Year : thefe will flower in June, and 

 in July the Seed will ripen, which 

 mult be taken as foon as it is ripe, 

 and beat out, otherwife the firft Rain 

 will wafh it all out of the Husks, 



Thefe Plants root greatly in the 

 Ground, and thereby draw out the 

 Goodnefs of the Soil fooner than 

 moft other Plants ; fo that whatever 

 is fown or planted upon a Spot of 

 Ground, whereon Thyme grew the 

 preceding Year, will feldom thrive, 

 unlefs the Ground be trench'd deep- 

 er than the Thyme rooted.

The three firft: -mention'd Trees 

 are very common in England, being 

 cultivated in moft Nurferies ; but 

 the Carolina and American black 

 Lime are not at prefent very com- 

 mon. The Seeds of the firfl: were 

 fent from Carolina by Mr. Mark 

 Catefby, in the Year 1726; but as 

 yet there does not appear any confi- 

 derable Difference between this and 

 the commonSort : theSeeds of the lat- 

 ter I receiv'd from Virginia, That with 

 ftriped Leaves is preferv'd by fome 

 for the fake of Variety ; but there 

 is no great Beauty in it. 



The fixth Sort has been lately in- 

 troduced from North- America into 

 the Englijh Gardens : the Leaves of 

 this Sort are much larger and rougher 

 than either of the other, having 

 fomewhat the Appearance of thofe 

 of the Mulberry tree : the Shoots 

 and Buds are of a dark Colour ; 

 from whence I fuppofe the Name of 

 Black-lime was applied to it by the 

 Inhabitants of America. 



This Sort is as hardy as any of the 

 other: but it is not fo quick of 

 Growth : the Shoots of one Year 

 feldom exceed fix Inches ; tho' by 

 the Appearance of the Stems, it 

 feems as if it was a Tree of large 

 Growth in its native Country. 



All thefe Trees are eafily propa- 

 gated by Layers, which in one Year 

 will take good Root, and may then 

 be taken off, and planted in a Nur- 

 fery, at four Feet Diflance Row 

 from Row, and two Feet afunder in 

 the Rows : the belt time to lay them 

 down, and to remove them, is at 

 Michaelmas, when their Leaves be- 

 gin to fall, that they may take Root 

 before the Froft comes on, though 

 they may be tranfplanted any time 

 from September to March , in open 

 4 $ 4 Weather ;
