1 The firll of thefe Trees is very 

 rommon in divers Parts of England, 

 particularly in Kent, where it grows 

 n moft of the Hedges upon the dry 

 ;halky Hills near Granjefend, Ro- 

 hefler, &c. in very great Plenty. 

 5ut notwithstanding its being thus 

 ommon, yet it deferves a Place in 

 mall Wildernefs - quarters, among 

 ther flowering Trees ; where, by 

 is mealy Leaves andShoots, together 

 rith its large Bunches of whiteFlow- 

 rs in the Spring, which are fucceed- 

 d by red Berries in Autumn, it af- 

 ordsan agreeable Variety. 



This Tree may be propagated ei- 

 ner from Seeds, or bv laying down

the tender Branches; but the forme* 

 Method, being tedious, is feldom 

 prattis'd ; efpecially fince young 

 Plants may be taken from theWoods 

 or Hedges, where there are many of 

 the oldTrees growing, from which a 

 Number may foon be propagated. 



The beft time for laying thefe 

 Branches is in Autumn, jull as the 

 Leaves begin to fall (the manner of 

 laying them, being the fame as for 

 other hardy Trees, need not be here 

 repeated). By the fucceeding 'Au- 

 tumn the Layers will be rooted, 

 when you may take them off from 

 the old Plants, and tranfplant them 

 into aNurlery for two or threeYears, 

 in which they may be trained up to 

 regular Stems and Heads, and may 

 afterward be planted where the/ 

 are to remain. This Tree com- 

 monly grows about twelve or 

 fourteen Feet high; but it is rarely 

 feen above fixteen or eighteen ; fo 

 that it mould be planted in Lines 

 with fuch Trees as do not exceed 

 this Growth : otherwife it will be 

 hid thereby, and their Beauty loft. 



The ftriped Sort may be propa- 

 gated by inarching it upon the plain 

 Sort. This is preferv'd by fuch as 

 delight in variegated Plants ; but 

 there is no great Beauty in it. Thefe 

 Trees feldom grow near fo large as 

 thofe of the plain Sort ; as is the 

 Cafe of all other ftrip'd Plants. 



The third Sort has been introduce! 

 into the Englijh Gardens fromNorth- 

 America, and is now pretty common- 

 ly cultivated in fome of the Nurfe* 

 ries near London, by the Title of 

 Black Haw ; which is the Name it 

 was brought by from America. 



This is a regular growing Shrub, 

 which rifes to the Height of ten or 

 twelve Feet : the Branches are pro- 

 duced oppofite, as are alfo the 

 Leaves ; which are of a deep-green 

 Colour^ and intire, having their
