Thefe muft be Town in the 

 Spring, as Peas j but mould have a 

 light dry Soil, and require more 

 room than the common Sort : for 

 the Plants are apt to fpread pretty 

 far, provided they like their Situa- 

 tion. They are both annual Plants, 

 which decay foon after their Seeds 

 are ripe. Thefe are fuppos'd to be 

 the Bean of the antient Greeks. 



The fifth Sort grows wild in di- 

 vers Parts of England, underHedges, 

 and by the Sides of Woods, where 

 it climbs upon whatever Bufhes are 

 near it ; and during the time of 

 flowering (which is commonly in 

 June and July ) it affords an agree- 

 able Profpeft. This Plant may be 

 :ultivated by the Sides of Wilder- 

 iefs-quarters ; where it may be al- 

 ow'd to climb upon fome low Bufh- 

 es, without which Support it feldom 

 :hrives well ; and in fuch lhady Si- 

 uations it will flower extremely, and 

 continue forfeveral Years. The bell 

 Way to propagate it is by fowing 

 he Seeds either in Spring or Au- 

 umn, in the Places where they are 



remain ; for thefe Plants com- 

 lonly moot their Roots downright 

 ito the Ground, fo that they feldom 

 hrive well, if tranfplanted. 



1 The fixth, eighth, and fifteenth 

 orts grow wild in this Kingdom, 

 "he fixth is very common in fhady 

 Voods, and on the Sides of Banks 

 Wer Trees, in moft Parts of Eng- 

 \nd* The eighth Sort is found on 

 bootover-bill, and in fome other 

 'laces inEngland. And the fifteenth 

 rows on Glaftenbury -thorn-bill in<So- 

 irfetjbire. 



The feventh, ninth, tenth, twelfth, 

 'urteenth, fixteenth, feventeenth, 

 yd eighteenth Sorts grow wild in 

 \rmany, France, and Italy ; but are 

 it Natives of this Country. Thefe 

 e all of them abiding Plants, whofe 

 )ots continue feveral Years ; but

their Shoots die down in Autumn, 

 and frem ones come out the follow- 

 ing Spring ; fome of which will rife 

 to the Height of five or fix Feet, and 

 trail over Bufhes, or whatever Plants 

 they grow near ; fo that they muft 

 be fupported, other wife they will 

 appear very unfightly. 



Thefe may be propagated by 

 Seeds, which may be fown in Drills 

 on a Border of freih Earth, expos'd 

 only to the morning Sun. The belt 

 time for fowing thefe Seeds is in 

 March, and when the Plants come 

 up, they muft be kept clean from 

 Weeds ; and w r here they are too 

 clofe together, fome of them mould 

 be drawn up to give room for the 

 remaining ones to grow flrong. 

 This is all the Culture they require 

 till Michaelmas, when their Shoots 

 will decay; at which time the Roots 

 mould be carefully taken up, and 

 tranfplanted where they are defigned 

 to remain, which mould be under 

 Trees, and in other ihady Wilder- 

 nefs-quarters : where, if they are 

 rightly difpos'd, they will thrive ex- 

 tremely well, and make an agreeable 

 Variety. 



The eleventh Sort grows wild in 

 the S tcec hades IJles, from whence the 

 Seeds have been obtain'd by fome 

 curious Perfons, who preferve the 

 Sort for the fake of Variety ; as is 

 alfo the eighth Sort, which is found 

 wild in the Neighbourhood of Pa^ 

 ris. 



The nineteenth, twentieth, twen- 

 ty-firft, twenty-fecond, twenty-third, 

 and twenty-fourth Sorts were difco- 

 ver'd by Dr. Tournefort in the Le- 

 vant* from whence he fent their 

 Seedsto the Royal Garden at Paris, 

 Thefe, though they are Nati-es ct 

 warmer Countries than England, yet 

 will thrive very well in the open 

 Air, and may b$ admitted into Gar- 

 dens for the fake of Variety.
