Year they are fown. The fureft. 

 Method to have thefe Plants fucceed 

 in a Garden is, to low their Seeds 

 in the Autumn, as foon as they are 

 ripe, on a Bed or Border of poor, 

 dry, gravelly, or chalky Soil, on 

 which they will thrive much better 

 than on a rich garden Earth. When 

 the Plants are come up, they mould 

 be thinned, leaving them fix or eight 

 Inches afunder ; and afterward, if 

 they are kept clear from Weeds, 

 they will require no farther Care. 



The firft Sort was formerly much 

 ufed by the Germans, as a Wound- 

 herb, from whence it obtained its 

 Name ; but at prefent it is not in 

 any Ufe. 



UVULARIA. 



The CbaraBers are ; 

 It is of the liliaceous "Tribe : the 

 Flower has no Empalement , and is 

 \Compofcd of fix Leaves, which are 

 i long and narrow : in the Centre of the 

 1 Flower the Vointal arifes, being fur- 

 grounded by fix Stamina, each fupport - 

 \ing an oblong Summit ; the Point al of 

 \terward becomes an oblong three- cor- 

 nerd Seed-vejfel, having three Cells, 

 which are filled with round compreffed 

 Seeds. 



The Species are; 



1 . Uvular i a folio integerrimo. 

 Flor. Leyd. Uvularia with an intire 

 Leaf. 



2. Uvularia foliis cordatis ob- 

 hngis. Flor. Leyd. Uvularia with 

 Dblong heart-map'd Leaves. 



The firft Sort is a Native of Cana- 

 ia and Virginia, and has been long 

 :ultivatedin feveral curious Gardens 

 n Europe. It was firft ranged in the 

 3enus of Polygonatum ; and, by Dr. 

 3cerhaave, it was placed with the 

 7 ritillaria ; but this Title of Uvu- 

 aria was given to it by Dr. Linn.?- 

 s, from the Refemblance which the 

 'ruit of it has to the Uvula. 



The fecond Sort is a Native of 



Germany, from whence it has beeri 

 brought to feveral curious Gardens. 



They are both very hardy Plants, 

 fo will live in the full Ground. They 

 produce their Flowers in March and 

 April, at the fame Seafon with the 

 Fritillarias ; but as the Flowers have 

 not much Beauty, the Plants are only 

 cultivated for the fake of Variety. 

 They are only propagated by part- 

 ing of their Roots ; for they do not 

 produce Seeds in England. The bell: 

 Seafon for removing them is about 

 Michaelmas, when their Roots may- 

 be feparated, and planted in the 

 Borders of the Flower-garden ; but 

 this mould be done every third Year ; 

 for if they are often removed, the 

 Plants will not thrive fo well, or 

 flower fo ftrong, as when they ftand 

 two or three Years unremov'd, 

 They delight in a Soil not too wet or 

 ItirF, but a gentle Hazel-loam.

WALKS are made either of 

 Gravel, Sand, or Grafs; 

 tr.eie three Sorts of Walks are the 

 moll common in Engla?:d; but where 

 Gravel or Sand cannot be procur'd, 

 they are fometimes laid with pow- 

 dered Coal, Sea-coal Allies, and 

 fometimes of powdered Brick; but 

 thefe are rarely ufed, when either 

 Gravel or Sand can be procur'd : 

 however, where Sea-coal Ames can 

 be had, it is preferable to the pow- 

 der'd Coal or Bricks ; becaufe the 

 A(hes bind very hard, and never 

 ftick to the Feet in frofty Weather, 

 which is a very good Quality ; but 

 the Darknefs of its Colour has been 

 an Objection to the Ufe of it in Gar- 

 dens:
