 Hairy Hyffop. 



13. Hyssopus hirfuta, fore alio. 

 Tourn. Hairy Hyffop, with a white 

 Flower. 



All the Sorts of Hyffop are pro- 

 pagated either by Seeds or Cuttings : 

 if by the Seeds, they muft be fown 

 in March, upon a Bed of light Tan- 

 dy Soil ; and when the Plants come 

 up, they mould be tranfp'anted out 

 to the Places where they are to re- 

 main, placing them at leaft a Foot 

 afunder each Way : but if they are 

 deiigned to abide in thofe Places 

 for a long time, two Feet Diftance 

 will be fmaU enough ; for they grow 

 pretty large, efpecially if they are 

 not frequently cut, to keep them 

 within Compafs. They thrive beft 

 upon a poor dry Soil, in which Si- 

 tuation they will endure the Cold of 

 our Climate better than when they 

 are planted on a richer Soil. If you 

 would propagate them by Cuttings, 

 they mould be planted in April or 

 May, in a Border where they may 

 be defended from the violent Heat 

 of the Sun ; and being frequently 

 watered, they will take Root in 

 about two Months ; after which, 

 they may be tranfplanted where they 

 are to continue, managing them as 

 was before directed for the Seedling- 

 plants. 



The firft Sort was formerly more 

 cultivated than it prefent in England, 

 that being the Sort commonly ufed 

 in Medicine. The other Species are 

 preferved in curious Gardens for 

 their Variety ; but they are feldom 

 cultivated for Ufe. 



All thefe Sorts of Hyffop are very 

 hardy Plants, which will endure the 

 Cold of our Winters in the open 

 Air, provided they are planted in a 

 dry undunged Soil ; for when they 

 are planted in a rich Soil, they grow 

 very luxuriant in Summer, and are

lefs able to refift the Cold in Winter ; 

 fo that when any of thefe Plants 

 grow out of the Joints of old Walls 

 (as they frequently c\o\ they will 

 refift the mod fevere Froft; and will 

 be much more aromatic, than thofe 

 which grow in a rich Soil. 



It hath been a great Difpute 

 amongit modern Writers, whether 

 the Hyffop now commonly known 

 is the fame which is mention'd in 

 Scripture : about which there is 

 great room to doubt, there being 

 very little Grounds to afcertain that 

 Plant: tho' it is mod generally 

 thought to be the Winter-favory, 

 which Plant is now in great Requeft 

 amongft the Inhabitants of the Ea- 

 fern Countries, for outward Warn- 

 ings or Purifications.
