The firft of thefe Plants is very 

 common in the Meadows in moll: 

 Parts of England^ frOm Whence the 

 Flowers are gathered, and brought 

 into the Markets in London for medi- 

 cinal Ufes ; but it is feidom cultiva- 

 ted in Gardens. 



The fecond and fifth Sorts are 

 many times planted in Gardens, for 

 their Beauty : thefe produce large 



L E 



Tufts of white radiated Flowers 

 upon the Summits of their Stalkr, 

 which continue a long time in Beau- 

 ty : they commonly grow two Feet 

 high or more; for which Reafon 

 they mould always be placed in the 

 Middle of large Borders, and require 

 to be planted at a good Diftance 

 from other Plants, otherwife they 

 will overbear them : fo that they 

 are not very proper for fmall Gar- 

 dens, taking up too much room. 



Thefe are very hardy Plants, and 

 may be propagated either by fowing 

 their Seeds, or parting their Roots : 

 the bed time for fowing their Seeds 

 is in March, upon a Border of frefli 

 light Earth; and when the Plants are 

 come up pretty ftrong, they mull be 

 tranfplanted into frefh Borders of the 

 like Earth, placing them at eight 

 Inches Diftance each Way : in thefe 

 Borders they may remain till Mi\ 

 cbaelmqs, when they mould be re- 

 moved into the Borders where they 

 are to continue, and the Summer 

 following they will produce Flow- 

 ers and Seeds. 



But if you would propagate them 

 by parting their Roots, the belt Sea- 

 fon for this Work is in September or 

 October j for if it be done in the 

 Spring, they feidom flower fo ftrong 

 the fucceeding Summer. 



The third Sort multiplies too fall 

 by its creeping Roots, which will 

 fprcad, and come up at a great Di- 

 ftance from the old Plant, lo that it 

 is hardly to be kept within tolerable 

 Bounds j but it is very apt to run 

 over whatever Plants ftand near; 

 for which Reafon it mould never be 

 placed amongft choice Flowers, but 

 allowed a Place in fomc abject Part 

 of the Garden, in a Corner allotted 

 to it ; where it will grow to the 

 Height of four Feet, and produce 

 large radiated white Flowers in Sep- 

 limber and October.
