fcreme hardy : they may be propa- 

 gated by Layers, which mould be 

 laid down in the Autumn, as foon 

 as the Leaves begin to decay ; and 

 by the next Autumn they will have 

 made good Root •> fo may be trans- 

 planted either into a Nurfery for 

 two or three Years, to get Strength, 

 or the Places where they are de- 

 fign'd to remain. 



They may alfo be propagated by 

 Cuttings, which ihould be p anted 

 in a lhady Border of loamy Earth in 

 the Autumn ; and if the Spring 

 fhould prove dry, they mull be du- 

 ly watered : if this is obferved, they 

 will have good Roots by the fol- 

 lowing Autumn, and may then be 

 treated as the Layers. 



The fmgle blue berried Upright 

 Honeyfuckie is now in feveral Nur- 

 (eries near Lona'cn, though r.ct very 

 plenty. This Sort produces its 

 Flowers very early in the Spring, 

 about the fame time cs the Mteere- 

 o.i ; but there is nc great Beauty in 

 the Flowers ; however, it mould 

 have a Place in every curious Gar- 

 den of Plants. 



r i he nfth, fixth, and feventh Sorts 

 are yet very rare in England \ thefe 

 are Natives cf the dtps, Pyrenees, 

 and other moui rainous Places \ foare 

 extremely hardy. Thefe Shrubs 

 feldom rife above three or four Feet 

 high ; lo may be intermixed with 

 others of the fame Growth : they 

 love a lhady Situation, and a moiil 

 Soil.. 



They may be propagated by Cut- 

 tings or Layers, in the fame manner 

 as hath been directed for the for- 

 mer Sorts ; and when they are root- 

 ed, they fhould be planted in a Nur- 

 fery for two or three Years, to get 

 Strength, before they are planted 

 ouc for gcod. 



The lair. Sort is an herbaceous 

 Plant, which decavs to the Rco: 



l d 



every Year, and Hfes again the 

 Spring following. This grows plen- 

 tifully in molt Parts of North- Ame- 

 rica, where the Root has been long 

 ufed for the Ipecacaana, to which 

 this Plant feems to be near akin | 

 for by forne dried Specimens which 

 were fentme of the true Ipecacuana, 

 there feems but little Difference be- 

 tween the two, in the Leaves and 

 Growth of the Plant, nor in their 

 Fruit ; but the Roots have a very 

 d iff er ent Figure. 



This Plant is called in America. 

 Fever root, and Dr. Tixk-rs Weed, 

 from the Phyfician who fcrft brought 

 it into Ufe for the Cure of Fevers. 

 This was titled by Dr. DMcnius, in 

 the Ihrtui EltbamtnJUf Ynofteo fir* 

 tfhuftj from the Fruit having U""" 

 Seeds in each. 



It is a very hardy P'ant; fo will 

 endure the greattft Cold of this 

 Country in the open Air ; and de- 

 lights in a light moid Soil, and 3 

 fhady Situation, where it may have 

 only the morning Sun. It rifes with 

 fev eral Stalks from the fame Root, 

 to the Height of two Feet or up- 

 ward : thefe are garnifhed with ob- 

 long Lv awes, which are broad in the 

 Middle, but draw to a Point at each 

 End : thefe arc fet on by Pairs, and 

 the Tails of the Leaves clolely em- 

 btace the Stalks. The Flowers are 

 produced in Whorles round the 

 Stalks, at the Setting on of the 

 Leaves; and are of a dark purple 

 Colour, fnaped iike-thofe of the Up- 

 right Koneyfuckle: thefe are inc- 

 ceeded by yellow fucculent Berries, 

 which have three Seeds in each. 



It may be propagated by the 

 Seeds; but thefe commonly remain 

 a whole Year in the Ground before 

 they come up, efpecially when tnj-y 

 are kept ou: of the Ground t;H the 

 Spring ; therefore it is tbe befl Way 

 to fbw them in the Autumn, foon
