The Species are ; 



1. Napus fativa, radice alba. 

 C. B. P. Garden Navew, with a 

 white Root. 



2. Napus Jativa, radice nigra. 

 C. B. P. Garden Navew, with a 

 black Root. 



3. Napus Jylvejiris. C.B.P. 

 Wild Navew. 



The two firft Species of this Plant 

 are cultivated in France, Italy, and 

 Germany, in great Abundance ; in 

 which Places they are much pre- 

 ferr'd to common Turneps, being 

 accounted a more delicious Food ; 

 but in England they have not yet fo 

 much obtain'd, being only cultiva- 

 ted by fome curious Perfons, and are 

 but rarely brought to the Markets. 



Thefe Plants may be cultivated 

 by (owing their Seeds in June, July, 

 and Augujl, after the fame manner as 

 is praclis'd for common Turneps ; 

 and when the Plants are come up, 

 they mould be hoed in the like 

 manner to deftroy the Weeds, and 

 cut up the Plants where they come 

 op too thick ; with this Difference 

 only; <zriz. that thefe may be left 

 defer together than common Tur- 

 neps ; for neither their Leaves nor 

 their Roots grow near fo large. The 

 PIant?,being thus cleard from Weeds, 

 and cut up where they are too thick, 

 will require no farther Care until 

 they are fit for Ufe ; which (if the 

 Seafon proves favourable) will be in 

 about two Months after they are 

 fown ; when they muft be drawn 

 up, and treated as common Tur- 

 neps. The wild Sort is pretty cc-i- 

 xnon upon dry Banks in mod Parts 

 of England, where it flowers early in 

 the Spring : but is never cultivated 

 in Gardens ; but in the Ifle of Ely 

 it is very much cultivated, it being 

 the Colefeed, from which they draw 

 an Oil : the Seeds of this Kind are 



us'd in Medicine; and by mod pre- 

 ferr'd to thofe of the Garden 

 Sort.
