Fruity or Nuts, or elfe by Layers. This Shrub has fevcral 

 wonderful Properties attributed to it, relating to Secrets,

 JudasV rr«. The Tree of Juda^^ or of Judea^ is very much efteem- 

 ed, upon account of its fine red Flowers it grows to a con- 

 fiderable Height, and very thick : Its Wood is blackilh, and 

 its Leaf refembles that of the Apricock-Tree. It is multi-

The Ozier is a Shrub of the watery Kind, which flioots 

 not up very high. Its Wood is {lender, and Very pliable,
