Yet experience has taught us this prefent year 16760 that fuch

fome interception of their nourifliment^ which occafion difeafes^ 
and fuch difcolorations both in their leaves and flowers, 
I 8. That this is true of all firiped Plants^ is manifeft, in thac 
fuch difcolorations may be procured by artificial fubftra6lion of 
the nourifliment, viz^ by applying Lime^ or other hot dry matter 
to their roots ; which drying up, or otherwife rendring the 
nourijbment unfit, will thus make the Plants ftriped ; as our very 
Learned Botanic Profejfor^ Dr. Mori/on, informs us he obferved it 
in Dulcamara creeping through Lime and other rubbifli of Build- 
ings, at the Duh of Orleans his Houfe at Blois^ whence not only 
ours^ but moft other Gardens of Europe have fince been fupplyed 
with the white ftriped Dulcamara. 
19. Moreover, that fuch y2ri/>i«^5 are nothing but difiafe, ap- 
pears plainly in that moft, if not all ftriped Plants^ are fomwhat 
deformed and imperfe^ in their leaves ; and though ftriped very 
lively in the beginning of the^'^ri;;^, will many of them recover 
in fome meafure, at leaft before Autumn^ and fome of them have 
their leaves at length as green^ as the reft of the healthy Plants of 
their ^iwi/: Which 1 take to be manifeft arguments of their fickr 
neft^ and fuch ftripings to be only difcolorations ^^nd no ornaments 
of perfection, though ornaments of our Gardens^
