II. The Kinds. Carrots are either Garden or 
Wild. The Garden , are, i. Paftinaca tenui folia fa-

is wholly red quite throughout : From this Root rife 
many winged Leavey, much cut and divided into ma- 
ny other Leaves ; and thofe cut again, and divided 
into many farts, oj a deep green color /ike the for- 
mer ; fome whereof m Autumn will turn to be of a 
hue Red or Purple ^ ( the beauty of which makes fe- 
ver al Perfons many times together the Leaves, to 
\Uck them in their Hats, or Heads, or Befoms or 
pm them on their Sleeves tnjlead of Leathers) from 
among which Leaves rjes up a Stalk , bearing many 
Leaves likewife upon it, but not fo high as the 
Patfnip, being about a yard high, bearing many 
Tufts or Vmbles of white Flowers, which turn into 
Jmall rough Seedffeeming as if it were hairy , and 
fuelling gratefully enough, it rubbed between the 
Fingers. In a word, the whole Plant differs very 
little from the former, except in the reinefs of the 
Root. 
V. Now here is to be noted, i. That the Tellow 
Carrot is of two forts, viz. The long and the Jhort. 
One 0) the long forts is of a pale yellow, and this 
has the greatelt and longeft Root, and likewife the 
greateft head of Green : this for the molt part is 
ihe worft lbrt of Parrot, not being fo fweet and 
liim as the other. The other long fort is of a deep 
Gold yellow color, having a fmaller head of Green 
Leaves upon it, and this is always the belt and 
fweetelf. Parhnfon fays, that yellow Carrots by 
fomecimes fowmg themfelves, do oftentimes make 
their Roots become White. The Jhort Roots are al- 
fo divided into pale and deep yellow, or Golden 
color. 2. That the red Carrots, befides thofe 
which are red quite throughout, there is another 
whofe Root is red without for a pretty way inwards’ 
but the middle is yellow. 
VI. The Places. They are only Sown in Gardens 
or other manured Fields, chofen and fitted out for 
that purpofe, aud delight to grow in a Sandy and 
light ground, that their Roots may the more eafilv 
pierce deep downwards, which in a itiff clay ground 
they cannot fo well do. 
VII. The Times. They are to be fown in March 
and April, the tall year they only ftrike down their 
Root ; and the year following they bring forth their 
flower and Seed. In parolina I faw a Carrot above 
Jour years old, which brought forth its ripe Seed in 
th e fifth year : The reafon thereof I conceive to be 
becaule the Mailer of the Houfe cut off every yeai? 
its green Tops, that it might not Seed, whereby 
the Root grew very great as alfo the green head 
the f jib year, whicn was four or five times as big 
as any ordmaiy Carrot head : This head he let Hand 
lor Seed, and it produced him an incredible quan- 
tity thereof, very fair, and nearly twice as large as 
ordinary Parrot Seed. 
U The Seed is hot and dry in 
the hrft Degree, Aperitive, Difcuffive, Diuretick 
Carminative, Stomatick, Nephritick, Hylferick, and 
Alterative : The Roots are Sweet, Flatulent, Ana- 
leptick, and bpermatogenetick. 
IX. As to their Specification, Preparations and 
Virtues, they are the fame with thofe of the Wild 
Parrot, treated of in the next Chapter, to which we 
refer you ; but with this note, that thefe Garden 
Kinds are nothing near fo ftrong and powerfirl as 
rhole of the Wild Kinds, the Seeds of both being 
chiefly ufed m Medicine : As for the Roots thl 
harden Kind a thoufand fold exceed the Wild for 
Food, not oniy for the pleafure of Eating them, 
but alfo for their Analeptick or Nouriffiing fa-
