‘r 'iff ° ,K h > f rom w b'nce grow up Jeveral 
fmall Stalks and Branches , not exceeding tie for- 
mer height, but it has finer and fmaller Leaves 
hoary and foft, and much fweeter than the former- 
the Heads are like unto that, and lo are the 
blowers and Seed, the whole Plant being mote 
tender than the the firft Common fweet Marjerom 
„ ab ‘ dln s but a Summer in like manner. 
V. the third , or Winter fweet Marjerom 
Ibis is an excellent Plant, and abides green all 
ice Winter, if it is not to violent growing in the 
fame manner and form which the firl } does , and 
its Leaves are a little fmaller and greener than it 
but with the like Heads and Knots. Yet fome’ 
take this to be but the Common Summer fweet 
marjerom -which by Tranfplanting, is made more 
thong, and able to abide the Winter. 
VI. The fourth, or Winter or Pot Marjerom. 
It has a Root which is white and thready not pcnfh- 
tng tn Winter, but abiding many years , and is en- 
creafed rather by Slipping ami Jets, than by Sowing 
the Seed. It is a fmall low bulliy Herb, not grow- 
ing much higher than any of the others, but fpread- 
ing its Branches wider, on which grow broader and 
greener Leaves, fet by couples, or pairs, with 
lome fmaller Leaves alio, at the feverai Joints 
all along the Branches: at the Tods whereof 
grow a number of fmall, purplilh, white Flowers 
let together in a Tuft, which turn into fmall and” 
round Seed, larger than the Seed of the Common 
facet Marjerom. The whole Plant is of a fweet 
lniell, but much lefs and interior to the other 
being alfo nothing io hitter as is the Common 
Jrnet Marjerom, and therefore the more fit fora 
Pot-Herb.
