nions, the one will not hinder the Growth ol the 
other ; the Onions being ftill drawn away, to make 
room for the Shir rets , that they may have their 
full growth againft Winter. But Gerard fays, they 
are Planted (in Gardens) by the Roots, for the 
greater and thicker ones being taken away, the lef- 
fer are put into the Earth again, which is belt to 
be done in A larch or April , before the Stalks come 
up. The fecond grows Wild in AEgypt ; but with 
us in Gardens. 
VII. The Times. They Flower and Seed later 
than the Parfncp, viz. about the latter end of Ju- 
ly , or beginning of Augujl, and the Seed is ripe 
about the end of Auguft or beginning of September. 
And the Roots are taken up to be eaten about the 
end of February and all March, and fometimes in 
April.

Virtues, and llfes, are altogether the fame with
