of two forts , the one with broad Leaves , the other 
with narrow Leaves deeply cut or g'afht in 6 n both 
J ides . The firft with broad Leaves is fomething 
like unto Endive, but narrower , among which rife 
up Stalks , on which grow the like Leaves but J mai- 
ler. The Stalk divides its felf towards the top in- 
to many Branches , on which do grow J'mall blew 
blowers conftfling of many J'mall Leaves , after which 
follows the Seed •, which is fo like to Endive-Seed, 
that it is very hard to diflinguifh them afunder by 
Sight - 9 but the Curled Endive gives blackifh flat 
Seed , very like unto black Lett ice Seed ^ whereas 
the Seed of the Garden Succory is whitifh. 
IV. The fecond, or red Flowered Succory. This 
is that with the narrow Leaves. Its Root is like 
the former, long, white , and abiding many Tears. 
The Leaves are long , and more divided or gafht in 
on the edges and yet longer in the tall , high , round 
Succory Garden Narrow Leaved. 
Stalks. The Flowers are like the former , with this 
only difference , that thefe are of a pale red de- 
cayed color , which many times degenerates , and 
turns to be blew , being produced from the Seed of 
this red Kind. Of this fort , there is one alfo 
which bears white Flowers , not differing elfe , but 
the Seed of this white Kind , as spell cut of the red 
Kind , will fometimes give blew flower’d Plants, 
and is inform like to the Seed of the broad leav’d 
Garden Succory. 
V. The third, or Wild Cichory or Succory. 
Its Root is white , but more hard and woody than 
the former. It has divers long Leaves lying up- 
on the Ground , very much cut in or torn on the 
edges on both fldes , even to the middle rib , ending 
in a Point. Sometimes it is found to have a red 
Rib or Vein down the middle of the Leaves , from 
among which , rifes up a hard , round , woody Stalk , 
fpre adding into many Branches , fetwith f mailer and 
Succory Wild . 
lefs divided Leaves on them , up to the tops , where 
fltmd the Flowers, both for Form and Color like to 
the JirJl Garden Kind, viz. blew, after which comes 
like fajhion’d Seed. 
VI. The P laces. The firft two grow with us 
only in Gardens ; but the fecond fort has been 
found growing wild in Italy, and that with white 
Flowers Wild in Germany. The third is found 
growing Wild in many places in England, in wafte, 
untill’d and barrenGrounds. 
VII. The Times. They are all Sown in the 
Spring, and quickly come up, Flowering in the 
Summer Months, and Seeding in Auguji or Har- 
veft time, and then dies down ; but being Sown 
in July , it remains till Winter s at which time 
it is taken up by the Roots, and laid in the Sun 
or Air for the fpace of two Hours : after which 
time it will be rough, and may be wrapped up in 
a heap, and buried in the Earth with the Roots 
upwards, fo as no Earth can get within it (which 
if it fhould, it would become rotten : ) and being 
thus covered, it may be taken up again, when 
occaiion for its ufe requires it ; and fo to be ufed 
in Sallees all the Winter, and then is called 
whitned Succory. Farkinfon fays, it is ufually 
buried a while in Sand,, and fo grows white, by 
which means it becomes both more tender in the 
Eating, and alfo loofes fome part of its bitter- 
nefs. 
VIII. The Qualities. Succory is temperate in 
refpetl to heat or cold, or rather hot in the be- 
ginning of the firft Degree, and drying in the 
fame ; Aperitive, Abfterfive, Diuretick, and a 
little Binding ; Stomatick, Hepatick, Splenetick 
and Nephritick. 
IX. The Specification, Preparations, Virtues 
and Ufes, are altogether the fame with thofe of 
Endive, in Chap 244. Self. IX. ad XVIII. to which 
we refer you. But as Succory is lefs cold, and 
mote drying than Endive, fo it is more opening.
