The Place. 
All thefe forts of Pepper, came firft from the Weft Indies,called America, and the fevcrall parts thereof, Hraftile 
being reckoned as a parcel! thereof, and our Sommer Hands alfo, although we in Englifih from others falle relati¬ 
on, give ittheiname of Ginny Pepper, as though it originally came from thence : they are nurfed up in war¬ 
dens, in all the Provinces of Europe, and groweth in many places of Italy, Spaine , c f-c. Set in pots about 3 the 
windowes oftheir hoiifes, cither for the pleafure of the beautifull greene leaves and fruiteor cods, when they 
areripe, or for the ufe it ferveth, or both. Ciufim faith it is not onely planted in Spaine, and Portugailiti divers 
places, but in <JMoravia alfo as he faith, for the profits fake they make of the fruitc, which ferveth them in thofe 
parts, in the (lead ofthe Saft-lndian Pepper.- 
The Time, 
They ufe not to fovv them untill the end of March, or beginning of Aprill, no not in the warme Countries: 
they flower ufually not before the beginning of Augufl, at the Cooneft; and their brave red cods ripen not tho- 
rowly, untill the beginning of Winter, and fo wilt abide both with flowers and fruite,moft ofche Winter with 
them ; but if they take any frofts with us, they prefently perifh, and therefore mult be houfed if any will pre¬ 
serve them.
