The third Sort isa Variety of the firft, which is by fome preferved for the Sake of its variegated Leaves, The fourth Sort is very like the Common in Appearance, but is muchlarger, andhas lefs Scent. All thefe Sorts are eafily propagated by their creeping Roots, which if permitted to remain undifturb’d, will ina fhort Time over- {pread the Ground where they are planted; the Paths round them may be often dug, to keep their Roots within Bounds. They may be tranfplanted either in Spring or Aut and will thrive in almoft any Soil or Situa- tion. The common Tan/y is greatly ufed in the Kitchen early in the Spring, at which Seafoa that which is in the open Ground, or efpe- cially in a cold Situation, is hardly forward wanted at that Seafon, it is the beft Wayto make a gentle Hot-bed in December, andplant the old Roots thereon, without parting ’em, and arch the Bed over with Hoops, to covet England, viz.

This Plant is rarely cultivated in Gardens, but grows wild under the Sides of Hedges in divers Parts of England, andis there gather’d for medicinal Ufe. It may be eafily propasated by fowing the Seeds foon after they are under the Shelter of Bufhes, where, in pring, the Plants will come up, and pread their Branches over’ the Bufhes, and fupport themfelves, requiring no farther Care ; 3 fhift °em into larger Pots, as they fhall re- quire it) the it with Mats in cold Weather, by which Method the Tanfy will come up in fanuary, and be fitto cut in a fhort Time after. The fifth Sort was brought fromthe Cape of Good-Hope, andis preferved in the Gardens of thofe who are curious in collecting exotick Plants. This may be propagated by planting Cuttings or Slips, during any of the Summer Months, upon a Bed oflight rich Earth, ob- ferving to water and fhade ’emuntil they have taken Root, after which they may be taken up, and planted in Pots filled with light freth Earth, placing them in a fhady Situation — they nts will grow large, and produce a great ity of Flowers, which commonly appear early in the Spring, thereby greatly add to the Variety of the ter rifes into the Bark, it will cool it fo much deat, without taking it again, andfreth mix ts, and forced by | (as is fome it, that ir may not fettle in I to prefs it down g ders it of great Service to Hot-b fecondly, after it is well rotted, excellent Manure for all Sorts Land, upon which one Load ofZan is better than two ofthe t rotten Duug, and will conti | he Ground. tread or beat it dc Fun for Hot-beds has not been very many Years| brought over firft from Holland, ufed for thofe Purpof d that it s j, and was it had unaer it will foon Trench, ) every Part of you fhould be (whenlaid in a Body), which is always mo- derate, and of a long Duration, which ren- e Ule of fhould be han three TAN or TANNERS BARK, isthe Bark of the Qak-tree, chopped and ground into coarfe Powder, to be ufed in Tanning or Dreffing of Sk after which it of great Ufe in Garden Firft, by its Fermentz r to its former of the Trench i The Thicknefs w Green-houfe, fo that the Slips fhould be placed at leaft a Foot afunder, and in particular Beds, where enough to cut; fo that where this is much cluding roundifh S be added, that thefe as the White Briony We nts, until the Beginning of up in a rou Cefpecially ifit beir Green-houfe, obierving to place ’em in the the Seafonis moift) cooleft Part thereof, and as near the Windows into the Trench whe as poflible, that they mayenjoythe free Air which fhould be brick’d in mild Weather, otherwife they will draw round, to prevent the Eartl up weak, and be liable to grow mouldy, and the B Thefe decay. tioned to the Size of tl They mutt alfo be frequently watered, but cover them, and the in very cold Weather they mutt not have too according to the Moift much Water given them at each Time, tho’ theyare fituated ; for if the Groundis very in Summerthey fhould haveit in Plen With wet, the Bedfhould be rai ove the Surthis Management (together with obferving to face of the Ground, becaufé if ever the WaOdtober, when they muft be removed into the Thefe Trees are preferv’d in the Gardens of 1.
