It is a plant that springeth every year, when it is at its full growth, it lieth one half of the ground, the other rising up; * 1.1 the whole branches being nigh three foot in length, with ma∣ny knots or joints, where springeth many small leaves set close on to the stalk, betwixt the stalk and the leaves springeth tufts whereon are many small Flowers, four leaves in number of a Pink colour, rising all of a height, that at a distance you would take it for one united Flower: this plant continueth flowering both June and July, it seldom or never beareth seed to perfection.
Now this plant is set of the slip in March or September; the * 1.2 slips must be such as have part of the root and of the branch, and that is easie to be had where they grow, for the root spreadeth in the ground mightily. The place for planting of them is in banks or border sides: I shall not need to stand to declare every particular of it, but as you set the Bachelors-buttons, so set these: where they are once planted they al∣wayes continue, they need no more trouble, but after their flowering cut off the old vines, and they will spring anew again.
