Pot-Margerum.

I imagine it is altogether needlesse to describe it, seeing it is so common an Herb; therefore take the propagating of it by seed and slip, as followeth.

First, Of the seed: The season for it is either in the latter end of April, or the latter end of August; the place is in a bed by it self, in a quarter with other sweet Herbs, and done in the manner, as I shewed you of Basil.

Secondly, Of the slip, that is done at the same seasons, but sometimes not in the same places; for we set it on border sides to keep them up, where it will spring as well as in a bed, and it will continue alwayes where it is once rooted in bed or border, for it putteth forth side suckers which flou∣rish after the old plant dieth: I think it is but lost labour to write any thing more of it, the Herb being so hardy, and so well known.
