By some Orgament, Run-ground, and Ground-royal; I hope there is no body but knoweth it by one of these names without any description.
This Herb is set of the slip only, for it beareth no seed, though it beareth a Flower. Now note, although this Herb be very common, and flourisheth mightily where it is once rooted, yet it is difficult planting of it at the first to have it grow, for if it be planted in dry earth and a dry season, it will not take root without abundance of water: To save this labour, set it in the beginning of March in borders sides, and it will prosper very well, and spring every year after: It requireth no more trouble but cutting off the branches after it hath flowered, and how good the vulgar vertues of this Herb are, there are but few but know it.
