Strawberries,

In Latine Fraga, most toothsome to the Palate, (I mean if with Claret Wine or sweet Cream) and so plentiful in this Coun∣ty, that a Traveller may gather them, sit∣ting on Horse-back in their hollow High∣wayes; they delight to grow on the North side of a bank, and are great coolers. These small and sowre, as growing wild (having no. other Gardiner then Nature) quickly acquire greatnesse and sweetnesse, if trans∣planted into Gardens, and become as good as those at Porbery in Somerset-shire, where twenty pounds per annum (thank the vi∣cinity of Bristol) have been paid for the Tythe thereof. I would not wish this County the increase of these Berries, ac∣cording to the Proverb; Cut down an Oak, and set up a Strawberry.
