ed taken in the fall, stoppeth the poares against
infections.
_Annyseedes_ make their growth, and beareth seeds the first yeere, and
dieth as _Coriander_: it is good for opening the pipes, and it is vsed
in Comfits.
_Artichoakes_ are renewed by diuiding the rootes into sets, in _March_,
euery third or fourth yeare. They require a seuerall vsage, and
therefore a seuerall whole plot by themselues, especially considering
they are plentifull of fruite much desired.
_Burrage_ and _Buglas_, two Cordials, renue themselues by seed yearely,
which is hard to be gathered: they are exceeding good Pot-hearbes, good
for Bees, and most comfortable for the heart and stomacke, as Quinces
and Wardens.
_Camomile_, set rootes in bankes and walkes. It is sweete smelling,
qualifying head-ach.
_Cabbages_ require great roome, they seed the second yeare: sow them in
_February_, remoue them when the plants are an handfull long, set deepe
and wet. Looke well in drought for the white Caterpillers worme, the
spaunes vnder the leafe closely; for euery liuing Creature doth seeke
foode and quiet shelter, and growing quicke, they draw to, and eate the
heart: you may finde them in a rainy deawy morning.
It is a good Pothearbe, and of this hearbe called _Cole_ our Countrie
House-wiues giue their pottage their name, and call them _Caell_.
_Carduus Benedictus_, or blessed thistle, seeds and dyes the first
yeere, the excellent vertue thereof I referre to Herbals, for we are
Gardiners, not Physitians.
_Carrets_ are sowne late in _Aprill_ or _May_, as Turneps, else they
seede the first yeere, and then their roots are naught: the second yeere
they dye, their roots grow great, and require large roome.
_Chibals_ or _Chiues_ haue their roots parted, as Garlick, Lillies, &c.
and so are they set euery third or fourth yeere: a good pot-hearb
opening, but euill for the eies.
_Clarie_ is sowne, it seeds the second yeere, and dyes. It is somewhat
harsh in taste, a little in pottage is good, it strengtheneth the
reines.
_Coast_, Roote parted make sets in _March_: it beares the second yeere:
it is vsed in Ale in _May_.
_Coriander_ is for vsage and vses, much like Anniseeds.
_Daffadowndillies_ haue their roots parted, and set once in three or
foure yeere, or longer time. They flower timely, and after _Midsummer_,
are scarcely seene. They are more for ornament, then for vse, so are
Daisies.
