leav'd Tobacco will doubtless grow up there the next year and this is called Female Tobacco Also if you sow the seed of Male or large leaved Tobacco in ground not hot enough or which is barren it will produce the Female for the Male in such abundance that you will hardly get it out again but it will yearly spring of it self Renealmus cals this sort {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} because the leaves are born up by a small stalk which the Greeks call {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Pennius cals it Nicotiana minor Lobelius Tobacum minus Herba Sana sancta minor The French call it Nicotiane Petite The Dutch Kleyne Taback The Germans Schmalblaterch Indianisch Wundtkran● The third Kind THe third fort called the lesser Tobacco is but a foot and half high and farre lower than the former The root is white going deep downwards the length of a span as thick as ones finger and is much set about with leaves on the sides The stalk is round fat with fine down upon it of a pale green upon which the leaves are green somewhat round fat full of juyce somewhat hairy not unlike to mad Nightshade but they are greater and more white The flowers are of a yellow pale colour standing in dented leafie cups farre smaller than those of great Tobacco they are hollow and are unfolded into five blunt once divided edges and when these fall there remains roundish heads that are full of pale wan seeds like to the small ones of the former Tobacco but they are bigger and round Bauhinus cals this kind yellow Henbane Matthiolus cals it the third sort of Henbane At Lions they call it black Henbane Dodoneus will have it yellow Henbane so will Lonicerus Gesner and Camerarius Tabernomtanus cals it Henbane of Peru. Gesner cals it Priapaeja of the Garden and Caesalpinus a kind of Tornabona The Neotericks call it smaller Tobacco like Henbane and at Lyons the lesser Tobacco The Germans name it Wundbilsam gelb Wundtkraut Lobelius cals it a doubtfull kind of yellow Henbane with leaves of Nightshade But I with the most learned Herbalist Dalechampius do not think this herb can be referred to Henbane for their faculties are quite contrary for the seed of this tasts sharp as also the leaves if you chew them they are a long time of a hot tast in your mouth and it cannot be extinguished but in long time and this is a great argument of heat Wherefore the famous Donanaeus did not well to call it Henbane of Peru nor any of the rest for it cannot be referred to any kind of it for the leaves are notably acrimonious which argues a hot and no cold temperament like to Henbane Noble Clusius cals this the fourth kind of Tobacco The Temperament VVHat concerns the faculties of the Male Tobacco for in this Discourse I chiefly treat of that there is great dissention amongst learned men Monardes holds it to be hot and dry in the second degree and moderate in the rest and Dalechampius holds the same Caesalpinus faith it is hot in the first and dry in the third degree Edward Done an English Writer holds it to be hot and dry almost in the third degree Others deny it to be hot but say it is extream cold because the smoke troubles the mind and brings a man almost into an Extasis and therefore they referre it to some kind of Henbane as I gave notice of before Bauhinus he sayes as much moved thereto by its stupefying quality and likeness of the forme that it hath with Henbane Mercatus saith it is extream hot Iacobus Gohorius dares not give his opinion but puts it off to some other time Lobelius thinks it is hot intensly in the second degree and he answers Dodonaeus that it bites in taste and is hot in the mouth yet Dodonaeus afterwards changed his opinion I with Renealmus say that the green leaves are hot and dry in the second degree which temperament the Sunne gives to them as it doth to the root and stalk by its heat and the Moon gives them their color but when they are dried they are hot and dry in the end of the third degree Tobacco is acrimonious and causeth thirst troubles the mind makes the head heavy which could not be unless some hot vapour flew up and fill'd the brain They do but sport that say it is cold for it hath all symptoms of heat The Time IT is sowed in the Island Hispaniola as also in other hot clymates about Autumn where almost all the year long it brings leaves flowers and buds It will grow with us if continual care be to help it It is not sowed with us before the warm Spring that is about the Ides or Nones of April as the weather is hot for it is chill and at the first fall of the leaf or cold weather it fades wherefore it must be well fenced from cold Noble Clusius thinks it should be sowed in August or September because the small seed lieth very long under ground before it spring forth and being sowed in March or in the Spring in August it will bring flowers and now and then seed But we find by experience that the seed of Tobacco sowed in April in our Countrey springs forth more happily and sooner and the stalks are more fruitfull and longer and the leaves are farre greater and fatt●● than when the seed is sowed in September The Plant is gathered when the Sunne is in the 18 19. and 20. degree of Leo Being once planted when the seed comes to be ripe it will sow it self plentifully of its own accord in many Gardens and Fields whether it is carried by force of winds It is sowed in the increase of the Moon and cut when the Moon decreaseth The seed is dedicated to Aquarius and Mars being very hot which quality it hath from Mars In Winter it can hardly be kept but in pots or woodden chests or little baskets made with osiers and that in Panteries and places under ground or hot houses or stowes and so it may be preserved without hurt for three or four years Caesalpinus would also have the stalks planted yet Basilius Beflerus Eistettensis saith he tried that in his Garden but it proved in vain The Place IT loves a fat and pleasant soyl the Bed to be plain smooth black well dressed it loves not sandy nor clay ground nor doth it delight in gravel wherefore it is no small charge if every other year it be dunged with Oxe dung some fift ashes very fine and mingle them but that comes forth very slowly and makes it long before it come to perfection It wonderfully desires water and therefore it must be watered especially in such dayes as are very fair when there fals no rain Let the Lands upon which you sow it be long and about three foot broad that by the furrows between he may pass on both sides that must pull or cut off the
