•l^Thefp are varieties which have accidentally rifert 

 T: frqrn culture ; the fort with variegated flowers has not 

 i;been in England much more than thirty-five years^ 

 Is now very common in mofl: of the gardens, and 

 is by fome'perfons efteemed for the variety of its pur- 

 "^ple fl:ripes; but as the pyre white, of the flowpr 13 

 ;,^ftained by the'purple, fo as to appear of a dull co- 

 ;!;lour, therefore many prefer the "common white Lily.V ,. 

 The fort with variegated leaves Ts chiefly Valued for' 

 ", its appearance in winter and fpring, for as the leaves 

 come up early in the autumn, which ipread tljemfelves 

 flat on the ground, and beins; finely edged with broad 

 . yellow flinpes, they make a pretty appearance during 

 _ the winter and fpnng months. The flowers are the 

 .1 lame as tFofc of the common fort, but appear earlier 

 ' infummer, which may be occafioned by the roots .be- 

 ; -- ine weaker than thofe of the plain fort, for all varie- 

 ' gated plants are weaker than thole which are plain. 

 ! The white Lily with double flowers is lefs valuable 

 ""'than cither of the other, 'becaule their fiowers'never 

 open >*ell, iihlefs they are covered with glafles to 

 I flitlter them from the rain^and dew, fo often rot with- 

 out expanding. Theie flowers have none ofthe agree- 

 able odour which the fingle fort IS valued for, even 



when* they open the faireftV fot as by the multiplicity 

 of petals in the flowers; the parts of generation are 

 deftroyed, fo there is a want of the fecundating pow- 



- der from whenc§. the odour is fent out. ^ u; ■ v.
