fhall haue them beare flowersthe next yeare after ; and yeeld re encreafe of flippes 
alfo, To giue yowany fectimhe, wherein thefe flippes will take reote, and begin to 
fhoote aboue ground, is very hardtodoe; forthat euery flip,oryeteuety kinde of Gils 
loflower is notalike apt to grow 5 nor is cuery earth in like mannet fit to produce and 
bring forward the flippes that are fet therein: butif boththe flippebeapt to prow,and 
the earth of the beft, fitto produce, Ithinke within a fortnight orthree weekes ; ‘you 
fhall fee them begin to put forth young leaves in the middle,orelfe it may beamoneth 
and more before you fhallfee any fpringing, The beft time likewife when to plant,is 
afpeciall thing to be knowne, and ofiasigreat confequenceas any thing elfe: For ifyou 
flippeand fet in September, as many vfetodoe, or yet in Anguit, as fome may thinke 
will doe well, yet(valeffe they bethe moft ordinary forts, whichare likely to growat 
any time, and in any place) themoft ofthem,if not all; will either affuredly perifh, or 
neuer profper well : forthe moreexcellentand dainty the Gilloflower is; the moré 
tender forthe moft part, and hard to‘nurfe vp will theflippes be.’ Phe beft timethere- 
fore is, that you cut off fuch flippesasare likely , andfuch as your rootes may {pare, 
from the beginning of May vatillche middle of Iuneatthe furtheft , and order them 
as I haue fhewed you before, that fo you may haue faire plantsy plenty of lowers, and 
encreafe fufficient fornew fupply , without offence or loffe of yourftore: Fortheen- _

better thriue and profper , diuers hauevfed diuers forts of manure; as ftable foyle of 
- horfe, beafts orkine, of theepe,and pigeons, all which are very good whenthey are 
thoroughly turned:to mould, tomixe with your otherearth,'or being {teeped in water, 
may ferue to water the earth at times, and turned in with it, And iome hauelikewife

whichis foundia the hollow of old Willow trees ; tobe the moft principall to mixe 
with other good earth for this purpofe.. And as Thaue now given you directions for
