2 There is another fort like in fhapeand pro- 

 portion to the former fauing that the Ieauesof this 

 be ftreaked with red here and there confufedly, 

 which fetteth forth the difference. 



3 There is Jikewife another fort hereof, that 

 was brought vnto me from beyond the feas, by that 

 courteous Merchant mafter Lete, before remem- 

 bred, the which hath leauesvery great, and red of 

 colour, as is all the reft of the plant, as well root, as 

 ftalke,and floures full of a perfect purple juyce 

 tending to rednefle : the middle rib of which leaues 

 are for the raoft part very broad and thicke, like the 

 middle part of the Cabbage leafc,which is equal! 

 in goodnelTe with the leaues of Cabbage being 

 boyled. It grew with me i *$><?. to the height of 

 eight cubits, and did bring forth his rough and vn- 

 euen feed very plentifully : with which plant na- 

 ture doth feeme to play and fportherfeife ; for the 

 the feeds taken from that plant, which was altoge- 

 ther of one colour and fowen, doth bring forth 

 plants of many and variable colours, as the wor- 

 fhipfull Gentleman mafter John Norden can very 

 well teftifie : vnto whom I gaue fome of the feeds 

 aforefaid,which in his garden brought forth many 

 other of beautifull colours.
