36 The Garden of p leaf ant Flowers. 



The Time. 



The firft early Martagons flower in the end of May, or beginning of 

 lune, and that is a moneth at the leaft before thofe that come from Con- 

 rtantinople, which is the fecond kinde. The two firft yellow Martagons 

 flower fomewhat more early, then the early red Martagons, and fometimes 

 at the fame time with them. But the third yellow Martagon, as is faid, flow- 

 reth a moneth later or more, and is in flower when the red Martagon of 

 Conftantinople flowreth. And although the early red and yellow Marta- 

 gons, fpring later then the other Martagons or Lillies, yet they are in flower 

 before them. 



The Names. 



The firft early red Lillies or Martagons haue beene fent vnto vs by feue- 

 rall names, as Martagon Pomponeum, and thereafter are called Martagon of 

 Pompony, and alfo Liliurn or Martagon Macedonicum, the Lilly or Marta- 

 gon of Macedonia. They are alfo called by Cluiius Lilium rubrum prcecox, 

 the one angustiore folio, the other latiore folio. And the laft of this kinde hath 

 the title Jiore phceniceo added or giuen vnto it, that is, the Martagon or Lilly 

 of Macedonia with gold red flowers. 



The Martagons of Conftantinople haue beene fent by the Turkifh name 

 Zujiniare, and is called Martagon, or Lilium Byzantinum by fome, and He- 

 merocallis Chalcedonica by others ; but by the name of the Martagon of Con- 

 ftantinople they are moft commonly receiued with vs, with the distinction 

 ofmaculatum to the one, to diftinguifh the forts. The laft kinde in this clafsis, 

 hath his name in his title, as it hath been fent vnto vs. 



The Yellow Martagons are diftinguifhed in their feuerall titles, as much 

 as is conuenient for them.

 Lilium Aureum & Lilium Rubrum. The Gold and Red Lillies. 



THere are yet fome other kindes of red Lillies to bee defcribed, which differ 

 from all the former, and remaine to be fpoken of in this place. Some of them 

 grow high, and fome lowe, fome haue fmall knots, which wee call bulbes, 

 growing vpon the ftalkes, at the ioynts of the leaues or flowers, and fome haue none :
