 The fmall early white Daffodill with a long cup. 



The leaues of this early Daffodill are broad, very greene, and not whitifh as others, 

 three or tbure Itanding together, about a foote long or better, among which rifeth vp a 

 greene Italke, not full fo high as the leaues, bearing one flower at the toppe thereof of 

 a reafonable bigneffe, but not fo great as the later kindes that follow are, confifling of 

 lix whitilh leaues, but not perfect white, hauing a (hew of a Creame colour appearing 

 in them ; in the middle is a long round yellow cup, about halfe an inch long or better. 

 The fmell of this flower is reafonable fweete, the roote is of a reafonable bignefle, yet 

 Idfer then the rootes of the later kindes. 



2. Narciffus pa Hi Jus oblongo calice Jlauo preecox. 

 The early Strawe coloured Daffodill with a long cup. 



The leaues of this Daffodill are as greene as the former, but much narrower; and 

 the leaues of the flower are more enclining to yellow, but yet very pale, as if it were a 

 light Itrawe colour, and feeme to bee a little more narrow and pointed then the for- 

 mer : the cup of this, is as long and yellow as the precedent. The fmell whereof is very 

 like the former, yet neither of them being fo fweete as thofe that follow. 



3. Narcijfus albus oblongo calice luteo ferotinus maior. 

 The great late flowring white Daffodill with a long cup. 



This later flowring Daffodill hath his leaues fomewhat narrow & long, of a grayifh 

 or whitifh greene colour, among which the ftalke rifeth vp a foote and a halfe high, 

 bearing one flower at the toppe, made of fix white leaues, hauing the cup in the mid- 

 dle thereof as long as the former, and of a deepe yellow : the edges of this cuppe are 

 fometimes plaine, and fometimes a little crumpled ; they are often alfo circled at the 

 brimmes with a Saffron colour, and often alfo without it, the fmell whereof is very 

 pleafant, and not heady : the roote hereof is reafonable bigge, and couered ouer ra- 

 ther with a pale then blackifh skinne. This flower doth fometimes alter his forme into 

 eight leaues, which being narrow and long, feeme like a white ftarre, compafling a 

 yellow trunke. 



4. Narciffus totus pallidus oblongo calice ferotinus minor. 

 The late pale coloured Daffodill with a long cup.

 colour, differing neither in leafe nor roote from the former. 



5. NarciJ/us pallidus oblongo calice Jlauo ferotinus. 

 The Strawe coloured late flowring Daffodill with a long yellow cup. 



The chiefe difference of this Daffodill from the former, confifteth in the colour of 

 the top of the flower, which is of a more yellow colour, and a little larger then the 

 former, and the brimmes or edges of the cup of a deeper yellow, or Saffron colour. 

 The fmell of this is no lefle fweete then in the former. 



6. NarciJ/us albus oblongo calice flauo ferotinus, duobus Jloribus in caule. 

 The late white Daffodill with a long cup, and two flowers on a ftalke. 



This Daffodill is furely a kinde of it felfe, although it be fo like the former, abiding 

 conftant in his forme and manner of flowring, vfually bearing without mifling two 

 flowers vpon a ftalke, very like vnto the former great white kinde, that one cannot 

 know any greater matter of difference betweene them, then that it beareth two flowers 

 on a Italke : the cuppes whereof are foldome touched with any fhew of Saffron colour 

 on them at the brimmes or edges, as fome of the former haue.
