IO2 The Garden of pleafant Flowers. 



But there is another of this kinde like vnto the former, whofe further defcription 

 you haue here before ; the wings of which flower are much more white then the for- 

 mer, and in a manner of a milke white colour, the trunke remaining almoft as yellow 

 as the former, and not differing in any thing elfe. 



Pfeudonarcijjiis tubo fexangulari. The fix cornered baftard Daffodill. 



This kinde of Daffodill hath two or three long, and fomewhat broader leaues then 

 the laft, between which commeth forth a ftalke, bearing one flower fomewhat large, 

 hauing the fix outer leaues of a pale yellow colour, and the long trunke plaited or cor- 

 nered all along vnto the very edge into fix parts, of a little deeper yellow then the 

 wings. 



The Place. 



The firft great Spanifh kinde was brought out of Spaine. The reft from 

 the Pyrenaean Mountaines, onely the laft fauing one is plentifull in our 

 owne Countrey, but the white fort of that kinde came with the reft from 

 the fame Mountaines. 



The Time. 



The pale or third kinde, and the Englifh bee the moft early, all the reft 

 flower in Aprill, and the greateft yellow fomewhat earlier, then the other 

 greater or leffer white. 



The Names. 



Their feuerall names are exprefled in their titles fufficient to diftinguifh 

 them, and therefore there needeth no more to be faid of them. 



i._ Pfeudonarcifjus aureus maximus flore pleno,jiue Rqfeus Tradefcanti. 



The greateft double yellow baftard Daffodill, or 



lohn Tradefcant his great Rofe Daffodill. 



This Prince of Daffodils (belongeth primarily to lohn Tradefcant, as the firft foun- 

 der thereof, that we know, and may well bee entituled the Glory of Daffodils) hath a 

 great round roote, like vnto other Daffodils, couered with a brownifh outer skinne or 

 peeling, from whence rifeth vp foure or fiue fomewhat large and broad leaues, of a 

 grayifti greene colour, yet not fully fo long and large as the next following Daffodill : 

 from the middle whereof rifeth vp a ftalke almoft as high and great as it, bearing at 

 the toppe (out of a skinnie huske) one faire large great flower (the budde, before it 

 breake open, being fhorter and thicker in the middle, and ending in a longer and (har- 

 per point then any of the other Daffodils) very much fpread open, confifting of fmal- 

 ler and fhorter leaues then the next, but more in number, and thicker and rounder fet 

 together, making it feeme as great and double as any Prouince Rofe, and intermixt 

 with diuers yellow and pale leaues, as it were on rowes one vnder another. It abideth 

 long in flower, and fpreadeth, by ftanding long, to be the broadeft in compaffe of any 

 of the Daffodils, but falleth away at the laft without giuing any feede, as all double 

 Daffodils doe. 



2. Pfeudonarciffus aureus Anglicm maximus. M'. Wilmers great double Daffodill. 



The other great double Daffodill doth fo neare refemble our ordinary English 

 double kinde, that I doe not finde therein any greater difference, then the largenefTe 

 both of leaues and flowers, &c. and the ftatelinefle of growth. It beareth three or 

 foure large, long, and broad leaues, fomewhat longer and broader then the former, 

 and of a whitifh greene colour : the ftalke rifeth to bee two foote high, growing (in a 

 fruitfull and fat foyle) ftrong, and fomewhat round, bearing at the toppe, out of a thin 

 skinne, one great and faire double flower, each leafe whereof is twice as large and 



broad
