1. Keiri /iuc Leucoium luteum Jimf>lc.\ vulgare. Common fingle Wall-flowers. 



The common lingle Wall-flower which groweth wilde abroad, and yet is brought 

 into Gardens, hath fundry fmall, narrow, long, and darke greene leaues, let with- 

 out order vpon fmall round whitifh wooddy ftalkes, which bearc at the tops diuers 

 lingle yellow flowers one aboue another, euery one hauing foure leaues a peece, and of 

 a very fweete fent : after which come long pods, containing rcddifh fecdc : the roote 

 is white, hard and thready. 



2. Keiri Jiue Leucoium lute urn /implex maius. The great fingle Wall- flower. 



There is another fort of fingle Wall-flower, whofe leaues as well as flowers are 

 much larger then the former : the leaues being of a darker and fhining greene colour, 

 and the flowers of a very deepe gold yellow colour, and vfually broader then a twen- 

 tie Ihilling peece of gold can couer : the fpike or toppe of flowers alfo much longer, 

 and abiding longer in flower, and much fweeter likewife in fent : the pods for feede 

 are thicker and fhorter, with a fmall point at the end : this is flower to encreafe into 

 branches, as alfo to be encreafed by the branches, and more tender to be preferued ; 

 for the hard frofts doe caufe it to perifh, if it be not defended from them. 



3. Keiri fimplex fiore albo. White Wall-flower. 



This Wall-flower hath his leaues as greene as the great kinde, but nothing fo large : 

 the flowers ftand at the toppe, but not in fo long a fpike, and confifteth of foure leaues, 

 of a very white colour, not much larger then the common kinde, and of a faint or 

 weaker fent : the pods are nothing fo great as the former great one : this is more eafie 

 to be propagated and encreafed alfo, but yet will require fome care in defending it 

 from the colds of the Winter. 



4. Keiri Jiue Leucoium luteum vu/gare flore pleno. Common double Wall-flowers. 



This ordinary double Wall-flower is in leaues and ftalke very like vnto the firft fin- 

 gle kinde, but that the leaues hereof are not of fo deepe a greene colour : the flowers 

 ftand at the top of the ftalkes one aboue another, as it were a long fpike, which flower 

 by degrees, the loweft firft, and fo vpwards, by which it is a long time in flowring, and 

 is very double, of a gold yellow colour, and very fweete. 



5. Keiri Jiue Leucoium luteum alter um fiore pleno. Pale double Wall-flowers. 



Wee haue another fort of this kinde of double Wall-flower, whofe double flow- 

 ers ftand not fpike-fafhion as the former, but more open fpread. and doe all of them 

 blowe open at one time almoft, and not by degrees as the other doth, and is of a paler 

 yellow colour, not differing in any thing elfe, except that the greene leaues hereof are 

 of a little paler greene then it. 



6. Keiri Jiue Leucoium luteum maius fiore pleno ferrug into. 

 Double red Wall-flowers. 



We haue alfo another fort of double Wall-flower, whofe leaues are as greene, and 

 almoft as large as the great fingle yellow kinde, or full as bigge as the leaues of the 

 white Wall-flower : the flowers hereof are not much larger then the ordinary, but are 

 of a darker yellow colour then the great fingle kinde, and of a more brownifh or red 

 colour on the vnderfide of the leaues, and is as it were ftriped. 



7. Keiri ftue Leucoium maximum luteum fiore pleno.
