kindes, and efpecially this that hath a deepe red crimfon coloured flower, doe endure 

 the cold of our winters, and with lefle care is preferued: thefe forts as well as the 

 former doe very feldome giue any feede, as far as I could euer obferue or learne. 



3. Caryophyllus Silejiacus Jiore pleno miniato. 

 The yellow or Orenge tawny Gilloflower. 



This Gilloflower hath his ftalkes next vnto the ground, thicker fet, and with fmaller 

 or narrower leaues then the former for the moft part : the flowers are like vnto the 

 Cloue Gilloflowers, and about the fame bignefle and doublenefle moft vfually, yet 

 in fome much greater then in others ; but of a pale yellowifh Carnation colour, ten- 

 ding to an Orenge, with two fmall white threds, crooked at the ends in the middle, 

 yet fome haue none, of a weaker fent then the Cloue Gilloflower : this kinde is more 

 apt to beare feede then any other, which is fmall, black, flat, and long, and being fowen, 

 yeelde wonderfull varieties both of fingle and double flowers : fome being of a ligh- 

 ter or deeper colour then the mother plants : fome with ftripes in moft of the leaues : 

 Others are ftriped or fpotted, like a fpeckled Carnation or Gilloflower, in diuers forts, 

 both fingle and double : Some againe are wholly of the fame colour, like the mother 

 plant, and are eyther more or leffe double then it, or elfe are fingle with one row of 

 leaues, like vnto a Pinck; and fome of thefe likewife eyther wholly of a crimfon red, 

 deeper or lighter, or variably fpotted, double or fingle as a Pinck, or blufh eyther 

 fingle or double, and but very feldome white : yet all of them in their greene leaues 

 little or nothing varying or differing. 



Caryophylli maximi. 



CARNATIONS. 



Caryophyllus maximus diflus 

 Hulo rubro-varius. 



Caryophyllus maximus rliftus 

 Hulo ruber non variatus. 



Caryophyllus maximus diftus 

 Hulo cteruleo purpureus. 



Caryophyllus maximus diflm 

 Grimelo fine Priticeps. 



Caryophyllus maximus Incar- 

 nadinus albus. 



Caryophyllus maximus law- 

 nadinus Gallicus. 



Caryophyllus maximus Incar- 

 nadinus grandis. 



r I "He gray Hulo hath as large leaues as the former old Car- 

 nation, and as deepely iagged on the edges : it hath a 

 great high ftalke, whereon ftand the flowers, of a deepe 

 red colour, ftriped and fpeckled very clofe together with a 

 darkifh white colour. 



The red Hulo is alfo a faire great flower, of a ftamell colour, 

 deeply iagged as the former, and groweth very comely without 

 any fpot at all in it, fo that it feemeth to bee but a ftamell Gillo- 

 flower, faue that it is much greater. 



The blew Hulo is a goodly faire flower, being of a faire pur- 

 plifh murrey colour, curioufly marbled with white, but fo fmal- 

 ly to be difcerned, that it feemeth only purple, it hath fo much 

 the Maftrie in it ; it refembleth the Braflill, but that it is much 

 bigger. 



The Grimelo or Prince is a faire flower alfo, as large as any 

 Chryftall or larger, being of a faire crimfon colour, equally for 

 the moft part ftriped with white, or rather more white then red, 

 thorough euery leafe from the bottome, and ftandeth comely. 



The white Carnation or Delicate, is a goodly delightfull fair 

 flower in his pride and perfection, that is, when it is both mar- 

 bled and flaked, or ftriped and fpeckled with white vpon an in- 

 carnate crimfon colour, beeing a very comely flower, but abi- 

 deth not conftant, changing oftentimes to haue no flakes or 

 ftrakes of white, but marbled or fpeckled wholly. 



The French Carnation is very like vnto the white Carnation, 

 but that it hath more fpecks, and fewer ftripes or flakes of white 

 in the red, which hath the maftrie of the white. 



The ground Carnation (if it be not the fame with the graund 

 or great old Carnation firft fet downe, as the alteration but of 

 one letter giueth the coniedure) is a thicke flower, but fpreadeth
