ther hath nourfed vp, maketh the difference, as alfo that it is of 

 a faire deepe fcarlet colour. 



There are alfo diuers other Tawnies, either lighter or fadder, 

 either leffe or more double, that they cannot be numbered, and 

 all rifing (as I faid before) from lowing the feede of fome of 

 them : befides the diuerfities of other colours both fimple and 

 mixed, euery yeare and place yeelding fome variety was not feen 

 with them before : I fhall neede but onely to giue you the names 

 of fome of them we haue abiding with vs, I meane fuch as haue 

 receiued names, and leaue the reft to euery ones particular de- 

 nomination. 



Of Blufhes there are many forts, as the deepe blufh, the pale 

 blufh, the Infanta blufh, a blufh enclining to a red, a great blufh, 

 the faireft and moft double of all the other blufhes, and many 

 others both lingle and double. 



Of Reds likewife there are fome varieties, but not fo many as 

 of the other colours ; for they are moft dead or deepe reds, and 

 few of a bright red or ftamell colour ; and they are fingle like 

 Pinkes, either ftriped or fpeckled, or more double ftriped and 

 fpeckled variably, or elfe 



There are neither purple nor white that rife from this feede 

 that I haue obferued, except one white in one place. 



Silefiaaujtriatiis. The ftriped Tawny are either greater or leffer, deeper or light- 

 er flowers twenty forts and aboue, and all ftriped with fmaller or 

 larger ftripes, or equally diuided, of a deeper or lighter colour : 

 and fome alfo for the very fhape or forme will bee more neate, 

 clofe, and round ; others more loofe, vnequall, and fparfed. 



The marbled Tawny hath not fo many varieties as the ftriped, 

 but is of as great beauty and delight as it, or more : the flowers 

 are greater or fmaller, deeper or lighter coloured one then ano- 

 ther, and the veines or markes more confpicuous, or more fre- 

 quent in fome then in others : but the moft beautifull that euer I 

 did fee was with Mafter Ralph Truggie, which I muft needes 

 therefore call 



Mafter Tuggies Princefle, which is the greateft and faireft of 

 all thefe forts of variable tawnies, or feed flowers, being as large 

 fully as the Prince or Chryftall, or fomething greater, ftanding 

 comely and round, not loofe or fhaken, or breaking the pod as 

 fome other forts will ; the marking of the flower is in this man- 

 ner : It is of a ftamell colour, ftriped and marbled with white 

 ftripes and veines quite through euery leafe, which are as deeply 

 iagged as the Hulo : fometimes it hath more red then white, and 

 fometimes more white then red, and fometimes fo equally mar- 

 ked, that you cannot difcerne which hath the maftery ; yet which 

 of thefe hath the predominance, ftill the flower is very beauti- 

 full, and exceeding delightfome. 



The Flaked Tawny is another diuerfity of thefe variable or 

 mixt coloured flowers, being of a pale reddifh colour, flaked 

 with white, not alwaies downeright, but often thwart the leaues, 

 fome more or lefle then others ; the marking of them is much 

 like vnto the Chryftall : thefe alfo as well as others will be grea- 

 ter or fmaller, and of greater or lefle beauty then others. 



The Feathered Tawny is more rare to meete with then many 

 of the other ; for moft vfually it is a faire large flower and double, 

 equalling the Lumbard red in his perfection : the colour hereof 

 is vfually a fcarlet, little deeper or paler, moft curioufly feathe- 

 red and ftreamed with white through the whole leafe. 



The Speckled Tawny is of diuers forts, fome bigger, fome
