Ma/us Jtore multiplied The double bloflbmd Apple tree. 



This double bloflbmd Apple tree is altogether like vnto our ordinary Pippin tree 

 in body, branch and leafe, the only difference is in the flower, which is altogether whi- 

 tifh, fauing that the inner leaues towards the middle are more reddifh, but as double 

 and thicke as our double Damaske Rofes, which fall away without bearing fruit. 



Ma/us Perfica Jiore multiplici. The double bloflbmd Peach tree. 



This Peach tree for the manner of growing, is fo like vnto an ordinary Peach tree, 

 that vntill you fee it in bloflbme you can perceiue no difference : the flower is of the 

 fame colour with the bloflbmes of the Peach, but confirming of three or foure, or 

 more rowes of leaues, which fall often away likewife without bearing any fruite ; but 

 after it hath abiden fome yeares in a place doth forme into fruite, efpecially being 

 planted againft a wall. 



The Place.

 for their pleafant flowers. The Apple is as yet a ftranger. And the Peach 

 hath not been feen or knowne, long before the writing hereof. 



The Time. 

 They all flower in April & May, which are the times of their other kinds. 



The Names. 

 Their names are alfo fufficiently exprefled to know them by. 



The Vertues. 



Cherries, Peaches and Apples, are recorded in our Orchard, and there 

 you mall finde the properties of their fruit : for in that thefe beare none or 

 very few, their bloflbmes are of mofl vfe to grace and decke the perfons of 

 thofe that will weare or beare them.

Periclymenum perfoliatum fine Italicum. The double Honifuckle. 



The truncke or body of the double Honifuckle, is oftentimes of the bignefle of a
