fome new varieties, thofe of the Nomparel, the great Spanijh yellow, 
- he Spanifh whites; the gteat Funquilia, and the baftard kind, are 
the apteft to bring good feeds, and the likelieft to Bes diverfities; 
they may be fowed in September, and not removed of three years, 
and then ia Fwne taken up, and prefently fet again in good ground 
at wider diftances, where they may ftand until you may fee what 
flowers they will bear, and then difpofed as they thall deferve, 
The feedsof the Sea Daffedill muft be fowed very thin by it felf. 
and not removed for the {pace of ten years, about which time it will 
bear flowers, and when you take it up, the Fibres, which it ftill hold- 
eth, muft be kept whole, and the root prefently fet again, where ic 
may ftand without removing: all the Indian Daffodils are of the fame 
nature, but much more tender. If the feeds were obtained, perhaps 
they might be the produéts to plants more durable, being naturali- 
zed and bred upin our own Countrey, but fo long expectation re- 
quireth much patienge, though little pains in planting, only fowing 
them in boxes, letting chem not freez in Winter, nor want water in

Having now done with the Daffodils, wee will conclude this Chap-

flat and fhort leaves, with anaked green ftalk, at the top whereof 
out of a thin skin cometh forth one, and fometimes two fmall white 
flowers, hanging down the heads, confifting of fix fhort leaves, ftand- 
ing round together, with fmall fharp points, of a ‘pale greenifh

Lucoium bulbefum precox minus. 
To leffer early Bulbows Violet cometh up with two narrow gray- 
'& ifhgreen leaves, with a fmall ftalk betwixt them, bearing one 
{mall pendulous flower, with three {mall pointed white leaves, on 
the out fide, with three fhorter within them, ftanding round like a 
cup, edged with green : this is that common kind vulgarly called the 
- Snow-flower, 
Lucoium majus bulbofum ferotinum. 
He great late-flowring bulbous Violet, isin all the parts thereof 
very like unto the firft, but much bigger, ir beareth upon a
