trary part will not be loft, doe what one will. Larkes heeles, or fpurres, or toes, as in 
feuerall Countries they are called, exceed in the varietie of colours, both fingle and 
double, any of the former times ; for vntiil of late dayes none of the raoft pleafant co- 
lours were feene or heard of: but now the fingle kindes are reafonablewell difperft 
ouer the Land, yet the double kindes ofall thofe pleafant colours (and fome other alfo 
as bcautifull) which ftand like little double Rofes, are enioyed but of a few: all of 
them rife from feed, and muft be fowne euery y care , the double as well as the fingle. 
Panfyes or Hartes eafcs of diuers colours, and although without fent, yet not without 
fome refpedl and delight. Double Poppies are flowers of a great and goodly propor- 
tion , adorning a Garden with their variable colours to the delight of the beholders 
wherein there is fome fpeciall care to be taken, left they turnefingle 5 and that is.if you 
fee them grow vp too thicke, that you muft pull them vp, and not fuffer them to grow 
within lcfie than halfea yard diftance, or more one from another. Double Dailies are 
flowers not to be forgotten, although they be common enough in euery Garden be- 
ing both white and red, both blufli and fpeckled, or party coloured, befidesthac 
whichis called Iacke an Apes on horfebacke,they require a moift and fhadowie place- 
for they are fcorched away , if they ft and in the Sunne in any dry place. Double Ma- 
rigolds alfoarethemoft common inall Gardens. Andfoarethe French Marigolds

But whatflialllfaytotheQueeneof delight and of flowers, Carnations and Gillo- 
flo wers, whofe brauery, variety, and fweetc fmell ioyned together , tyeth euery ones 
affe&ion with great earneftnelfe , both to likeandtohanc them i Thofe that were 
knowne, and enioyed in former times with much acceptation, arc now for the moft 
part leffe accounted of, except a very few : for now there are fo many other varieties 
oflatcrinuention,thattroubleth the other both in number, beauty, and worth : The 
names of them doe differ very Variably, in that names are impofed and altered as eue- 
rie ones fancy will haue them, that carrycd or fent them into the feuerall Countries 
from London, where their trueft name is to be had, in mine opinion. I will here but 
giueyou the names offome, and referre you to the worke enfuing foryour further

amply declared them in the bookc following, Buttherc is another fort of great de- 
light and varietie, called the Orange tawny Gilloflower, which for the moft part hath 
rifen from feed , anddothgiuefeedinamoreplentifull manner than any of the for- 
mer Torts, and likewife by the fowing of the feed there hath been gained fo many va- 
rieties of that excellent worth and refpeff, that it can hardly be expreffed or beleeued 
andcalledbydiufcrsnamesaccordingto the marking of the flowers; as The Infama’ 
The Stript Tawny. The Speckled Tawny. The Flackt Tawny. The Grifeid Tawnyj 
and many others , euery one to bee diftinguiihed from others : Some alfo haue their 
flowers more double and large than others , and fome from the lame feed haue fingle 
flowers like broad fingle Pinkes : the further relation of them, «'«.their order to fo we 
encreafe, and preferue them, you (hall haue in the fubfequent difeourfe in a place by it 
felfe. Pinkes likewife both fingle and double are of much variety, allof them very 
fweete,commingneare the Gilloflowers. Sweete Williams andSweetelohns, both 
fingle and double, both white, red, and fpotted, as they are kindes of wilde Pinkes, fo 
for their grace and beauty helpc to furnifh a Garden , yet defire not to ftand fo open to 
the Sunne as the former. Double and fingle Peonies arc fit flowers to furnifh a Garden, 
and by reafon of their durability , giuc out frefh pleafure euery yeare without any fur- 
ther trouble of fowing. And laftly, Hollihocks both fingle and double, of many and 
fundry colours, yeeld out their flowers like Rofes on their tall branches, like Tree$,to 
fute you with flowers, when almoft you haue no other to grace out your Garden : the 
fingle and double doeboth yeeld feed, and yet doe after their feeding abide Ecny 
y cares. Thus haue I (hewed you moft of the Englifh, as well as (I did before! the O ur-
