The common white Daffodill called Primrofc Peerleffe. 
This Daffodill is fo common in euery Countrey Garden almofl through England 
that I doubt I fliall but fpend my time in vaine, to deferibe that which is fo well 
knowne, yet for their fakes that know it not, I will fet downc the defeription of it in 
this manner. It hath long limber and broad leaues , of a grayifh greene colour a- 
mong which rifeth vp a dalkc , bearing atthetoppeoutofaskinniehuske fometimes 
but one flower, but mod commonly two flowers, and feldome three or more but lar- 
ger for the mod part, then any that beare many flowers vpon a Aalke, of a pale whirifh 
Creame colour, tending fomewhat neare vnto the colour ofa pale Primrofe (which 
hath caufed our Countrey Gentlewomen , I thinke, to entitle it Primrofc Peerleffe) 
with a fmall round flat Crowne, rather then a cup in the middle, of a paleyellow co- 
lour, witlifomepalechiuesdandingtherein, being of a fweete , but fluffing few : the 
roote is rcafonable great, and cncreafing more then a better plant. 
Ntreijfut mediocroceus fentinm. The late flowring white Daffodill. 
ThisDaffodill hath muchfmaller leaues, andfhorter then the lad, thedalkealfo 
rifeth not fo high by much , and bcarcth but one flower thereon , ofa pure white co- 
lour, made of fix fmall leaues, and fomewhat narrow , ftandingfeuerally one from 
another, and not fo clofe together as the former, but appearing like a darre : the cup is 
fmall and round, ofa pale yellow colour, but faffrony about the brims , hauin° fix 
fmall pale chiues in the middle, the fmell whereof is much fweeter then in the former. 
The Place. 
Thefird is thoughtto grow naturally in England,but I couldneuer heare 
of his naturali place. I am fure it is plentiful] enough in all Country Gar- 
dens, fo that wee fcarce giue it place in our more curious parkes. Thefe- 
cond liueth onely with them that delight in varieties. 
The Time. 
Thefird Daffodill flowrethin the middle time, being neither of the 
carlied, nor of the lated ; but about the middle, or end of Aprill. Theo- 
ther flowreth with the dated in May. 
The Names. 
I (hall not neede to troubleyou with further repetitions ofnames they 
hauing been fet downe in their titles* which are proper to them.
