full as long, and fpringfooncr out of the ground, yctnotfoearlyasthefirftof thefe 
kindest the ftalke hereof is flatter, and rifeth higher , bearing foute orfiue flowers, 
much larger then any of this kinde ; for eucry one of them doth equall the Englifh 
Daffodill, before deferibed, but whiter then it, and the yellow cup larger, and more 
open then in any of the reft. Therootcofthisisnotfogrear,or round, as theforracr, 
but is more plentiful! in of-fets, then any other of thefe French, or Italian kindes. 
This Italian Daffodill hath hisleauesas large, or larger then the fecond French 
Daffodill, and his ftalke fomewhat higher, bearing many white flowers, very like vn- 
to the common French Daffodill, but fomewhat larger alfo ; and the yellow cup ir. the 
middle like wife is larger, and rounder, then is vfually feen in any of the French kinds, 
except the laft with the greateft flowers. 
This French Daffodill hathdiuersleauesof a grayifh greene colour, not fo broad 
or long as the laft recited Daffodill, butcemming neerer vnto the fccond French 
kinde, the flowers likewife are white, and many vpon a ftalke , like thereunto, but the

The affinity between this & the laft, (for it is not the fame to be expreffed vnder one 
title) hath made me ioyne it next vnto it, yetbecaufe it hath a notable difference, it 
deferueth a place by himfelfe. The leaues are large and long, and the flowers, being 
white, are larger alfo then in any other, except the greateft, but the cup hereof is fmall 
and (horr, rather feeming a coronet then a cup, of a deepe Saffron colour allabout the 
brimmes or edges. 
This Daffodill hath his leaues not much broader or longer, then the French kinde 
with great flowers, before deferibed, the ftalke with flowers rifeth not fully fo high as 
it, bearing many flowers thereon, not altogether fo white, yet whiter then the former 
Englifh Daffodill , called Primrofe Peerleffe, but nothing fo large, and with fhort, 
broad, and almoft round leaues, (landing clofe one vnto another : the yellow cup in 
the fniddle is bowle fafhion, being fomewhat deeper then in any of the former kinds, 
but not much greater : the fmell hereof is very lweeteandpleafant. 
The rooteas well as the leaues ofthis Daffodill, are greater, larger, broader, and 
longer then in any other of the Former French , or Italian kindes ; the ftalke is as high 
as any ofthem, bearingat thetoppefiueorfixewhiteflowers, (landing open fpread 
like a ftarre, and not clofe together, euety one whereof is large, and round pointed,
