The lefler late flowring French DafFodill. 
This Daffodill is of the fame kinde with the lad defcribed,the onely difference is, 
that it is lefler, and the yellow cuppe in the middle of the flower, is fomewhat (horter 
then the former, although the former be (horter then many others, otherwise it diffe- 
reth not, no not in time ; for it flo wreth late as the former doth. 
The Place. 
Thefe Daffodils haue been brought vs from diuers places : The firft and 
fecond grow naturally in many places of Spaine, that are open to the Sea : 
they grow likewife about Mompelier,and thofe parts in France.T hey haue 
beenlikewife fentamong many other fortsof Daffodils from Conftantino- 
ple, fo that I may thinke,they grow in fome places neere thereunto. 
The fourth groweth plentifully in Italy , about Pifa in T ufcane , from 
whence we haue had plants to furnifh our Gardens. 
The feuenth is accounted beyond Sea to be naturali of our Country, but 
1 know not any with vs that haue it, but they haue had it from them. 
Thercft haue been brought at diuers times, but wee know no further of 
their natutall places. 
The Time. 
The firft flowreth earlier then any of the reft byamoneth, euen in the 
beginning of March, or earlier, if the weather be milde.The other in Aprill, 
fome a little before or after another. ThelatekindsflowernotvntillMay. 
The Names. 
There can be no more faid of the names ofany of them, then hath beene 
fet out i n their titles ; for they diftinguifh euery fort as fitly as we can : onely 
fome doe call the firft two lorts,by the name of Deitax Ntrbonenfis. 
After all thefe Daffodils, that hauing broad leaues beare (ingle flo wers, either one or 
many vpon a ftalke, I (hall now goe onto fet forth thofe broad leafed Daffodils, that 
carry double flowers, either one or many vpon a ftalke together , in the fame order 
that we haue vfed before. 
1 1 . Narc'tjjut tlbus multiflex. The double white Daflfodill. 
The leaues of this DafFodill are not Very broad, but rather of a meane fize, being of 
the fame largenefle with the leaues of the purple ringed DafFodill, the ftalke rifeth vp 
to be a foote and a halfe high, bearing out of a thinne white skinne or hofe, one flower 
and no more, confiding of many leaues , of a faire white colour , the flower is larger 
then any other double white Daffodill, hauing euery leafe, efpeeially the outermoft, 
as large almoft as any leafe of the Angle Daffodill with the yellow cup, or purple ring. 
Sometimes it happeneth, that the flower is very little double , and almoft (ingle , but 
that is either in a bad ground , or for that it hath ftood long in a place without remo- 
uing ; for then it hath (uch a great encreafe of rootes about it, that it drawetb a way in- 
to many parts, the nourifhmenr that (hould be for a few : but if you doe tranfplant it, 
taking away the of- fets, and fet his rootes (ingle, it will thenthriue, and beate his 
flower as goodly and doublets 1 haue before deferibed it : and is very fweete. 
2. Narcijfus mediepurpureus multiplex.’Xb.e double purple ringed Daffodill. 
There is little difference in the leaues of this kinde, from the leaues of the (ingle pur- 
pie
