grow pretty flrong, able to abide thefnarpe Winter in their nonage, invfingfome 
little care to couer them loofely with fome fearne, or furfe, or beane frame, or ftraw, 
or any fuch, which yet mud not lye clofe vpon them, nor too farre from them neither. 
The next Spring after the lowing, if you will , but it is better if you ftay vntill Au- 
guft, you may then remoue them, and fet them in order byrowes, with fufficienr di- 
ltance one from another, where they may abide, vntill you fee what manner of flower 
each plant will beare, which you may dilpofc of according to your minde. 
Many of them being thus ordered (if your mould be fine, loofe, and frefh , not fto- 
nie, clayiflr , or from a middin) will beare flowers the fecondyeare after the lowing, 
and rood or all ofthem the third yeare, if the place where you fowe them , be not an- 
noyed with the fmoakc of Brewers, Dyers, or Maultkils, which if it be,then will they 
neuerthriuewell. 
Thus much haue I thought good to fetdowne, toincitefomeofourowneNatioa 
tobeinduflrious;andtohelpethem forward, hauegiuen fuch rules of dirc&ions, that 
I doubt not, but they will vpon the tryall and view of the variety, proceede as well in 
the lowing of Anemones as of Tulipas. 
I cannot (Gentlewomen) withhold one other fecret from you, which is to informe 
you how you may fo order Anemones, that after all others ordinarily are paft, you 
may haue them in flowerfortwo orthreemoncths longer then are to be feene with 
any ocher, that vfeth not this courfe I direct you. 
The ordinary time to plant Anemones, is mod commonly in Auguft, which will 
beare flower fome peraduenture before Winter, but mod viually in February, March, 
and A prjll, few or none of them abiding vntill May ; but ifyou willlceepc fome roots 
out of the ground vnplanted, vntill February, March, and Aprill, and plant fome at 
onetime, and fome at another, you (hall haue them beare flower according to their 
planting, thole that (hall be planted in February, will flower about the middle or end 
ofMay, and fo the red accordingly after that manner: Andtbus may you haue the 
pleafure of thefe plants out of their naturali feafons , which is not permitted to be en- 
joyed in any other rhat I know , Nature being not fo prone to bee furthered by art in 
ocher things as in this. Yet regard, that in keepingyour Anemone rcotes out of the 
ground for this purpofc, you neither keep them too dry, nor yet too moid, for fprou- 
ting or rotting ; and in planting them, that you fet them' Hot In too open a funny place, 
but where they may be fomewhac fhadowed. 
The Place. 
I fhall not need to fpend much time in relating the feueral 1 places of thefe 
Anemones, butonely to declare that the mod ofthem that haue not beene 
railed from feed, haue come from Condantinople to vs ; yet the fird broad 
leafed or yellow Anemone, was fird found in Portugall , and from thence 
brought into thefe parts. And the fird purple Starre Anemone in Germa- 
nie, yetwasthe fame fentamong others from Condantinople alfo. And 
the fird thin cut leafed Anemone came fird out of Italy , although many of 
thatfort hauecotne likewife from Condantinople. And fo haue the double 
red or Scarlet Anemones , and the great double blufh, which I fird had by 
the gift of M'.Humfrey Packington of Worcederfhire Efquire, at Haruing- 
ton. 
The Time. 
The times of their flowring are fulficiently exprelfed in the deferiptj- 
ons, or in the rules for planting. 
TheNames. 
The Turkifli names whereby the great double broad leafed kindeshaue 
beene lent vntovs, were Gial Cutamer , and Gial Cat amir Ule j And Bi- 
nizade, "Binizante , and Galifali UU for the thinne cut leafed Anemones. 
All Authors haue called theta Ancmtnes , and are the true Htrb* venti.
