'■/ he (jar den of pleajant Flowers. 
here write is mare vpon relation (which yet I beleeueto be molt true) then vpon fight 
and (peculation. The leaues of this Wall- flower are as greene and as large, if not lar- 
ger then the great fingle kinde : the flowers alfo arc of the fame deepe gold yellow 
colour with it, but much larger then any of the former double kindes, and of as fweet 
a fenc as any, which addeth delight vnto beauty. 
The Place. 
The firft fingle kind is often found growing vpon old wals of Churches, 
and other houfes in many places of England , and alfo among rubbilh and 
ftones. The fingle w hiteand great yellow, as well as all the other double 
kindes, are nourfcd vp in Gardens onely with vs. 
The Time. 
All the fingle kindes doe flower many times intheendof Autumne, and 
if the Winter be milde all the Winter long , but efpecially inthemoneths 
of February, March, and April!, and vntill the heatcofthe Spring doe 
fpend them : but the other double kindes doe not continue flowring in that 
manner the yeare throughout,although very early fometimes,and very late 
alfo in fomc places. 
The Names. 
They are called by diners names, as yield luted , Leucoium luteum , and 
KcirijOt cheiri, by which name it is chiefly knowne in our Apothecaries 
ihops , becaufe there is an oy le made thereof called cheinnum : In Englifh 
they arc vfually called in thefe parts, Wall- flowers: Others doe call them 
Bee-flowers ; others Wall-Gilloflowers, Winter- Gilloflowers, and yel- 
low Srocke-Gilloflowers j but we haue a kinde of Stocke-Gilloflower that 
more fitly deferucth that name,as ihall be fhewed in the Chapter following 
The Vertues. 
The fwectnefTe ofthe flowers caufeth them to be generally vfed in Nofe- 
gayes, and to deckevp houfes; but phyfically they are vfed in diuers man- 
ners: As a Conferue made of, the flowers, is vfed for a remedy both for 
the Appoplexicand Palfie. The diftilled water helpeth well in the like 
manner. Thcoylemadeof the flowers is heating and refoluing, good to 
cafe paines of drained and pained finewes.

T Here are very many forts of Stocke- Gilloflowers both fingle and double, fome 
of the fields and mountaines, others of the Sea marfhesandmedowesjand 
fome nourfcd vp in Gardens, and there preferued by feedeorflippe, as each 
kinde isapteftto beeordered. But becaufe fome of thefe are fitter for a generali Hi- 
fiorythen forthis our Garden ofPleafure, bothforthat diuers haue no good fent, 
others little or no beauty , and to be entreated of onely for the variety , I (hall fpare fo 
many of them as are not fit for this worke, and onely fet downe the reft.
