J . Leucoij alterum genue, flore tum multiplici quam flmplicicxfeminio oriundum. 
Another fort of Stocke gilloflowers bearing as ivell double 
as Angle flowers from feede. 
Thiskindeof Stocke gilloflower differeth neytherinformeof leaues, ftalkes, nor 
flowers from the former, but that it oftentimes groweth much larger and taller ; fo that 
whofoeuer Hull fee both thefe growing togetlier, fhall fcarce difeerne the difference 
onely it beareth flowers, eyther white, red or purp!e,wholIy or entire, that is, of one 
colour, without mixture of other colour in them (for fo much as euer I haue obferued 
or could vnderfland by others) which are eyther Angle, like vnto the former, or very 
rhicke and double, like vnto the next that followeth -, but larger, and growing with 
more ftore of flowers on the long (hike. But this yoh muff vnderfland withall, that 
thofe plants that beare double flowers, doe beare no feede at all, and is very feldome 
cncrcafed by flipping or cutting, as the next kindeof double is : but the onely way to 
haue double flowers anyyeare, (for this kindedyetheuery winter, for the moft parr, 
after it hath borne flowers, and feldome is preferued) is to faue the feedes of thofe 
plants of this kinde that beare Angle flowers, for from that feede will rife, fomethac 
will beare Angle, and fome double flowers, which cannot bee diftinguiflied one from 
another, I meane which will be Angle and which double, vntill you fee them in flower, 
or buddc at the leaft. And this is the only way to preferue this kinde : but of the feed 
of the former kinde was neuer known any double flowers to arife, and therefore you 
malt be carefull to marke this kinde from the former* 
6. Leucoium fine pleno diner forum colorum. 
Double Stocke Gillowflowcrs of diuers colours. 
This other kinde of Stock gilloflower that beareth onely double flowers, groweth 
not fo great, nor fpreadeth his branches fo farre, nor arc his leaues fo large, but is in 
all things fmaller, and lower, and yet is woody, or flirubby, like the former, bea- 
ring his flowers in the like manner, many vpon a long ftalke, one aboue another, and 
very double, but not fo large as the former double, although it grow infertile foyle, 
which are eyther white, or red, or purple wholly, without any mixture, or elfc mixed 
with fpots and flripes, as the Angle flowers of the Arft kinde, but more variably, and 
jrfnot in all places alike, neuer bearing feede, but muft be encreafed, only by the cutting 
of theyoungfprouresorbranches,takeninafltfeafon : this kinde periflieth not, as 
rhe former double kinde doth, fo as it bee defended in thewinter from the extreamc 
froftSjbut efpecially from the fnow falling, or at the leaft remaining vpon it. 
7 . Leucoium faliuum luteum fore pleno. 
The doubleyellow Stocke Gilloflower. 
This double yellow Stock gilloflower is a ftranger in England, as far as I can learne, 
neytherhaue I any further familiaritie with him, then by relation from Germany, 
where it is affirmed to grow onlyinlomeof their gardens, that are curious louers of 
thefe delights, bearing long leaues fomewhat hoary or white, (and not greene like 
vnto the Wallflower, whereunto elfe it might be thought to be referred) like vnto the 
Stock gilloflowers, as the ftalkes and branches alfo are, and bearing fairc double 
flowers, of a faire, but pale yellow colour. The whole plant is tender, asthedouble 
Stock gilloflowers arc, and muft be carefully preferued in the winter from the coldes, 
or rather more then the laft double, left it perilh.
