The Place. 
All thefe Bell-flowers do grow in our Gardens, where they are cheriflied 
for the beautieof their flowers. The Couentry Bels doe not grow Wilde in 
any of the parts about Couentry, as I am credibly informed by a faithfull 
Apothecary dwelling there, called Mafler Brian Ball, but are nourfed in 
Gardens with them, as they are in other places.The laftgroweth neerethe 
riuer of Canada, where the French plantation in America is feated. 
The Time. 
They flower fro m May vntill the end of Iu!y or Auguft, and in the mean 
time the feed is ripe : But the Peache leafed Bell- flowers, for the mod parr, 
flower earlier then the other. 
The Names. 
The firft is generally called Campanula PeryW/i//i,m Englifli Peach-leafed 
Bell-flower. The fecond is called Campanula maior, Campanula lacltjccns Pj~ 
ramidala,3X\d Pyramidalis LutttUna of Lobcl, in Englifli, Great or Steeple 
Bell-flower. The third is vfually called TiolaMariana, and of fom tftoU 
Marina. Lobel putteth a doubt whether it be not Medium of Diofcorides, 
asMatthiolus and others doe thinke ; but in my opinion the thickneffe of 
the roote, as the text hath it, contradi&erh all the reft. We call it generally 
in Englifli Couentry Bels. Some call it Marian, and fome Mercuries Violets. 
The fourth and fifeare called Trachelium otCeruicaria, of Come f'vu/aria, 
becaufemany haue vfed it to good purpofe, for the paines of the Ttmla, or 
Throate : Yet there is another plant, called alfo by fom zTvularia, which 
is Hipptgltjfum , Horfe tongue, or Double tongue. The fixt hath his title to 
defeipher it out fuffidently, as is declared. The feuenth is called Tracheitum 
minus, and Ctruiaria minor, of fome Saponaria alter a ; in Englifli, Small 
Throateworre, or Small Canterbury Bels. The laft hath his name in the ti- 
tle, as it is called in France, from whence I receiued plants for my Garden 
withthe Latine name : but I haue giuen it in Englifli. 
The Vertues. 
The Peach-Bels as well as the others may fafely bee vfed in gargles and 
lotions forthemouth, throate, or other parts, asoccafion ferueth. The 
rootes of many of them, while they areyoung, are often eaten in fallcts 
by diuers beyond the Seas.

Campana Carulca fwt Convolvulus Caruleut. 
Blew Bell flowers,or blew Bindeweede. 
T Here are two other kindes of Bell-flowers, much differing from the Tribe 
or Familic of the former, becaufe of their climbing or winding qualitie, 
which I muft needes place «ext them, for the likeneffeof the flowers, al- 
though otherwife they might haue beene placed with the other clamberers that 
follow. Of thefe there is a greater, and a lefler, and of each likewifefoinc difference, 
sis fhall be declared.
