TheNames. 
The fird is called Lxurtti fllueftris, and Laurus Tinus : in Englifli Wilde 
Bay , or Sweete flowring Bay. The fecond is called Laurus Rofea, Oleander , 
iVw»»»,and Rbodcdendros : in Englifli ThcRofeBay,and Oleander. The 
laft was fent by the name of Trcktztn Curmtji, that is to hyJMclylus irape- 
zuntinx, but not luuing any affinitie with any kinde of Date,Bellonius as I 
thinke fird named it Lxurocerafut, and Certfus Trepezuntinx. Dalechampius 
thinketh it to bee Lotus Aphricxnx, but Clufius refuteth it. Thofc ftoncs or 
kernels that were fent me out of Italie, came by the name of Laurus Regix, 
The Kings Bay. Wee may mod properly call it according to the Latine 
naraeinthetitle, ThcCherrybay, or Bay Cherry, becaufehis leauesare 
like vnto Bay-leaues, and both flowers and fruit like vnto the Birdes Cher- 
ry or duller Cherry, for the manner of the growing ■ and therfore 1 might 
more fitly I confefle haue placed it in my Orchard among the forts of 
Cherries : but the beautifulnelfe of the plant canfed mee rather to infert it 
here. 
TheVertues. 
The wilde Bay hath no propertie allotted vnto it in Phyficke, for that it 
is not to be endured, the berries being chewed declareit to be fo violent hoc 
and choking. The Rofe Bay is faid by Diofcorides, to be death to all foure 
footed beads, but contrariwife to man it is a remedie againdthe poifon of 
Serpents, but efpecially if Rue bee added vnto it. The Cherry Bay is not 
knowne with vs to what phyficke vfe it may be applyed.

T He beautifull (hew of thefe three forts of flowers, hath made me to infertthem 
into this garden, in that for their worthinelfe 1 amvnwilling tobeewithouc 
them, although the red of their kindes I haue transferred into the Orchard, 
where among other fruit trees, they Ihall be remembred : for all thefe here fet downe, 
feldomc or neuer beare any fruite, and therefore more fit for a Garden of flowers, 
then an Orchard of fruite.

The Rofe Cherry, or double blolfomd Cherry. 
The doublfblolfomed Cherry tree is of two forts for the flower, but not differing 
in any other part, from the ordinary Englifh or Flanders Cherry tree, growing in the 
very like manner : the difference confifleth in this, that the one of thefe two forts 
hath white flowers lelfe double, that is, of two rovves or moreofleaues, and the other 
more double, or with morerowesof leaues, andbefides I haue obferued in this grea- 
ter double blolfomd Cherry, that fomeyeares mod of the flowers haue had another 
fmailerand double flower, riling vp outof themiddleof theother, like asistobee 
feene in the double Englifli Crow-foote,and double redde Ranunculus or Crowfoote, 
before deferibed : this I fay doth not happen euery yearc, but fometimes. Sometimes 
alfo thefe trees will giue a few berries, here and there fcattered, and that with lelfe 
double flowers more often, which are like vnto our Englifli Cherries both for tade and 
bignelfe. Thefe bevery fit to be fet by Arbours.
