XVII. The fifteenth, or Narbone late-flowering, 
greater and Idler. The greater has its Root , as well 
as its Leaves , greater , larger , broader and. longer 
than any of the other former French, Narbone or Ita- 
lian kinds. The Stalk is as high as any of them , bear- 
ing at top five or fix white blowers, Jlanding open 
Jpread , like a Star , and riot clofe together , every one 
whereof is large , aW round-pointed. The Cup is yel- 
low , Jmall and Jhort , yet not lying flat to the blower , 
but a little Jlanding out , w/V/j Threads in the 
middle , ax a// the former Daflodils fottf. This is 
not fo fweet fronted as the earlier kinds be. The 
Idler differs not from the former , but only that it is 
every way leffer , aW /fo Cup in the middle of the 
blower is yet Jhort er than it. 
XVIII.' The Places. The firjl and fecond grow in 
Barb ary, about Algier and Fi?^, as fome, who have 
been in thole Parts, relate : the third grows in Tur- 
key, about Conjlantinople : the fourth and fifth have 
been brought to us from the Pyrenean Mountains, 
as alfo out of Italy : the fixlh and feventh grow in 
Spain, in the Southern Parts of brance, as alfo at 
Conflantinople : the eighth, ninth , tenth , twelfth, 
thirteenth and fifteenth grow in Prance, as about 
Montpelier : the eighth and ninth grow alfo natural- 
ly in many places in Spain , which are open to the 
Sea •, as alfo in Turkey : the tenth is a Native of 
Italy, growing about Rif a in Tufcany r the four- 
teenth is accounted in Foreign Nations, as a Native 
of England. However, being brought to us from 
their native Places, they are nurs’d up here by the 
curious Florift only in Gardens, where they flourifh 
well. 
XIX. The Times. The firfl, fecond and third, 
after they have been accuftomed to our Climate, 
llower very early, even with the firjl fort of Daffo- 
dils ■, but many times upon their hrlt bringing over, 
they flower in January or February, if the Seafoij is 
mild and warm, becaufe they are tender Plants, and 
foon perilh by being left abroad : the fourth and 
fifth Power in April : the fixth and feventh flower 
earlier in Turkey than the others ^ fo alfo after ac- 
cuflomed to our Air, where they flower in the end 
of March, or in April : the eighth flowers earlier 
than the reft by a Month, viz. in the beginning of 
March, or earlier, if the Weather is mild : the 
ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth flower 
in April, fome of them a little one before another : 
the fourteenth and fifteenth flower not till May.

and Virtues, are much the fame with thole in Chap. 
189. aforegoing, to which I referr you. 
CHAP. CXCI. 
Of DAFFODIL broad-lea v’d , 
double flowred. 
I a-|-i yy £ jf an2eS ' j s called in Greek, N«?x/ar©- 
JL ■zra. 7 vjv?.i<Q- mrict'xro 0 - . in Latin, A arc iff us 
lalifolius mult ip/ici fiore, ve/fiore pleno : in Englifh, 
Daffodil broad-leaved, double-flowred. 
II. 'The Kinds. There are fix feveral forts of 
this, vis. 1. A arciffus alb us multiplex. The double 
white Daffodil. 2. A arciffus medio purpure us mul- 
tiplex, The double purple-ring’d Daffodil. 3. Kar- 
el if us medio luteus corona duplici , The double 
Crown’d Turkey Daffodil. 4. Karciffus Chalcedo- 
nicus fiore pleno albo poly anthos. The double white 
Daffodil, with many Flowers. 5. Karciffus Chal- 
cedonicus fimbntus multiplex polyanthos , The great 
double many-flowred purple-ring'd Daffodil of Con- 
Itantinople. 6. Karciffus Cyprius fiore pleno luteo 
polyanthos , The many-flowred double yellow Daf- 
fodil of Cyprus. 
III. The Defcriptions. T hefirfl, or Double pur- 
ple-ring’d, from a bulbous Root has Leaves not very 
broad, but of a mean fize, of the fame Largenefs of 
the Purple-ring’d Daffodil following. The Stalk 
rifes up to half a yard high, bearing at top thereof 
one blower, and no more, confifling of many Leaves , 
of a fair white color : The blower is larger than of 
any other Double white Daffodil, having every Leaf, 
efpecially the outermofl, as large almofl as any Leaf 
of the Single Daffodil with the yellow Cup, or 
purple Ring. Sometimes the blower is very little 
double, and almofl Jingle, but then it is either in a 
bad Ground, or it has flood long in the place without 
removing •, for then it has fuch a great encreafe of 
Roots, that they draw away the Nourifhment, to the 
f polling of the blower : but if you tranfplant it, ta- 
king away the Off-fets , and Jet the Root Jingle, it 
will thrive, and bear a goodly double blower, and of 
a very fweet Smell. 
IV. The fecond, or Double purple-ring’d, from a 
bulbed Root has broad Leaves fpring up, little dif- 
fering from the Leaves of the Single purple-ring’d, 
it being probably of the fame Species. The Flower 
( being fometimes but one on a Stalk, and fometimes 
two) confifls of fix white outer Leaves, as large as 
the Leaves of the Single kind, having many Jmall 
yellow pieces, edged with purple Circles round about 
them, inflead of a Cup : and in the midfl of thefe 
pieces fland fix other white Leaves, lejfer than the 
former, and a yellovo Cup, edged alfo with a purple 
Circle, parted into pieces, and they comprehending a 
few other white Leaves, f mailer than any of the o- 
ther, having among them fome broken pieces of the 
Cup, with a few Chives in the middle of the Flower , 
which is of a very fweet Smell. 
V. The third, or Double-crown’d Turkey, has a 
Root like unto the laft, or fomewhat larger, from 
whence fpring forth three or four Leaves, as large 
and long almofl as the Great double white next fol- 
lowing •, the Stalk is alfo near as great, and full 
as high , bearing at the top four or five Flowers, 
whofe Leaves are as large as the Early Narbone or 
Common French, (in cap. 190. fe£f. 10, it.) but not 
full out of fo pure a white color : they are fix in 
1 number, and fland like the former French Daffodils 
now named, but that the yellow Cup in the middle of 
this is thick and double, or as it were crumpled toge- 
ther, not jlanding very high to be feen, but keeping 
low and Jhort • fo that it is not prefently taken notice 
of, unlefs prectfely lookt upon. This Flower is of an 
exceeding fweet Smell. 
VI. The fourth, or Double white many-flowred, 
has a Root great and thick , covered with a b/ackifh 
Skin , which fends forth many very broad and very 
long Leaves, more green than grey • among which 
rifes up a flrong round Stalk, being fomet imes almofl 
flat and ribbed, bearing four or five, or more, white 
Flowers at the top, every one being very great, large 
and double, the Leaves being conjufedly Jet together, 
having little pieces of a yellow Cup running among 
them, without any fbew of that purple Ring which is 
in the former-, thefe fall away without bearing Seed, 
even as all or mofl other double blowers do. It is a 
beautiful and goodly blower, defir able for its Beauty 
and Duplicity, as alfo fir its exceeding fweet and 
flrong Smell -, one Stalk if blowers being inflead of a 
Kofegay. 
VII. The fifth, or Great double purple-ring’d, dif- 
fers little or nothing in Root or Leaf from the for- 
mer } the only difference is in the Flowers, wbfch, 
tho'
