III. The Delcripdons. The firft , 0/* Common 
Englifh, lu 4 a Root which is bulbous and. fomewhat 
blackifh on the out fide -, from whence fpring forth 
three or four grcyifh green Leaves, long and fome- 
what narrow $ among which rift’s up the Stalk , about 
a J pan or fomewhat more high, bearing at the top, out 
oj a skinny Husk, ( tu all other Daffodils have) one 
flower, and feme times two, fomething large, having 
the fix Leaves which ft and like Wings of a pale yel- 
low color, and the long Trunk in the middle of a fair 
yellow, with the edges or brims a little crumpled or 
uneven. After the Flower is pa ft, it bears a round 
Head. J coming three-fquare, containing round black 
Seed.' 
IV. The fecond, or Our common Englifh white, 
is in Root, L.eaves and Stalk, like to the other in al- 
moj } all refpctls : but the Wings of its Flower are 
much more white than the former, and in a manner 
of a Milk-white color, the Trunk remaining almof 
iu yellow cis that in the aforegoing , but not differing 
in any thing elfe. 
V. The third , or Six-cornered, has a Root like to 
the others, from whence fpring two or three long and 
fomewhat broader Leaves than in the two aforegoing ■, 
between which comes forth a Stalk, bearing one Flow- 
er, fomewhat large, having the fix outward Leaves 
of a pale yellow color, and the long Trunk plaited or 
cornered all along, unto the very edge, into fix parts, 
of a little deeper yellow than the Wings. 
VI. The fourth, or Great yellow Spanifh, has a 
rcafonable great Root , and blackifh on the out fide, 
prefjing deep into the Ground, and therefore will run 
down, where it will encreafe into many Ojffets from 
whence rife up many thick , long and Jiff Leaves, oj 
a grcyifh green color •, among which rifes up a round 
firong Stalk, feme times a yard high or higher , bear- 
ing at the top one only fair large yellow Flower, 
fland)ng forth right, ana not pendulous, confifting of 
fix jhort and Jomewhat broad Leaves, with a very 
great, large and long Trunk, of an equal Bigncjs, 
but open at the Mouth , and turning up the brims a 
little, which are fomething crumpled. When the 
Flower Is pafl, there comes in the place a three-fquare 
Head, containing round black Seed, like to other 
Daffodils. 
VII. The ffth, or Mountain Baftard, of divers 
kinds ^ they have all of them a bulbous Root, which is 
blackifh. on the outfde : but of this there are feveral 
forts, as, 1 . One which has very broad and whitifh 
green Leaves, fomething Jhort in Comparifon with 0- 
thers of that breadth : the Flower is wholly yellow, 
but a little paler than the former Spanifh kind, ha- 
ving the Leaves of its Flower long and a little nar- 
row , funding like Wings about the middle of the 
Trunk, which is as long as the Leaves, and f mailer 
than in many others of this kind, but a little yellower 
than the Wings. 2. One which has narrower green 
Leaves than the former, and longer -, the Flower is 
all yellow, but the Trunk is larger, wider and more 
open at the Mouth than the other, and almof as large 
as the former Spanifh , but not fo high as the laft. 
3. One which has the Wings of the Flower, of a St raw 
color, but the Trunk is long and narrow, of a fair 
yellow. 4. One which has fuch like Flowers, but 
that it is Jhort er, both in the Wings and the Trunk. 
5. Another which has the Wings of the Flower longer 
than the long Trunk, and fometi tries Jhort er. 6 . A- 
nothcr which has its Wings all yellow, or only a little 
■more pale or white, like to the Englifh kind. 7. 0 - 
thers which have their Trunks long and narrow, or 
larger, and wider open, and crumpled at the 
brims. 
VIII. The fixth, or Early Straw-colored, from a 
bulbous Root, hits Leaves rifing up, of a mean fze, 
between the hr cade ft and narrower kinds, of a grey if: 
green color, and not very long : the Stalk rifes up a 
foot high or more, on the top of which grows one large 
fair Flower , equalling the large ft Spanifh Ballard 
Daffodil, before dej bribed, in the Large nefs of its 
Trunk, and having thf brims turned up a little, 
which makes it feem the larger. The Wings or out - 
ward Leaves are in a manner as fort as they are in 
the great eft Spanifh kind, ( and not long flagging 
down, like unto /fe Mountain kinds) and fiand 
ftraigbt outright. All the whole Flower is of one e~ 
ven color, viz. of a fine pale yellow, not much unlike 
to the color of a frefh Limon Feel, but a little whiter, 
which we commonly call a Straw-color. It is a large 
Flower, and early in the Spring. 
IX. The feventh, or Greater white Spanifh, has 
a Root greater and thicker than the Jirfl Spanifh at 
feft. 6 . above, but does not encreafe fo much, nor is 
covered with a black , but rather with a whitifh Skin. 
From this Root divers Leaves rife up together, long 
and broad, fomewhat like to the fir ft Spanifh kind at 
left. 6 . but a little broader, and of a whiter green 
color, yet not fo white as in the Leffer Spanifh white 
kinds, after deferibed. From among thefe Leaves 
rifes up a round frong Stalk, about two feet high, 
bearing at its top one white Flower , bending down 
the Head, as all thefe White kinds do, but is not of 
fo pure a white as the Leffer kinds which follow, yet 
whiter than the Greateft white Spanifh kind, next to 
be deferibed in feft. 7 o. The whole Flower, as well 
Trunk as Wings, is much larger than the Leffer 
white kinds, and almof equalling the firft Spanifh 
yellow, but a little longer and narrower , a little 
crumpled, and turning up at the brims ■, after which, 
there follows a Head and Seed, like to the firft. 
X. The eighth, or Greateft Spanifh white, has a 
Root like to the former, but greater, being white on 
the outfide, and not black. In the manner of its 
Growing, it is very like to the laf , both in its Leaves 
and Flowers, but larger in both. The Flower of this 
is not full out fo white, but has fame fhew of Fa/e - 
nefs therein, and more upon the firft opening of the 
Flower than afterwards , and is as great altogether as 
the Spanifh yellow, at the leaf with a longer and 
fomewhat narrower Trunk, after which come Heads 
of Seed, like the former. 
XI. The ninth, or Leffer and mean white Spanifh, 
are two other, one leffer than another, and both lef- 
fer than the two former White Spanifh Daffodils. 
The Roots of both arc like one another, but do d ffer 
in Great nefs. The Leaves of both are of a whitifh 
green color , one a little broader than the other. The 
Flowers of both are pure white , and bending down 
their Heads, that they almoft touch the Stalk again : 
the greater Flower has the longer and narrower 
Trunk and the leffer Flower, the fborter and wider 
open j yet both a little crumpled at the edges or brims. 
From the Seed of thefe has Jprung great Variety , few 
or none keeping either the Color or Height of their 
Original. 
XII. The Places. The firft is common thro’ all 
England , in Copfes, Woods and Orchards, infomuch 
that by its growing Wild, it is of the leffer value 
in our Gardens. The fecond is alfo Englifh, yet is 
found growing on the Pyrencean Mountains. The 
third grows in Gardens. The fourth was brought 
out of Spain. The fifth, fixth, feventh, eighth and 
ninth came from the Pyrencean Mountains j and are 
alfo found in fome parts of Spain : but with us 
they all grow in Gardens only. 
XIII. The Times. The firft, fecond and fixth are 
the moft early : all the reft flower in April : and 
the greateft yellow, fomewhat earlier than the other 
greater or leffer white. 
XIV. The Qualities-, Specification, Preparations 
and Virtues, are much the lame with the Common 
or
