and they are either white or blew, or mix’d with 
white and purple. 
X. The eighth , or Bufhy or Leafy Stalked Orien- 
tal Jacinth. This fi range Jacinth has its Roots , 
Leaves , and Flowers, like unto the former Oriental 
Jacinths, but the chief difference is in this , that its 
Stalk is not bare or naked, but has very narrow long 
Leaves, growing upon it difperfedly and without 
order, with the Flowers thereon, which are blew, 
and having for the molt part one Leaf, and fome- 
times two at the foot, or letting on of every Flower, 
yet fometimes it chances fome Flowers to be with- 
out any Leaf at the bottom, as it pleafes Nature, 
which in this Plant is very variable; the Heads and 
Seed are black and round, like to thofe of the other 
Jacinths. 
XI. The P laces. All thefe Plants have been 
brought to us out of Turfy , and from Conftantino- 
ple , but the place of their true original is fcarcely 
known, with us they grow only in Gardens. 
XII. The Times. The two firft Flower the ear- 
lieft, fometimes before Chriflmas , but more ufually 
after, and thro’ the whole Month of January , and 
later fometimes, they abide a great while in Flower, 
and in great beauty, more efpecially if the Weather 
is mild, when few or fcarcely any other Flowers are 
able to appear •, the third Kind Flowers alfo earlier 
than any of thofe which follow ; the other Ordinary 
Kinds Flower fome from the middle to the end of 
February , fome in March , and fome in April.
