The Flower of this, as well as of the fingle, is of 
the very fmell of New Wax, or of an Honey

(mailer Kinds. 
VI. The fourth, or LefTer double AfricanMari- 
gold. The Roots are like the former but l offer. 
Its Leaves alfo are in all things like unto the former, 
but fmaller , which are fet upon rownd brown 
Stalks, not fo (tiff or upright, but bowing and 
bending feveral ways, and fometimes leaning, or 
lying upon the Ground. The Stalks are branched 
a Noble Double Flower, which is the Grace and 
Glory of the Garden in the time of its Flowering 
and Beauty : The Plant riles up with a (fraight and 
hard, round, green Stalk, having fome crelts or 
edges all along the Stalk, befet with long winged 
Leaves •, every one whereof is like to an Afh Leaf, 
being compofed of many long and narrow Leaves, 
fnipt or dented about the edges., (landing by

Damask or Province Rofe, or equal to it at the 
leaft, if it grows in good Soil, and riles out of a 
long green Husk (Iriped or furrowed ^ in which 
after the Flower is pad ( which (lands in its full 
Beauty a Month, and fometimes more ^ and being 
gathered, may be preferved in its full Beauty for- 
two Months after, if let in Water; the Seed is 
out varioufly, on which grow fair double Flowers, 
like the former, and in the like green Husks, but 
lefler $ and in fome, the outwardmoft Leaves will 
be larger than any of the reft, and of a deeper 
orange color, almoft crimfon, the innermoft being 
of a deep gold yellow color, tending ito crimfon. 
The whole Flower is fmaller, and.of a ftranger and

beautiful color, and pleafantnefs to the Eye, it 
furpafles almoll all other Flowers which grow. 
The Seeds are like to the former.

Kind, the fingle and double Kinds rijtng both of them 
fiomthe Seeds of one and the fame Slant ; nor does 
it differ in any thing from them, but that thefe 
are lower, and have fmaller green Leaves- and 
that the Flower being fmaller, has every Leaf 
abiding hollow, like unto a hollow Pipe, broad 
open at the Mouth, and is of as deep a yellow 
color for the moll parr, as the deepeft of the 
lormer ; and yer fometimes it is alfo pale.
