former Kinds-, the Stalks are more hairy , and the 
P lower of a deep ye/lowijh red color. Koto this differs 
nothing from the Corn Poppy , but in the dupli- 
city of the Flower, which is very thick and double , 
but not full out fo large as the former. This rife s 
from Seed in the like manner at they do, and is fo 
to be preferved. 
XI. The eighth , or Thorny Poppy. Its Root is 
fmall and fpr ending, dying every Tear. It rifes up 
at frji with three or more whitifh green heaves 
lying on the Ground, freaked with white Feins, 
which growing greater, are long, fmootb , and not 
hairy-, sfomething long and broad, and diverjly rent 
or torn on the edges, but not to the middle Rib, 
having many Corners or Dents as it were about them, 
at which Jiand jtiany fharp Prickles or Thorns, not 
having any white Streaks or Veins on- the under 
fide , but in the white milky Veins, are like to that 
which zee call Oijr Lady^_Thiltle, and on the under 
fide are .more whitifh ,' with feme fmall Trickles, 
along ftp middle Rib and Veins , encompajjing the 
Stalk at their bottoms, which Stalk rifes fometimes 
two or three Feet high, spreading it J elf forth into 
feveral Branches , with the like but leffer Leaves 
on them , and bearing at every of the Tops one 
fmall head, enclofei in a rough Skin or Film, -like 
as the Poppies have , which opening , Jbews forth 
a fmall yellow Flamer , confifiing ttfuaUy of five 
Leaves, yet fometimes having but four , andfome- 
times'qg^jn fi\ with a fmall , long, green, prickly 
head injhe nttid/c, tip'd at the lop with a red Spot, 
•which qiiftkly vicars away , and with many yellow 
Threads funding about it. After the Flower is 
fafl, (for it continues but a while ) the Head grows 
ripe, having five or fix Ribs from the top to the 
bottom , and fo likewife between the Ribs , armed 
with very fmall , but cruel fharp Jhort Trickles, 
in which is enclofed, rough round black Seed, twice 
as large as any Poppy Seed. Every part of the 
Plant yields a yellow Juice. 
XII. The Places. The firft three, or four Jingle 
Flowered Kinds grow not Wild in any place, that 
I know of, but are Planted and Nurlt up in En- 
clofures, for the general good they do to Mankind. 
The Natire place of the four double Kinds are un- 
known, but we have had them for a long time in 
our Gardens ; and it is faid that they came firft 
from Conftantinople, or out of Turky. The eighth 
or Thorny Poppy, has been found growing in Flo- 
rida, and other parts of the Weft Indies, from 
whence the Seed was firft brought to us. 
XIII. The Times. The firft 7 or 8 Garden 
Kinds, do all flower from the beginning of June,
