IX. The fixth, or Summer Sow-Bread. Its 
Root is likewfe finally black , and round. It has 
round Leaves like unto the Roman Sow-Bread , 
but jomewhat corner’d, yet with Shorter corners 
than the Ivy Leav'd Sow-Bread ; full of white 
J pots on the upper fide oj the Leaves , and very 
purple underneath ; fometimes they have fewer 
Jpots , and little or no Purple underneath. The 
flowers arc ftnall and as Purple , and as fweet as 
the purple Sow-Bread of the Spring , at Sefl. VI. 
aforegoing. 
APPENDIX. 
There are fome few other Species of this Plant, 
which though not common, yet becaufe they 
are to be found in the Gardens of fome curi- 
ous Florifts, we (hall adventure to add in this 
place. 
X. A feventh Species. Cyclamen vernum Cre- 
licurn f.ore albo : Candy Spring Sow-Bread white 
flower’d. This is almolt in all things like to 
the former white flowered Spring Sow-Bread 
at Sell. VII. aforegoing, laving that the Leaves 
grow much larger and longer, with more corn- 
ers at the Edges, and more eminent fpots on 
them. The flowers are white alfo but fome- 
thing longer and larger, in which things con- 
fift the chief differences. 
XI. An eighth Species. Cyclamen folio hedert 
autumnale flore albo : Ivy Leav’d Sow-Bread 
white flower’d. This has its Leaves rounder, 
and not fo much corner’d as the former Ivy 
Leav’d, at Sell. V. aforegoing. It flowers in 
Autumn as that does, but its flowers are wholly 
White, and has no other notable difference. 
XII. A ninth Species. Cyclamen anguflifo- 
lium Autumnale : Long leav'd Sow-Bread. Its 
Root is Tuberous and blackifh ; and by reafon 
its Leaf is longer and narrower than others, it 
is eafily to be diftinguifhed from all other kinds, 
it being fafhioned at its bottom with Points’ 
fomething like to Aron or Wake Robin Leaves! 
The flowers are like the other forts for form 
but of a purple color. There is alfo another of 
this kind, in all things like this now deferibed, 
faving that the flowers are white. 
XIII. A tenth Species. Cyclamen Antioche- 
num Autumnale flore purpurea duplici -. Double 
flower’d Sow-Bread of Antioch. Its Leaves are 
fomething round, like unto rhe Leaves of the 
Summer Sow-Bread at Sell. IX. aforegoing, but 
with lefs notches or corners, and full of white 
fpots upon them. It bears flowers on its Stalks 
like unto others, faving that they are double; 
and likewife fome Stalks which have two or 
three of thofe double flowers on them, which 
are very large, with ten or twelve Leaves apiece, 
like unto the flowers of the Spring Purple Sow- 
Bread, at Sell. VI. above, being of a fair Peach 
color, and deeper color’d at bottom. 
XIV. An eleventh Species. Cyclamen Antioche- 
num Autumnale flore fimplici \ Single flower’d 
Sow-Bread of Antioch. This Species is alfo 
like the laft deferibed in its Roots, Stalks, 
Leaves, and Flowers, faving that the flowers of 
this are Angle. There is alfo a Spring Sow- 
Bread of this kind with Angle flowers, exaftly 
like the eleventh fort, differing from it only 
in the leafon or time of flowering. 
XV. A twelfth Species. Cyclamen Antiochenum 
hernum flore albo duplici. White double flow- 
et d Spring Sow-Bread of Antioch. This is ex- 
actly like the tenth Species at Sell. XIII. afbre- 
gomg, faving that this flowers in the Spring 
which flowers are as large and as double as 
thole, and of a pure white color. 
. XVI. The Places. All or moll of thefe grow 
in Foreign Countries as Syria, C audio , Greece 
Italy, France , and Germany ; but with us thev’ 
are generally Nurllup in Gardens. Gerard lavs 
that he had heard it from Men of good Credit 
that Sow-Bread (the full common kind) grows 
upon the Mountains of Wales-, on the Hills of 
Lincolnshire , and in Sommerfetfhire , upon a Fox 
" e , 3r 2. a Tovvn called ^"dwgton. 
■ XVII. Tfe T«sc.r. The Spring kinds flower 
in March and April. The Summer kind in May 
fune and July ; and the Autumn kinds in the 
latter part of Augufl and through the whole Month 
ol September, when the Plant is without Leaf- 
which does afterwards fpring up, continuing 
Green all the Winter, covering and keeping warm 
the Seed till MidSummer next, at which time it 
will be ripe. 
XVIII. Obfervat. i. Of the Spring Cyclamen's 
lome have round Speckled Leaves-, Red Flowers 
and fmell Sweetly ; others have long Leaves 
and White Flowers-, others Yellowilh Flowers’ 
and others, whole Leaves are like Violet Leaves 
and their Flowers Pale. ’ 
XIX. ObS 2. Of the Autumn Cyclamen's there 
are fome whofe Root is round and as broad 
as the Palm of Ones Hand, bearing a Red Flow- 
er with a fweet Smell. There blows one in 
this Seafon, called the Constantinople Cyclamen 
which the firft year bears twenty flowers; the 
lecond, fiity ; the third, two hundred : but thev 
have no fmell. Others of them bear White 
Flowers: Other Flowers of a Carnation color. 
The German Cyclamen has a very great Roor 
and red flowers, but without any fmell. ’ 
XX. ObS 3. They are raifed by Seeds ; but 
the opting Cyclamens are to be Sown in the 
Spring, and thofe of the Autumn, in the Au- 
tumn. They are rarely Sown in Borders or 
Beds, but in Pots, fill’d with a very light Earth 
mix’d with Mould, which when it is well pre- 
pared, the Seed is to be Sown in it; which ought 
c ° fu U , r ,'P e > when the Leaves are fallen 
the Footltalk quite llirunk up, and the head or 
Cafe containing the Seed opens of it felf 
XXI. ObJ. . 4. They are to be fet in the 
Ground an inch deep, and two inches diftance 
alunder \ and then they are to be expofed to 
the Sun, and prudently watered; that the heat 
and humidity which contribute to Vegetation 
may caufe them the fooner to fpring up • other’ 
Plants bring forth their Leaves firft, bur the 
Cyclamen firlt forms its Bulbs, and afterwards 
it Flowers. 
XXII. Obf 5. They are not to be Tranf- 
planted till three years after they are Sown ■ 
and then they are to be put into Pots fill’d 
with Subftantial Earth, abounding with Nitrous 
Salt: the larger rhe Pots are, the more room 
they will have to grow in, whereby they will 
the more extend themfelves, and produce the 
greater quantity and the finer flowers. 
XXIII- -Obf. 6 . When you Tranfpiant them 
put their Bulbs two Inches deep in the Ground 
not deeper, left they fhould fink, fo as to de! 
prive the Eye of thefe Plants from the Enjoy- 
ment or the Air, whereby hurting their fpring- 
mg, you may for that reafon hinder them
