where it will increafe abundantly, the? not fo in 
our London Air, and Forest Grounds.) fomething 
like to the yellow Bolonian Tulip, (at Se£t V l) 
following. It J hoots out of the Earth with broad 
and long Leaves, but neither fo broad, nor of fo 
white or Mealy a green color, as other Tulips, but 
more dark than the Serotinz, or late t lower- 
ing Tulips j fo that this may eafily be difeerned by 
its Leaf from any other Tulip above Ground, by 
Juch as are skilled in thefe Flowers. It beats 
three Leaves upon its Stalk , (veiy rarely font ) 
and at the top of the Stalk (which is not long) a 
Flower , like to the Tulips, but that its Leaves are 
always* long, and fomething narrow, having a large 
black bottom, made like unto a Chevern, whojc 
point rifes up to the middle of the Leaf, higher 
than in any other Tulip. T he Flower is of a pale 
red color, nothing fo lively as in the for met Laily 
or Late Red Tulips, yet fwceter (for the moft 
part ) than any of them, and neareft to the yellow 
Bolonian Tulip jollomng, which has much the fame 
Smell. 
V. The third, or Dwarf red Bergomo Tulip, 
greater and letter. T hej'e differ very little fromtbe 
lafl iejertbed , Javing that they are much left, and. 
fmaller in all their parts, and therefore are called 
Dwarfs, in refpeli of them, of which there is a 
greater and a leffer: They take their Denomination 
or Name, from the place from whence they came 
'° VI. The fourth, or yellow Bolonian Tulip. The 
Root of this Tulip maybe eafily known from the 
former Red, ( or any other kind, ) that it feldom 
comes to be fo Urge or big , is not fo Woolly at the 
lop , and the Skin or out fide is fomething paler, 
harder, and Jharper pointed-, but its bottom is like 
the former Red, and not fo eminent at the Early 
or Late Tulips. It bears much longer and narrow- 
er Leaves than any (except the Narbone and Per- 
fian, at Se£l XIII. and XV. following J and of a 
whit 'tfh green color : It bears fomctimcs but one 
flower on a Stalk, fometimes two, and [ometimes, 
tho’ rarely, three, but fmaller ; which are wholly 
yellow, more open than the other kinds, and find- 
ling fweet. The Head for Seed is fmaller than 
in others, and has not that Crown at the Mead there- 
of for which reafon the Seed is afo fmaller, but 
like to the Seed cf other forts. 
VII. The fifth, or fmall Italian Party colored 
Tulip, from its fmall Bulbous Root, it fends 
forth Leaves , which are fmall , long, and narrow , 
of a dark green color, fomething like to the Leaves 
of an Hyacinth. Its flower is fmall alfo, con/ifting 
of fix Leaves , three of which are wholly of a red 
color , and three wholly of a yellow. 
V III. The fixth, or fmall Tulip ofConftantino- 
ple The Root is very like to that of the yellow 
Bolonian Tulip, (at Seft.' VI.) It is a fmall Riant, 
bearing for the moft part two Leaves on the Stalk, 
which are fair ana broad, almoft like to the Candy- 
Tulip, (at Sett. X.) The Stalk rifes to be about a 
foot high , bearing fometimes but one fmall flow- 
er, but moft commonly two, one below another, and 
are no bigger than the flowers of the yellow Bolo- 
nian Tulip, but differing in color ; for this is on 
the out fide of a Rurphjh color, mixed with while 
and green -, and on the inftde of a fair blufh color, 
the bottom and chives being yellow, and the Pen- 
dents or Tips b/aeki/h. 
IX. The feventh, or Turky - Caffa Tulip. Its 
Root is like to others of the Prarcoces, or Early 
Tulips, but differ from them in fome other things 
or particulars. Its Leaves are a pale green, being 
as broad and large aslhofe of a Prsccox ; fometimes 
they are crumpled or waved on the edges, and fome 
have their edges for a good breadth , of a whitifh , 
or whitifh yellow color •, and in others the Leaves 
arc lifted or parted with whitifh yellow and green. 
The Stalk rifes up fcarcely to the height oj a Piacox, 
and bears a Flower, not unlike to the Early Tulips, 
in fome of a reddifh yellow color , with a Ruij er- 
cc lord ground or bottom and in others of Jt vend 
other colors. The Seed is fo like to that of the 
Pracoces, that it is not to be dftinguifhed from it. 
X. The eighth, or Candy Tulip. Its Root is 
fmall , and fomething like to the Narbone, or Dwarf 
yellow Tulip, at Se£L XIII. but a little bigger. It 
bears fair broad Leaves, of a greenijh color , and 
not very whitifh. The Stalk bears one Flower , which 
is larger , and more open than in fome other kinds *, 
and is either wholly white , or of a deep red color, 
or elfe variably mixt , of white , with a fine redd ft? 
Fur pie the bottoms being yellow with Pur pi ft? 
chives , tipt with blachfb Pendents. It does diffi- 
cultly thrive in this our cold Climate , and prof per s 
not well, unlefs a great care be taken of it. 
XI. The ninth, or Italian Tulip, greater and 
leffer. Their Roots are like to the yellow Bolonian 
Tulip, but the Stalks rije not up jo high as in that. 
The Leaves of both forts arc writhed in and out 
at the edges , or made like a Wave oj the Sea, lying 
nearer the Ground. The Flower is yellow within, 
brownijh or reddifh on the back, and in the middle 
of the three outward Leaves, the edges appear yel- 
low. Both thefe Kinds do much referable the Nar- 
bone Tulip, and they differ one from another in 
nothing , but that the one is greater and the other 
leffer. 
XII. The tenth, or Portuguese Tulip, v/_ TV.~rf 
ftrip’d Tulip. This Twarf Tulip is of the fame 
kindred with the gron rr and leffer Italian- juft be- 
Jo/e deferibed, and the Narbonenfe, or Dwarf yel- 
low Tulip following $ there being no other difference 
in this from them, but that the Flower of this has 
fome red Veins running in the Leaves thereof. 
XIII. The eleventh, or Narbone, or Dwarf yel- 
low Tulip. This is very like to the yellow Bolo- 
nian ( at SefL VI. above,) as well in its Root, a* in 
its Leaf and Flower', as alfo in the color thereof \ 
being yellow. The only difference is, that it is in 
all refpetts leffer and lower, and not fo apt to bear , 
nor Jo eafie to increaje by the Root. 
XIV. The twelfth, or white Dwarf Tulip. Its 
Root is like the others, its Stalk is longer than other 
Dwarfs, and the blower is alfo larger , (being oj a 
white color,) than other forts of white Tulips ; but 
the Leaves thereof arc narrower. 
XV. The thirteenth, or Perfian Tulip. Its Root 
is fmall, covered with a thick , hard, blackifh Shell 
or Skin, with ayellowifh Woollinefs both at the top 
and under the Shell. It is a rare Plant, but is thought 
nearly to agree with the Bolonian and Indian Tulips, 
in its Root, Leaf and blower. It rifes out of the 
Ground at fir ft, with one very long and fmall round 
Leaf, which when it is three or four Inches high , 
does open it felf and Jhews forth another fmall 
Leaf (as long almoft cu the jonner) breaking out 
of the one fide thereof, and after it a third u ,,d 
fometimes,^ 1 rarely, a fourth and a fifth, but each 
fhorter than other, which afterwards become cj the 
breadth of the Dwarf yellow Tulip, at Sett. XIII. 
aforegoing, or fomething broader •, but muu> longer 
than any other , and abiding more hollow , and of the 
color oj the Early Tulips on its infi.de. The Stalk 
rifes to be a Foot and a half high fometimes, bearing 
one blower of Jix long and pointed Leaves, of the 
Form of other fmall Tulips, not much bigger than 
the yellow Italian Tulip ; but it is wholly white 
on the inftde and outfide of all its Leaves, faving 
that on the backs of the three outennoft, from the
