3 Here are diverfe forts of Poppies, fome tame and of the garden, others wild and of the fieldcs ■ of the; 
5 Garden kinde fome have fingle and fome have double flowersiofthe wilde there are diverlekindes, 
I fome of the corne fields moll properly and plentifully, and therefore called Corne Rofe, or Come 
1 Poppie,others whole heads of feede are fmall & long,bending or bowing like an home,and therefore 
calledHorned Poppy, of which kinde one fortgroweth molluiuallybychefeafide'others by thepathes, hedges 
and bankes in fields : then that kinde called Spatling Poppie, differing,’from them all .as Papaver Heracleum doth, 
although called Poppy : and lallly, there is a baftard kind of wild Poppie, calledin Latine Argemene , which al¬ 
though Diofrorides reckoned) it not among the Poppies, yet he maketh it like unto the wild corne Poppie, both 
in heads and flowers,andlike the Anemones in leaves,and as he faith w ith a round roote,wherein it diftereth from 
ours. Of fome of thefe kindes I have already fpoken, and therefore neede not to diferibe them againe : the Gar¬ 
den kindes, with double flowers 1 have fet forth in my former Booke of the Garden of flowers; as alfo a kinde 
ofthat wild Come Poppie, that beareth double flowers: ar,d in the Cla ffis of purging plants, here beforp in this 
Booke, I have fet downe all the forts of Horned Poppie; as alfo that kind of Spatling Poppie,that is (0 accounted 
with us: tbe reft of the forts and kindes not fet forth, are now to be entreated off: but I thinkeit moll fit to give 
you fome ofthe figures before expreffed, and to fpeake of tire forts of Arecmone, inthenext Chapter, and not
