double flowers,are come to our knowledge fince the publication of my booke, which elle fhould have beenc

but rife not ufuallyfo high as the double Red, fet in whitifh cornered huskes, and confiding of two or three

This double Nonefuch is fo like unto the other double Red, for the forme of the leaves and manner of grow¬ 
ing as that there is hardly any difference difeerned before it come to flower, yet the leaves feeme tobeea little 
1 ftefher greene : the ftalke rifeth not fo high, and the flower it felfe is not fo large as the double red and is of a

The lelfer kinde rifeth not fo high as the other fort by the halfe,neither is thcftalke fo great having butafew 
leaves fet thereon by couples like the other: the flowers that ftand at the toppe likewife are fewer but of the 
colour the roote is imall and fibrous and perilheth every ycare.
