Few Fruits are coloured Red within . The Queene-Apple is . And i 
another Apple, called the Rofe-Apple, Mulberries likewife • and Grapes, 1 
though moft toward the Skinnc. There is a Peach alfo , that hath a 
Circle of Red towards the Stone: And the Egriot-cherry is lbmcwhat 
Red within • But no Peare , nor Warden, nor Plumme, nor Apricot , al¬ 
though they haue (many times) Red fides, are Coloured Red within. 
The Cau/e may be enquired. 
j The Generali Colour of Plants is Greene ; which is a Colour that no 
\ Flower is of. There a Greenifh Prime-Rofe , but it is Pale and fcarce a 
j Greene - The he sues of fome 'trees turne a little Murry, or Reddifh ; And 
they be commonly Teung Leaues that doe fo • As it is in Oakes, and Fines , 
1 and Ha fie. Leant s rot into a Yellow- And fome Hollies haue part of their 
Leaues YeUow, that are, (to all Teeming,) as Frcfh and Shining, as the 
Greene * I fuppole alfo, that Yellow is a lelfe Succulent Colour, than Greene • 
And a degree neerer white. For it hath beenc noted, that thole Yellow 
Leaues of Holly hand euer towards the North, or North-Eaft . Some Roots 
are Yellow , as Garrets ; And fome Plants Bloud-Red, Stalke and Leafe, 
and all- as Amaranthm. Some Herbs incline to Purple, and Red -Asa 
Kindeof Sage doth, and a Kinde of Mint, and RofaSolts, <kc. Andlome 
haue White Leaues, as another Kinde of Sage, and another Kinde of Mint - 
But Azure, and a Faire Purple , are neuer found in Leaues. This Ihe weth, 
that Blowers are made of a Refined Iuyce,of the Earth 5 And fo are Bruits: 
But Leaues ofa more Courfe, and Common. 
It isaCuriofity alfo to make Blowers Double i Which is effected by 
Often Remouing them into New Earth 5 As on the contrary Part, Dou¬ 
ble Blowers , by negle&ing, and not Remouing, proue single. And the 
Way todoeitfpeedily, is to fow or let Seeds, or Slips of Flowers • And 
as foone as they come vp, to remoue them into New Ground, that \ 
is good. Enquire alfo. Whether Inoculating of Flowers , (as Stock-GiUy . 
Blowers, Rofes, Musk-Rofes, &c.) doth not make them Double. There is 
a Chyry-Ttee, that hath Double Blofjomes ; But that Tree beareth no Bruit ; 
And, it may be, that the fame Meanes, which applied to the Tree, doth 
extremely accelerate the Sap to rife, and breake forth - Would make 
the Tree fpend it felfe in Blowers, andthofe to become Double ; Which 
were a great pleafure to fee • Efpeciallv in Apple-Trees. Peach-Trees, and 
Altnond-Trets, that haue Biofjomts Blujb-Coloured . 
The Making of Bruits , without Core or Stone, is likwilea Curio fit’s • 
And fome what better: Becaufe whatfoeuer maketh themfo, is like to 
make them more Tender and Delicate. If a Cions or Shoot , fir to be let 
in the Ground, haue the Pith finely taken forth, (and not altogether, 
butlomeofitleft, the better to faue the life,) it will beare a Fruit with 
little, or no Core , or Stone . And the like is laid to bee, of diuiding a 
jguick-Tne downe to the Ground, and Taking out the Pith , and then 
binding it vp agajne.
