ſome of theſe Daffodils Narciſſes, when as all know that know any Latine, that Narciſſus is the Latine name, and Daffodill the Engliſh of one and the ſame thing; and therefore alone without any other Epithite cannot properly diſinguiſh ſeuerall things. I would willingly therefore that all would grow iudicious, and call euery thing by his proper Engliſh name in ſpeaking Engliſh, or elſe by ſuch Latine name as euery thing hath that hath not a proper Engliſh name, that thereby they may diſtinguiſh the ſeuerall varieties of things and not confound them, as alſo to take away all excuſes of miſtaking; as for example: The ſingle Engliſh baſtard Daffodill (which groweth wilde in many Woods, Groues, and Orchards in England.) The double Engliſh baſtard Daffodill. The French ſingle white Daffodill many vpon a ſtalke. The French double yellow Daffodill. The great, or the little, or the leaſt Spaniſh yellow baſtard Daffodill, or the great or little Spaniſh white Daffodill. The Turkie ſingle white Daffodill, or, The Turkie ſingle or double white Daffodill many vpon a ſtalke, &c. Of Fritillaria, or the checkerd Daffodill, there are halfe a ſcore ſeucrall ſorts, both white and red, both yellow and blacke, which are a wonderfull grace and ornament to a Garden in regard of the Checker like ſpots are in the flowers. Of Iacinthes there are aboue halfe an hundred ſorts, as they are ſpecified hereafter; ſome like vnto little bells or ſtarres, others like vnto little bottles or pearles, both white and blew, sky-coloured and bluſh, and ſome ſtarlike of many pretty various formes, and all to giue delight to them that will be curious to obſerue them. Of Crocus or Saffron flowers, there are alſo twenty ſorts; ſome of the Spring time, others flowring onely in the Autume or Fall, earlier or later than another, ſome whereof abide but a while, others indure aboue a moneth in their glorious beauty. The Colchicum or Medowe Saffron, which ſome call the ſonne before the father, but not properly, is of many ſorts alſo; ſome flowring in the Spring of the yeare, but the moſt in Autume, whereof ſome haue faire double flowers very delightfull to behold, and ſome partly coloured both fſingle and double ſo variable, that it would make any one admire the worke of the Creatour in the various ſpots and ſtripes of theſe flowers. Then haue wee of Lillies twenty ſeuerall ſorts and colours, among whom I muſt reckon the Crowne Imperiall, that for his ſtately forme deſerueth ſome ſpeciall place in this Garden, as alſo the Martagons, both white and red, both bluſh and yellow, that require to be ſet by themſelues apart, as it were in a ſmall round or ſquare of a knot, without many other, or tall flowers growing neare them. But to tell you of all the ſorts of Tulipas (which are the pride of delight) they are ſo many, and as I may ſay, almoſt infinite, doth both paſſe my ability, and as I beleeue the skill of any other. They are of two eſpeciall ſorts, ſome flowring earlier, and others later than their fellowes, and that naturally in all grounds, wherein there is ſuch a wonderfull variety and mixture of colours, that it is almoſt impoſſible for the wit of man to deſcipher them thoroughly, and to giue names that may be true & ſeuerall diſtinctions to euery flower, threeſcore ſeuerall ſorts of colours ſimple and mixed of each kind I can reckon vp that I haue, and of eſpeciall note, and yet I doubt not, but for euery one of them there are ten others differing from them, which may be ſeen at ſeuerall times, and in ſeuerall places: & beſides this glory of variety in colors that theſe flowers haue, they carry ſo ſtately & delightfull a forme, & do abide ſo long in their brauery (enduring aboue three whole moneths from the firſt vnto the laſt) that there is no Lady or Gentlewoman of any worth that is not caught with this delight, or not delighted with theſe flowers. The Anemones likewiſe or Windeflowers are ſo full of variety and ſo dainty, ſo pleaſant and ſo delightſome flowers, that the ſight of them doth enforce an earneſt longing deſire in the minde of any one to be a poſſeſſeur of {ls}}ome of them at the leaſt: For without all doubt, this one kinde of flower, ſo variable in colours, ſo differing in forme (being almoſt as many ſorts of them double as ſingle) ſo plentifull in bearing flowers, and ſo durable in laſting, and alſo ſo eaſie both to preſerue and to encreaſe, is of it ſelfe alone almoſt ſufficient to furniſh a garden with their flowers for almoſt halfe the yeare, as I ſhall ſhew you in a fit and conuenient place. The Beares eares or French Cowſlips muſt not want their deſerued commendations, ſeeing that their flowers, being many ſet together vpon a ſtalke, doe ſeeme euery one of them to bee a Noſegay alone of it ſelfe: and beſides the many differing colours that are to be ſeene in them, as white, yellow, bluſh, purple, red, tawney, murrey, haire colour, &c. which encreaſe much delight in all ſorts of the Gentry of the Land, they are not vnfurniſhed with a pretty ſweete ſent,
