The first is thought to grow naturally in England, but I could neuer heare of his naturall place. I am sure it is plentifull enough in all Country Gardens, so that wee scarce giue it place in our more curious parkes. The second liueth only with them that delight in varieties. The Time. The first Daffodill flowreth in the middle time, being neither of the earliest, nor of the latest; but about the middle, or end of April. The other flowreth with the latest in May. The Names. I shall not neede to trouble you with further repetitions of names, they hauing been set downe in their titles, which are proper to them. [Illustration: 1 _Narcissus vulgaris medio luteus._ The common White Daffodill, or Primrose Peerlesse. 2 _Narcissus medio purpureus maximus._ The great white purple ringed Daffodill. 3 _Narcissus medio purpureus præcox._ The early purple ringed Daffodill. 4 _Narcissus medio purpureus stellatus._ The starry purple ringed Daffodill. 5 _Narcissus Persicus._ The Persian Daffodill. 6 _Narcissus Autumnalis minor._ The lesser Winter Daffodill. 7 _Narcissus Autumnalis maior._ The greater Winter Daffodill. ] 1. _Narcissus medio purpureus præcox._ The early purple ringed Daffodill. This early Daffodill hath many long grayish greene leaues, somewhat narrower and stiffer than the former common white Daffodill, among which riseth vp a long naked hollow stalke (as all other Daffodils haue) bearing at the toppe one flower, and seldome two, made of sixe long white leaues, standing close together about the stalke; the cup is yellow, and so flat, that it might rather bee called a crowne: for it standeth very close to the middle, and very open at the brimmes, circled with a reddish or purple coloured ring, hauing certaine chiues in the middle of it also. The smell hereof is very sweete, exceeding many other. 2. _Narcissus medio purpureus serotinus._ The late purple ringed Daffodill. The leaues of this Daffodill are alwayes broader then the former early one, and some are very neare twice as broad: the flower is very like the former, being large, and his leaues standing close one to the side of another; the ring likewise that compasseth the yellow coronet, is sometimes of a paler reddish purple, and sometimes as deep a red as the former: so that it differeth not in any other materiall point, then that it flowreth not vntill the other is past and gone. The sent of this is like the former, the roote hereof is greater, as well as the leafe and flower. 3. _Narcissus medio purpureus maximus._ The great white purple ringed Daffodill. There is another kinde, whose flower (as well as leaues and rootes) is larger then any other of this kinde, which only maketh it a distinct sort from the other: it flowreth also with the later sort of these purple ringed Daffodils.
