Parkinson, John
Gardening -- Early works to 1800; Gardening -- England -- Early works to 1800
The first great Spanish kinde was brought out of Spaine. The
rest from the Pyrenæan Mountaines, onely the last sauing one
is plentifull in our owne Country, but the white sort of that
kinde came with the rest from the same Mountaines.
The Time.
The pale or third kinde, and the English bee the most early,
all the rest flower in Aprill, and the greatest yellow somewhat
earlier, then the other greater or lesser white.
The Names.
Their seuerall names are expressed in their titles sufficient
to distinguish them, and therefore there needeth no more to be
said of them.
1. _Pseudonarcissus aureus maximus flore pleno, siue Roseus
Tradescanti._
The greatest double yellow bastard Daffodill, or Iohn Tradescant his
great Rose Daffodill.
This Prince of Daffodils (belongeth primarily to Iohn Tradescant, as
the first founder thereof, that we know, and may well bee entituled
the Glory of Daffodils) hath a great round roote, like vnto other
Daffodils, couered with a brownish outer skinne or peeling, from
whence riseth vp foure or fiue somewhat large and broad leaues, of a
grayish greene colour, yet not fully so long and large as the next
following Daffodill: from the middle whereof riseth vp a stalke almost
as high and great as it, bearing at the toppe (out of a skinnie huske)
one faire large great flower (the budde, before it breake open,
being shorter and thicker in the middle, and ending in a longer and
sharper point then any of the other Daffodils) very much spread open,
consisting of smaller and shorter leaues then the next, but more in
number, and thicker and rounder set together, making it seeme as great
and double as any Prouince Rose, and intermixt with diuers yellow and
pale leaues, as it were on rowes one vnder another. It abideth long in
flower, and spreadeth, by standing long, to be the broadest in compasse
of any of the Daffodils, but falleth away at the last without giuing
any seede, as all double Daffodils doe.
2. _Pseudonarcissus aureus Anglicus maximus._
Mʳ. Wilmers great double Daffodill.
