This Muscari differeth not in rootes, or forme of leaues or flowers from the former, the chiefe differences are these: the leaues hereof do not appeare so red at the first budding out of the ground, nor are so darke when they are fully growne; the stalke also most vsually hath more store of flowers thereon, the colour whereof at the first budding is a little duskie, and when they are full blowne, are of a bleake, yet bright ash-colour, with a little shew of purple in them, and by long standing change a little more gray; being as sweete, or as some thinke, more sweete then the former: the roote (as I said) is like the former, yet yeeldeth more encrease, and will better endure our cold clymate, although it doth more seldome giue ripe seede. 3. _Hyacinthus Botroides maior Moschatus, siue Muscari flore rubro._ The red Muske Grape-flower. This kinde (if there be any such, for I am in some doubt thereof) doth chiefly differ in the colour of the flower from the first, in that this should beare flowers when they are blowne, of a red colour tending to yellownesse. 4. _Hyacinthus Botroides maior Moschatus, siue Muscari flore albo._ The white Muske Grape-flower. This also is said to haue (if there bee such an one) his leaues like vnto the second kinde, but of a little whiter greene, and the flowers pale, tending to a white: the roots of these two last are said vsually not to grow to be so great as of the former two.

The rootes of the two first sorts, haue been often sent from Constantinople, among many other sorts of rootes, and it may be come thither from beyond the Bosphorus in Asia; we haue them in our Gardens. The other two sorts are sprung (it is probable, if they be _in rerum natura_) from the seede of the two former; for we could neuer get such from Constantinople, as if the Turkes had neuer knowledge of any such. The Time. They flower in March or Aprill, as the yeare is temperate, but the first is soonest vp out of the ground. The Names.
