Wee haue another also, whose flower is of a deepe Orenge tawny crimson
colour, neare vnto the colour of the outer leaues, of the lesser French
Marigold, and not differing from the former in any thing else.
4. _Anemone tenuifolia flore pleno suauerubente._
The greater double blush Anemone.
There is small difference to be discerned, either in the roote or
leaues of this from the former double Scarlet Anemone, sauing that
the leaues hereof are a little broader, and seeme to bee of a little
fresher greene colour: the flower of this is as large almost, and as
double as the former, and the inner leaues likewise almost as large as
they, being of a whitish or flesh colour at the first opening of them,
but afterwards become of a most liuely blush colour; the bottomes of
the leaues abiding of a deeper blush, and with long standing, the tops
of the leaues will turne almost wholly white againe.
5. _Anemone tenuifolia flore albo pleno._ The double white Anemone.
This double white Anemone differeth little from the former blush
Anemone, but in that it is smaller in all the parts thereof, and also
that the flower hereof being wholly of a pure white colour, without
any shew of blush therein, hath the middle thrummes much smaller and
shorter then it, and not rising vp so high, but seeme as if they were
chipped off euen at the toppes.
6. _Anemone tenuifolia flore pleno albicante._
The lesser double blush Anemone.
This small double blush Anemone differeth very little from the double
white last recited, but onely in the colour of the flower: for they are
both much about the bignesse one of another, the middle thrums likewise
being as small and short, and as euen aboue, onely the flower at the
first opening is almost white, but afterwards the outer leaues haue a
more shew of blush in them, and the middle part a little deeper then
they.
7. _Anemone tenuifolia flore pleno purpureo violaceo._
The double purple Anemone.
This double purple Anemone is also of the same kindred with the first
double red or Scarlet Anemone for the form or doublenesse of the
flower, consisting but of six or seuen leaues at the most in this our
Country, although in the hotter it hath ten or twelue, or more as large
leaues for the outer border, and as large small leaues for the inner
middle also, and almost as double, but of a deepe purple tending toward
a Violet colour, the outer leaues being not so deepe as the inner: the
roote and leafe commeth neare vnto the single purple Anemone before
described, but that the roote spreadeth not so small and so much.
8. _Anemone tenuifolia flore pleno purpureo cæruleo._
The double blew Anemone.
This Anemone differeth not in any thing from the former double purple,
but onely that the flower is paler, and more tending to a blew colour.
9. _Anemone tenuifolia flore pleno roseo._
The double Rose coloured Anemone.
