double white Crowfoote, and single and double red Crowfoot, the glory
of a Garden: the early red Martagon, the Persian Lilly, the yellow
Martagon, the Gladiolus or Corne flagge, both white, red, and blush:
the double yellow Rose, and some other sorts of Roses. In Iune doe
flower the white and the blush Martagon, the Martagon Imperiall, the
mountaine Lillies, and the other sorts of white and red Lillies, the
bulbous Flowerdeluces of diuers sorts, the red flowred Ladies bower,
the single and double purple flowred Ladies bower, the white Syringa
or Pipe tree, for the blew Pipe tree flowreth earlier, the white and
the yellow Iasmin. Iuly holdeth in flower some of the Ladies bowers
and Iasmines, and besides doth glory in the Female Balsame apple, the
Indian Cresses or yellow Larkes spurres, the purple Flower-gentle and
the Rose Bay. In August begin some of the Autumne bulbous flowers to
appeare, as the white and the purple Colchicum or Medow Saffron, the
purple mountaine Crocus or Saffron flower, the little Autumne Leucoium
and Autumne Iacinth, the Italian Starrewort, called of some the purple
Marigold, the Meruaile of Peru or of the world, the Flower of the
Sunne, the great blew Bell-flower, the great double French Marigold.
September flourisheth with the Flower of the Sunne, the Meruaile of
the world, the purple Marigold, and blew Bell-flower spoken of before,
and likewise the other sorts of Medow Saffron, and the double kinde
likewise, the siluer Crocus, the Autumne yellow Daffodill, Cyclamen
also or Sowbread shew their flowers in the end of this moneth. October
also will shew the flowers of Cyclamen, and some of the Medow Saffrons.
In Nouember, as also sometimes in the moneth before, the party coloured
Medow Saffron may bee seene, that will longest hold his flower, because
it is the latest that sheweth it selfe, and the ash coloured mountaine
Crocus. And euen December it selfe will not want the true blacke
Hellebor or Christmas flower, and the glorious shew of the Laurus Tinus
or wilde Bay tree. Thus haue I shewed you some of the flowers for euery
moneth, but I referre you to the more ample declarion of them and all
the others, vnto the work following.
