[Illustration: BORDER, NEW PLACE, STRATFORD-UPON-AVON] Then the bear's-ears,[15] or French cowslips, each one "seeming to be a nosegay of itself alone" and of so many colors as "white, yellow, blush, purple, red, tawny, murray, hair color and so on" and "not unfurnished with a pretty sweet scent, which doth add an increase of pleasure in those that make them an ornament for wearing." [15] _Auriculas._ Flower-de-luces also of many sorts, one kind "being the Orris roots that are sold at the Apothecaries whereof sweet powders are made to lie among garments" and "the greater Flag kind frequent enough in this land" and which "well doth serve to deck up both garden and house with Nature's beauties." Chief of all was "Your Sable Flower, so fit for a mourning habit that I think in the whole compass of Nature's store there is not a more pathetical." The hepatica, or noble liverwort, white, red, blue, or purple, somewhat resembling violets; the cyclamen, or sow-bread, a "flower of rare receipt with flowers like unto red, or blush-colored violets and leaves having no small delight in their pleasant color, being spotted and circled white upon green"; the _Leucoinum_, or bulbous violet; _Muscari_, or musk grape flower; star-flowers of different sorts; _Phalangium_, or spiderwort; winter crowfoot, or wolfsbane; the Christmas flower, "like unto a single white rose"; bell-flowers of many kinds; yellow larkspur,[16] "the prettiest flower of a score in the garden"; flower gentle, or Floramour; Flower-of-the-Sun;[17] the Marvel of Peru, or of the World; double marsh marigold, or double yellow buttons; double French marigolds; and the double red _Ranunculus_, or crowfoot, "for exceeding the most glorious double anemone," completes Parkinson's list for flowers to be planted in the beds. The jasmine, white and yellow; the double honeysuckle and the lady's-bower (clematis), both white, and red and purple, single and double are "the fittest of Outlandish plants to set by arbors and banqueting-houses[18] that are open both before and above, to help to cover them and to give sight, smell and delight." [16] Nasturtium. [17] Sunflower. [18] The banqueting-house does not signify a place for great entertainments. It was a simple summer-house, or arbor, to which people repaired after dinner to eat the dessert, then called "banquet." Parkinson has not quite finished, however, with the outlandish flowers for he calls attention to the cherry bay, or _Laurocerasus_, saying that "the Rose Bay, or Oleander, and the white and blue Syringa, or Pipe Tree,[19] are all graceful and delightful to set at several distances in the borders of knots, for some of them give beautiful and sweet flowers." [19] Lilac-tree.
