in_o august_n will_v flower_n in_o may_n june_n and_o july_n now_o observe_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v flower_a you_o must_v cut_v off_o the_o top-branch_n with_o a_o pair_n of_o garden-shear_n than_o it_o will_v spring_v present_o after_o and_o take_v notice_n this_o flower_n never_o grow_v out_o of_o a_o garden_n be_v once_o plant_v though_o the_o old_a stock_n die_v yet_o it_o send_v forth_o young_a shoot_v in_o its_o stead_n which_o cause_v they_o to_o spread_v mighty_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v keep_v they_o in_o uniform_a manner_n you_o must_v transplant_v they_o once_o in_o two_o or_o three_o year_n as_o i_o direct_v you_o before_o bee-flower_n it_o be_v so_o call_v because_o it_o bear_v a_o flower_n in_o shape_n like_o a_o bee_n whether_o i_o may_v

i_o call_v it_o a_o bee-flower_n i_o shall_v cease_v to_o give_v you_o any_o further_a description_n of_o it_o because_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a the_o labour_n if_o you_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o raise_v they_o if_o you_o can_v procure_v the_o seed_n it_o be_v easy_o do_v by_o sow_v of_o they_o in_o good_a mould_n in_o the_o spring_n time_n with_o other_o flower_n in_o border_n or_o bed_n set_v a_o mark_n where_o you_o sow_v they_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o come_v up_o with_o a_o sharp_a leaf_n and_o in_o june_n or_o july_n they_o bring_v forth_o seed_n and_o die_v the_o same_o year_n i_o have_v speak_v with_o some_o which_o have_v be_v mighty_o take_v with_o this_o flower_n balm_n of_o christ_n or_o if_o you_o please_v the_o hand_n of_o christ_n the_o roman_n in_o former_a time_n

this_o flower_n be_v derive_v from_o some_o romish_a author_n because_o it_o have_v this_o title_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o great_a rarity_n to_o see_v a_o flower_n represent_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o hand_n as_o this_o do_v when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o its_o perfection_n it_o will_v be_v needless_a to_o describe_v it_o any_o further_o now_o for_o the_o propagate_a if_o you_o

and_o excellent_a thing_n to_o be_v observe_v from_o this_o work_n in_o nature_n first_o consider_v how_o beautiful_a it_o be_v and_o of_o what_o a_o hardy_a nature_n it_o be_v of_o other_o flower_n that_o be_v beautiful_a be_v of_o a_o tender_a nature_n it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o this_o consider_v what_o a_o stately_a form_n it_o have_v but_o this_o i_o shall_v wave_v i_o will_v speak_v how_o

the_o purple_a and_o red_a and_o many_o more_o which_o i_o can_v stand_v to_o name_n all_o these_o colour_n or_o any_o other_o do_v sometime_o alter_v their_o colour_n by_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o by_o industry_n of_o themselves_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o colour_n of_o tulip_n do_v differ_v one_o from_o another_o be_v of_o a_o apt_a nature_n and_o not_o of_o a_o force_a nature_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o alter_v of_o themselves_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o flower_n first_o if_o you_o have_v tulip_n already_o in_o your_o garden_n when_o they_o be_v flower_a take_v notice_n of_o what_o colour_n they_o be_v then_o stick_v a_o small_a stick_n by_o each_o particular_a flower_n and_o write_v upon_o the_o stick_n what_o colour_n each_o flower_n be_v now_o by_o the_o set_n down_o of_o this_o stick_n you_o shall_v know_v what_o colour_n they_o be_v when_o the_o flower_n be_v fade_v and_o nothing_o remain_v but_o the_o root_n in_o the_o earth_n let_v these_o stick_n or_o mark_n stand_v till_o such_o time_n as_o you_o remove_v they_o the_o time_n of_o remove_v they_o be_v present_o after_o they_o have_v do_v flower_a and_o that_o be_v about_o the_o begin_n of_o june_n in_o the_o remove_n of_o they_o all_o the_o art_n and_o knowledge_n consist_v either_o for_o the_o enlarge_n of_o they_o or_o to_o have_v they_o flower_n at_o contrary_a season_n or_o to_o alter_v the_o colour_n first_o for_o alter_v the_o colour_n have_v set_v the_o mark_n to_o know_v what_o colour_n they_o be_v take_v up_o your_o root_n and_o lay_v colour_n each_o colour_n by_o themselves_o so_o do_v prepare_v your_o ground_n to_o set_v they_o in_o if_o you_o set_v they_o in_o the_o same_o place_n where_o they_o be_v take_v up_o some_o fresh_a mould_n must_v be_v get_v and_o well_o ridle_v so_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o border_n where_o you_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o set_v they_o but_o happy_o you_o may_v set_v they_o in_o a_o wrong_a place_n for_o ornament_n therefore_o i_o will_v give_v some_o direction_n for_o the_o place_n if_o the_o garden_n be_v crosse-work_n than_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o set_v they_o in_o a_o border_n round_o it_o if_o herb-work_n than_o tulip_n must_v be_v set_v in_o a_o quarter_n cast_v out_o into_o bed_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o be_v in_o the_o draft-work_n of_o this_o

a_o inch_n of_o earth_n above_o the_o root_n for_o if_o you_o do_v they_o lie_v cold_a in_o the_o ground_n and_o can_v get_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o air_n to_o cause_v they_o to_o

tulip_n by_o themselves_o after_o these_o direction_n take_v a_o quantity_n of_o wild_a or_o garden-herb_n and_o sheeps-dung_n and_o pigeons-dung_n beat_v these_o herb_n and_o the_o dung_n together_o so_o do_v put_v some_o of_o this_o into_o the_o hole_n where_o you_o set_v your_o tulip-root_n anoint_v the_o root_n with_o the_o same_o and_o set_v they_o into_o the_o hole_n and_o put_v in_o more_o atop_o of_o they_o cover_v of_o they_o with_o earth_n this_o do_v upon_o several_a trial_n it_o have_v alter_v the_o colour_n some_o after_o one_o manner_n and_o some_o after_o another_o but_o still_o the_o red_a and_o the_o white_a carry_v the_o great_a sway_n again_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v and_o i_o have_v conceit_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o be_v in_o the_o plant_n of_o a_o red_a tulip_n to_o

juice_n and_o convert_v it_o into_o its_o own_o nature_n which_o shall_v cause_v so_o many_o orite_n of_o colour_n as_o be_v mix_v in_o the_o juice_n but_o i_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o for_o i_o find_v no_o more_o alteration_n in_o those_o than_o i_o do_v in_o the_o former_a which_o be_v only_o the_o enrich_n of_o the_o earth_n with_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o herb_n and_o dung_n so_o flower_n do_v not_o convert_v any_o colour_n as_o they_o be_v but_o into_o its_o own_o colour_n and_o intercisial_a form_n as_o every_o one_o have_v some_o think_v that_o there_o be_v several_a juice_n in_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o as_o be_v say_v that_o if_o garlic_n be_v set_v by_o gillyflower_n that_o they_o will_v be_v the_o sweet_a because_o that_o they_o think_v that_o the_o garlic_n do_v draw_v away_o the_o strong_a juice_n this_o be_v as_o uncreditable_a as_o the_o story_n of_o robin-hood_n for_o sure_a if_o flower_n draw_v juice_n so_o do_v the_o crabtree_n i_o mean_v draw_v or_o receive_v of_o nature_n it_o as_o it_o be_v then_o mark_v a_o apple_n graft_v upon_o a_o crabtree_n must_v needs_o turn_v a_o crab_n for_o it_o receive_v its_o juice_n from_o the_o crab-stock_n and_o as_o they_o say_v the_o crab-stock_n draw_v sour_a juice_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o from_o whence_o shall_v the_o apple_n receive_v its_o sweet_a juice_n why_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apple_n graft_n convert_v the_o sour_a juice_n of_o the_o crab-stock_n into_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o become_v of_o a_o

they_o will_v bring_v forth_o flower_n of_o two_o several_a kind_n seem_v to_o spring_v from_o one_o root_n some_o be_v so_o simple_a to_o think_v that_o they_o will_v be_v mix_v colour_n but_o that_o
