be_v concern_v produce_v thing_n of_o these_o flower_n contrary_a to_o nature_n and_o season_n 1._o the_o first_o dispute_n be_v whether_o cornation_n seed_n bring_v forth_o a_o single_a pink_n i_o answer_v some_o do_v and_o the_o most_o do_v not_o for_o those_o that_o come_v single_a be_v of_o the_o under-seed_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v diligence_n and_o care_n in_o the_o save_v the_o seed_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o there_o will_v be_v very_o few_o single_a pink_n but_o those_o that_o be_v by_o diligence_n replant_v may_v be_v make_v double_a but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o bestow_v the_o pain_n you_o may_v plant_v they_o in_o some_o border_n or_o bankside_n there_o to_o remain_v for_o strew_v flower_n another_o curiosity_n be_v to_o have_v cornation_n almost_o while_o christmas_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a this_o may_v be_v do_v if_o you_o will_v take_v these_o direction_n 2._o in_o june_n and_o july_n till_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o august_n cut_v away_o all_o such_o bud_n or_o branch_n that_o you_o see_v be_v like_a to_o bring_v forth_o a_o flower_n and_o afterward_o let_v such_o as_o will_v spring_v forth_o alone_o and_o by_o michaelmas_n these_o will_v be_v bud_v forth_o this_o must_v be_v do_v by_o your_o pot-flower_n because_o they_o must_v be_v carry_v in_o in_o the_o cold_a night_n they_o must_v be_v set_v into_o a_o room_n and_o set_v abroad_o again_o adays_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o shall_v have_v the_o bud_n open_a and_o keep_v this_o flower_n even_o while_o christmas_n 3._o other_o thing_n i_o have_v be_v tell_v that_o will_v cause_v this_o effect_n &_o that_o be_v by_o enclose_v the_o flower_n in_o soft_a wax_n at_o the_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o open_v &_o so_o let_v they_o stand_v enclose_v while_o christmas_n or_o any_o time_n of_o the_o winter_n that_o you_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o have_v a_o cornation-gilliflower_n than_o say_v he_o take_v off_o your_o wax_n in_o a_o sunshine_n day_n and_o the_o sun_n will_v open_v the_o flower_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o may_v have_v they_o at_o any_o time_n you_o may_v believe_v this_o if_o you_o please_v but_o it_o be_v good_a for_o you_o to_o find_v it_o true_a by_o experience_n for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v it_o can_v be_v so_o for_o the_o stalk_n wither_v before_o that_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o if_o the_o stalk_n be_v dead_a the_o flower_n can_v be_v alive_a and_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n 4._o many_o other_o vain_a thing_n i_o have_v be_v tell_v concern_v alteration_n which_o be_v very_o uncertain_a truth_n which_o i_o shall_v not_o bestow_v the_o pain_n to_o set_v down_o but_o shall_v proceed_v with_o laudable_a and_o creditable_a and_o profitable_a thing_n for_o he_o that_o be_v employ_v therein_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o please_v any_o man_n in_o write_v of_o this_o treatise_n unless_o he_o will_v be_v please_v with_o the_o bare_a truth_n and_o no_o more_o so_o i_o will_v speak_v a_o word_n or_o two_o of_o the_o continuance_n of_o this_o flower_n if_o it_o may_v be_v careful_o look_v to_o it_o may_v continue_v five_o or_o six_o continuanee_n year_n or_o otherwise_o not_o half_a so_o long_o some_o man_n be_v of_o opinion_n when_o they_o see_v this_o beautiful_a flower_n as_o to_o think_v it_o be_v of_o a_o art_n of_o their_o own_o or_o other_o but_o they_o be_v mistake_v all_o the_o art_n of_o man_n be_v to_o find_v out_o the_o art_n of_o nature_n itself_o for_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v not_o use_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n nature_n and_o season_n it_o will_v come_v to_o no_o effect_n therefore_o what_o i_o have_v discover_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o or_o any_o other_o flower_n as_o far_o as_o my_o capacity_n can_v true_o understand_v i_o give_v it_o to_o all_o man_n yet_o i_o know_v
