Crains-Bill.

It is a flower of a Bullous-root about the bigness of the top * 1.1 of a mans thumb, long and flat, on one side rising with branches like great rushes spreading every way, with a stalk rising in the middle, whereon groweth the flower with a few small long leaves, hanging down of his head; it is a flower of the Spring, being once planted in a ground, there it remains: it will not be worth my labour to describe every particular of it; to be short, the time of planting of them is in April or August, the place in some out-border in a physical or a kitchin-garden, and there if they be but kept clean from hurtfull weeds, they will flower yearly and increase, so you may plant more ground with the suckers, or pleasure your friend with them.
