If I am mistaken in the name I will give you a description whereby you shall know it; it hath many jagged thick leaves rising half a foot from the ground, in the midst of it riseth a stalk like the stem of a Cowflip, though something bigger and higher, it is bare without leaves, the Flowers have many small leaves in the middle with five greater set round it, this Flower is the bigness of a double Primrose white and red speckled, the time of flowering is in May, it seldome bring∣eth seed to perfection, the nethermost leaves keep green all the year.
This plant is set of the slip in the Spring of the year, I sup∣pose it is needless to stand telling of you how in every particu∣lar; the place fit for it is in a quarter laid out into beds for Flowers (as before,) this being so planted it will endure any weather till the fourth year, and then it dieth naturally, therefore take off some of the slips from the branch and root, and set them, which will renew their nature and keep the Garden flourishing.
