The Places and Time.

The first groweth in most Gardens, and there increaseth very much after it is once sown, the second and third are not so common, yet found in divers Gardens of those that affect rarities; the last in Germany, as Lobel saith: and in Naples, as Columna saith; and in Kent, if Mr. Parkinson mistake not. The fourth came to us out of the Low-Countrys, and prospereth well in the Physick-Garden at Oxfora; they do all Flour in the moneths of June and July; except the Creeping Borage, which Lobel saith flow••eth both in the Spring and in August, and their seed doth ripen quickly after; both ripe seed & Flowers, may at one time be gathered from many of them.
