The Places and time

Many of the Sorts aforesaid are to be found in the Gardens of some Physitians, and Apothecaries who know the worth of them, as also in the Physick Gardens at Oxford, and Westminster, but especially the two first. The Third and Fourth in Spain as their titles do declare. The fifth in many places of Germany, Bohemia and Hungary. The Sixth on the hills by Baden in Germany. The Seventh in many of the same places with the Fifth. The Eighth and Ninth on a small hill nigh unto Stampfen, which is two Duch miles from Posonium, a chief Citty in Hungary. The last in Illyria or Sclavony, as Alpinus saith. They do all flower in May, and their seed is ripe before the end of June.
