The Places and Time.

The first groweth in most of the Salt-Marshes from Woll-wich, down to the Sea both on the Essex and Kentish shore, and is brought from thence into divers Gardens where it prospereth well; the second in Hungary, as the title sheweth: the third in Africa, the fift in many places of Italy, in wet grounds: it is uncer∣taine whether the sixt came from the Indies, or Italy; the seaventh is to be found neere Anguilara in Italy: the eight groweth in divers places both of Spaine and France, the ninth in Province of France: the last in Candy, whence divers have beene brought to us, and planted in the Gardens of the curious; as the eight sort is in the Garden of Mr. Ball by Sion house. They flourish in July and August and continue flouring till the frost kills the stalkes, but the root continuing sendeth forth new ones the next spring, at which time the Rootes are fittest to be taken up for use.
