The Places and Time.

The first groweth naturally in divers places of this Land, and is either there∣fore called English Worm-seed, because it is proper to our Country; or else, because our Country folks do make use of it for the Wormes, to which end they bring it into their Gardens, where being once sowed, they are for ever fur∣nished. The second is naturall to some places of Italy, yet in others, they sow it in their Gardens for pleasure, as we do, and in their fields also, for the profit that is made of the seed, and the oyl that is pressed therefrom. The third is common in Germany, in all their flax grounds almost. The fourth groweth in the sandy grounds about Basil. The fift by Padoa, on the E••gonean Hills. The two last by Mompelier. They all flower in the summer Months, and their seed is ripe about August.
