The Places and Time.

Fullers and Cloathworkers sow the first in their own Gardens, and cause it to be sowne by others for their use; the second groweth very frequently in most parts of this Land as well in the high-wayes, where there be ditches and rilles of water, as in dryer places; the third in some places of Germany; the last in divers places of England, and particularly by Saint Albans in the Horse-way that goeth from the Abbey Parish to St. Stevens. They all flower in June and July, and the first will be fit to gather for the aforesaid use in the latter end of August, when the seed of the other will be ripe also.
