The Places and Time.

All the Sow-Thistles above named, grow in unmanured as well as in ma∣nured soyls, some in Gardens, and Orchards where the leaves are usually lesser and lesser divided, than in the rough and unmanured grounds; and sometimes by and upon old walls, the pathsides of fields and highwaies: but the first is seldom seen, save in the Gardens of Herbarists, and the fourth groweth only in Yorkeshire and Cheshire naturally. They do flower and shed their seed from Midsummer or thereabout all the Summer long, and sometimes till August be past.
