To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Henry now gave Anne a farm at Greenwich of the yearly value of £66.
We have already noted that there was a garden at Greenwich Friary, and we also read that there was a large and small garden at the palace. The orna- ments in the gardens of those days were chiefly architectural, consisting of fountains and other con- ceits. Floriculture was in its infancy, and could not boast of the splendid colours and forms in which it has since triumphed. The flowers were nearly all indigenous, but, though s...omewhat pale, were suffi- ciently graceful. There were roses, primroses, violets, hawthorns, columbines, daffodils, and gilly-flowers^ i.e.9 scented flowers, such as pinks and wall-flowers.^ 1 Branches of rosemary spangled with gold were sometimes brought as presents to the palace, hence it would seem that the plant was rare, but grown here before 1648, the date usually- fixed. There seems to have been a fine garden at Beaulieu that once belonged to the convent. In '32 we find roots and herbs sent VOL.
