A Brief And True Report Of The New Found Land Of Virginia (Hardcover)

PAGATOWR, a kinde of graine so called by the inhabitants; the same in the West Indies is called MAYZE: English men call it Guinney wheat or Turkie wheat, according to the names of the countries from whence the like hath been brought. The grain is about the bigness of our ordinary English peaze and not much different in form and shape: but of diverse colors: some white, some red, some yellow, and some blue. All of them yield a very white and sweet flower: beeing used according to his kind it maketh a very good bread.
