the_o first_o be_v that_o for_o want_n of_o know_v the_o reasonable_a distance_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v between_o tree_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o ground_n the_o height_n of_o the_o wall_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o fruit_n they_o be_v osten_v plant_v either_o too_o nigh_o to_o or_o too_o far_o off_o one_o from_o the_o other_o the_o second_o be_v that_o likewise_o for_o want_v of_o due_o understand_v what_o situation_n agree_v best_a with_o each_o sort_n of_o tree_n a_o considerable_a number_n of_o they_o be_v often_o unlucky_o plant_v in_o unkindly_a place_n and_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n animate_v with_o so_o warm_a a_o zeal_n for_o gard'n_v as_o i_o be_o not_o to_o be_v sensible_o touch_v at_o all_o these_o misfortune_n and_o not_o to_o have_v some_o compassion_n upon_o those_o that_o unwary_o engage_v in_o the_o curiosity_n of_o the_o plant_v and_o culture_n of_o fruit_n without_o qualify_a themselves_o with_o some_o little_a knowledge_n in_o it_o no_o certain_o and_o therefore_o as_o far_o as_o possible_o i_o can_v i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o prevent_v all_o those_o fault_n and_o to_o lay_v down_o direction_n how_o to_o plant_v with_o so_o much_o circumspection_n for_o the_o future_a that_o if_o a_o gentleman_n have_v a_o garden_n big_a enough_o to_o receive_v any_o reasonable_a number_n of_o tree_n he_o may_v have_v in_o it_o all_o the_o principal_a sort_n of_o fruit_n that_o be_v to_o be_v have_v for_o every_o season_n of_o the_o year_n this_o reason_n that_o concern_v the_o contrive_n of_o a_o continual_a successive_a supply_n of_o fruit_n throughout_o all_o the_o season_n may_v prevail_v with_o i_o sometime_o in_o plantation_n to_o prefer_v a_o mean_a fruit_n before_o a_o better_a and_o that_o because_o the_o better_a come_v in_o in_o a_o time_n when_o i_o may_v have_v a_o sufficient_a provision_n of_o other_o admirable_a sort_n beside_o and_o the_o mean_a one_o come_v in_o a_o season_n when_o the_o scarcity_n of_o the_o most_o excellent_a fruit_n be_v very_o great_a we_o think_v ourselves_o very_o happy_a if_o we_o can_v be_v supply_v at_o least_o with_o some_o of_o a_o middling_a goodness_n and_o according_o for_o instance_n if_o i_o have_v but_o little_a room_n for_o dwarf_n pear-tree_n i_o will_v plant_v sometime_o a_o dry_a martin_n or_o a_o bugi_n which_o be_v pretty_a good_a winter_n pear_n before_o a_o robine_n or_o a_o musked_a summer_n boncretien_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v summer_n fruit_n much_o better_o in_o themselves_o than_o the_o two_o precedent_a one_o i_o shall_v afterward_o show_v what_o reason_n oblige_v i_o to_o follow_v this_o method_n they_o which_o as_o i_o may_v without_o vanity_n say_v know_v not_o so_o much_o in_o this_o matter_n as_o i_o do_v may_v perhaps_o be_v surprise_v at_o such_o a_o choice_n which_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o particular_a circumstance_n that_o influence_v i_o to_o make_v it_o will_v appear_v somewhat_o odd_a but_o i_o dare_v assure_v they_o they_o will_v not_o find_v it_o not_o very_o easy_a to_o censure_v my_o conduct_n if_o they_o will_v but_o allow_v themselves_o time_n to_o examine_v my_o reason_n but_o because_o if_o a_o gentleman_n be_v never_o so_o well_o experience_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o good_a sort_n of_o fruit_n he_o will_v be_v never_o the_o further_o advance_v if_o it_o be_v very_o difficult_a or_o perhaps_o impossible_a to_o find_v they_o in_o the_o nursery_n garden_n this_o be_v the_o answer_n i_o make_v to_o so_o important_a a_o difficulty_n i_o hope_v my_o exactness_n in_o the_o choice_n and_o proportion_n of_o fruit_n i_o shall_v prescribe_v will_v produce_v a_o regulation_n and_o kind_n of_o reformation_n in_o all_o nursery_n garden_n i_o mean_v that_o it_o will_v not_o only_o banish_v all_o confusion_n and_o effect_n of_o unskilfullness_n out_o of_o they_o that_o have_v be_v ill_o contrive_v but_o will_v cause_v new_a one_o to_o be_v model_v with_o all_o possible_a art_n and_o understanding_n and_o than_o it_o will_v happen_v that_o instead_o of_o graft_v any_o more_o either_o of_o those_o kind_n i_o reject_v by_o name_n or_o of_o those_o i_o name_v not_o that_o both_o of_o they_o will_v grow_v so_o much_o out_o of_o request_n that_o they_o will_v be_v but_o lose_v to_o the_o gard'ner_n and_o consequent_o they_o will_v be_v oblige_v for_o their_o own_o interest_n to_o graft_v only_o those_o which_o i_o express_v some_o esteem_n for_o whether_o they_o be_v new_a or_o ancient_a kind_n and_o none_o at_o all_o of_o the_o other_o and_o few_o of_o those_o of_o which_o few_o be_v to_o be_v plant_v and_o more_o of_o those_o of_o which_o i_o advise_v to_o plant_v the_o great_a number_n by_o which_o mean_n the_o able_a plant-merchant_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o a_o good_a and_o never-failing_a vent_n for_o their_o good_n on_o one_o side_n which_o may_v encourage_v they_o to_o do_v better_a and_o better_o and_o on_o the_o other_o all_o garden_n will_v insensible_o come_v to_o be_v establish_v upon_o a_o perfect_a model_n which_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n aim_v at_o for_o the_o pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o our_o curious_a gentleman_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o nursery_n can_v be_v bring_v into_o that_o state_n of_o perfection_n i_o have_v propose_v so_o that_o we_o may_v one_o day_n enjoy_v the_o convenience_n to_o find_v in_o they_o a_o sufficient_a store_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o good_a tree_n we_o may_v have_v occasion_n for_o now_o gentleman_n be_v inform_v by_o the_o choice_n i_o have_v express_v in_o this_o treatise_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a fruit_n of_o every_o season_n if_o they_o happen_v among_o a_o great_a number_n of_o other_o fruit_n which_o be_v reject_v to_o find_v but_o a_o part_n of_o those_o that_o be_v prize_v they_o will_v do_v well_o to_o take_v rather_o more_o of_o they_o than_o they_o first_o intend_v than_o to_o venture_v to_o meddle_v with_o any_o of_o the_o worse_a kind_n and_o in_o do_v this_o their_o best_a way_n will_v be_v to_o observe_v these_o two_o resolution_n first_o either_o to_o plant_v no_o tree_n but_o of_o those_o few_o good_a sort_n which_o they_o have_v find_v and_o to_o fill_v up_o all_o the_o place_n they_o have_v to_o fill_v whole_o with_o they_o or_o else_o to_o stay_v till_o another_o year_n to_o gain_v time_n to_o look_v for_o those_o sort_n they_o can_v not_o find_v the_o last_o rather_o than_o to_o hazard_v the_o plant_n of_o any_o unknown_a or_o doubtful_a kind_n and_o perhaps_o as_o it_o be_v very_o expedient_a they_o shall_v they_o will_v have_v so_o much_o wise_a forecast_n of_o themselves_o to_o prepare_v at_o least_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o some_o stock_n to_o graft_v those_o kind_n upon_o the_o next_o which_o they_o can_v not_o find_v the_o last_o year_n and_o which_o i_o have_v advise_v they_o to_o plant_v which_o they_o may_v do_v either_o upon_o some_o of_o those_o supernumerary_a tree_n they_o have_v already_o take_v or_o upon_o good_a wilding_n which_o they_o may_v plant_v ready_a in_o their_o assign_a place_n for_o that_o effect_n for_o to_o conclude_v in_o
