replantation_n be_v not_o engage_v to_o maintain_v too_o many_o sucker_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v with_o such_o discretion_n that_o the_o top-branch_n be_v not_o too_o close_o together_o for_o the_o natural_a plant_n be_v apt_a to_o grow_v spiry_n and_o thereby_o fail_v of_o fruitfulness_n therefore_o let_v the_o reserve_a branch_n be_v divide_v at_o a_o convenient_a roundness_n the_o branch_n that_o be_v cut_v off_o may_v be_v set_v and_o will_v grow_v but_o slow_o if_o the_o top_n prove_v spiry_n or_o the_o fruit_n unkind_a than_o the_o due_a remedy_n must_v be_v in_o graft_n neither_o be_v graft_n to_o be_v use_v only_o as_o a_o remedy_n for_o it_o do_v most_o certain_o improve_v the_o kind_n of_o the_o fruit_n insomuch_o that_o a_o graft_n of_o the_o same_o fruit_n do_v meliorate_v the_o fruit_n as_o be_v late_o much_o observe_v by_o our_o welsh_a neighbour_n who_o do_v graft_v the_o gennet-moil_n upon_o the_o same_o stock_n and_o thereby_o obtain_v a_o large_a apple_n more_o juicy_a and_o better_a for_o all_o use_n and_o some_o triplicate_v their_o graff_n for_o a_o curiosity_n upon_o the_o same_o account_n and_o it_o be_v note_v among_o we_o that_o a_o pearmain_a or_o any_o other_o pleasant_a fruit_n either_o for_o cider_n or_o the_o table_n be_v much_o sweet_a if_o graft_v upon_o the_o stock_n of_o a_o gennet-moil_n or_o kydoddin_n than_o if_o graft_v on_o a_o crab-stock_n though_o much_o less_o last_a upon_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o gennet-moil_n the_o gennet-moil_n be_v also_o less_o last_v especial_o among_o we_o where_o they_o be_v general_o plant_v of_o large_a settle_n which_o must_v needs_o wound_v they_o in_o their_o very_a beginning_n and_o therefore_o hinder_v their_o duration_n also_o graft_n do_v much_o precipitate_a or_o at_o least_o expedite_a the_o reward_n especial_o if_o the_o graft_n be_v take_v from_o a_o branch_n that_o have_v some_o year_n constant_o bear_v sound_a fruit_n plentiful_o trust_v not_o to_o

end_n and_o in_o this_o point_n i_o have_v insinuate_v some_o part_n of_o my_o paradox_n by_o the_o way_n of_o a_o story_n and_o in_o pretence_n of_o defend_v another_o against_o the_o opinion_n and_o

close_o to_o his_o sense_n he_o add_v that_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o natural_a plant_n do_v grow_v better_a and_o pleasant_a by_o time_n as_o better_a at_o thirty_o year_n growth_n than_o at_o twenty_o year_n growth_n this_o i_o know_v not_o see_v chap._n 7._o pag._n 18_o 19_o also_o he_o require_v much_o more_o distance_n of_o the_o tree_n than_o we_o observe_v as_o sixty_o foot_n at_o

yard_n that_o the_o team_n may_v not_o annoy_v the_o tree_n and_o than_o the_o tree_n bear_v a_o full_a load_n of_o fruit_n and_o spread_v to_o the_o natural_a perfection_n this_o i_o add_v that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o tree_n grow_v tall_a and_o shadow_v more_o in_o summer_n and_o keep_v off_o wind_n better_a in_o winter_n and_o the_o fruit_n the_o sweet_a than_o you_o shall_v plant_v the_o close_o together_o yet_o never_o near_a than_o twenty_o foot_n to_o conclude_v my_o paradox_n he_o that_o be_v provide_v of_o a_o nursery_n need_v not_o be_v very_o nice_o provident_a for_o the_o longevity_n of_o his_o tree_n a_o small_a parcel_n of_o ground_n will_v furnish_v store_n for_o all_o his_o ground_n and_o for_o all_o his_o neighbourhood_n to_o play_v away_o upon_o graff_n and_o novel_a experiment_n and_o to_o encourage_v this_o nursery_n i_o now_o sum_v up_o all_o with_o my_o last_o paradox_n that_o for_o these_o four_o last_o year_n whereof_o two_o be_v very_o dry_a summer_n i_o lay_v the_o fruitful_a spray_n of_o natural_a apple-plant_n in_o the_o ground_n some_o very_a small_a not_o two_o foot_n above_o ground_n all_o thereabout_a and_o from_o the_o first_o summer_n to_o this_o present_a spring_n they_o never_o fail_v to_o bear_v as_o thick_a as_o trace_n of_o onion_n but_o it_o be_v better_a for_o the_o plant_n if_o you_o pull_v off_o the_o young_a apple_n soon_o after_o they_o be_v knit_v the_o first_o year_n at_o least_o some_o i_o lay_v also_o of_o four_o yard_n length_n under_o ground_n the_o spray_n lie_v slope_n above_o ground_n these_o grow_v and_o bear_v incredible_o other_o i_o slope_v and_o pare_v away_o the_o border_a turf_n that_o the_o reflect_a sun_n may_v give_v i_o the_o early_a benefit_n of_o a_o dwarf_n orchard_n and_o these_o against_o midsummer_n be_v as_o big_a as_o a_o lady_n fist_n i_o present_v they_o to_o store_n of_o witness_n if_o i_o dwell_v near_o cheapside_n i_o shall_v make_v my_o new-planted_a nursery_n as_o rich_a as_o a_o orchard_n all_o natural_a apple_n be_v not_o of_o this_o precocity_n the_o more_o durable_a as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v much_o more_o sullen_a some_o require_v a_o knot_n for_o the_o root_n other_o not_o all_o three_o the_o better_a for_o it_o to_o some_o a_o small_a slice_n from_o the_o bark_n be_v as_o good_a before_o december_n whilst_o the_o spray_n grow_v on_o the_o tree_n by_o the_o bluntness_n of_o the_o bud_n you_o may_v discover_v what_o branch_n will_v bear_v fruit_n the_o next_o summer_n immediate_o follow_v if_o you_o cut_v off_o the_o branch_n and_o set_v it_o before_o the_o bud_n be_v sprout_v too_o far_o forward_a as_o you_o may_v in_o february_n or_o the_o beginning_n of_o march_n this_o with_o some_o will_v pass_v as_o a_o prophecy_n a_o sore_a blast_n or_o may-frost_n may_v deceive_v you_o of_o these_o natural_a apple_n there_o be_v not_o past_o six_o or_o seven_o kind_n distinguish_v by_o proper_a name_n among_o we_o i_o conceive_v they_o can_v never_o be_v distinguish_v for_o that_o every_o individual_a always_o assume_v a_o peculiar_a nature_n from_o the_o infinite_a variety_n of_o compost_n in_o this_o nursery_n it_o be_v the_o same_o pain_n and_o no_o charge_n to_o try_v the_o seed_n of_o firre_n pine_n cypress_n pitch_n etc._n etc._n which_o prove_v better_o for_o replantation_n than_o in_o hot_a bed_n of_o the_o art_n of_o graft_n either_o with_o the_o ciens_fw-la bud_n or_o leaf_n i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o because_o every_o village_n among_o we_o yield_v store_n of_o artist_n and_o many_o book_n show_v the_o rule_n but_o in_o these_o thing_n a_o artist_n can_v teach_v more_o in_o a_o day_n than_o a_o book_n in_o a_o month_n one_o reason_n why_o fruit_n do_v so_o abound_v in_o this_o county_n be_v for_o that_o no_o man_n have_v of_o late_a year_n build_v he_o a_o house_n but_o with_o special_a regard_n to_o the_o proximity_n of_o some_o ground_n fit_a for_o a_o orchard_n which_o shall_v
