diffuse_v the_o chief_a virtue_n thereof_o shall_v spend_v itself_o upon_o the_o seed_v sotion_n say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n plant_v onion_n he_o must_v cut_v off_o both_o the_o top_n and_o the_o tail_n thereof_o that_o so_o they_o may_v grow_v to_o a_o great_a bigness_n then_o ordinary_a palladius_n say_v that_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v great-headed_n onion_n we_o must_v cut_v off_o all_o the_o blade_n that_o so_o the_o juice_n may_v be_v force_v down_o to_o the_o low_a part_n in_o like_a manner_n if_o we_o will_v have_v garlick-head_n great_a than_o common_a we_o must_v take_v all_o the_o greenish_a substance_n thereof_o before_o it_o be_v blade_a and_o turn_v it_o downward_o that_o so_o it_o may_v grow_v into_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v yet_o another_o device_n whereby_o to_o make_v herb_n and_o root_n grow_v big_a than_o ordinary_a but_o yet_o i_o like_v not_o so_o well_o of_o it_o howsoever_o many_o ancient_a writer_n have_v set_v it_o down_o and_o first_o how_o to_o make_v leek_n grow_v great_a columella_n have_v prescribe_v this_o course_n you_o must_v take_v a_o great_a many_o leek-seed_n and_o bind_v they_o together_o in_o thin_a linen_n clout_n and_o so_o cast_v they_o into_o the_o ground_n and_o they_o will_v yield_v large_a and_o great_a leek_n which_o thing_n palladius_n also_o confirm_v by_o his_o authority_n in_o the_o very_a same_o word_n but_o both_o of_o they_o have_v it_o out_o of_o theophrastus_n who_o put_v it_o for_o a_o general_a rule_n that_o if_o a_o man_n sow_v many_o seed_n bind_v up_o together_o in_o a_o linen_n cloth_n it_o will_v cause_v both_o the_o root_n to_o be_v large_a and_o the_o bud_n to_o be_v large_a also_o and_o therefore_o in_o his_o time_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o sow_v leek_n parsly_n and_o other_o herb_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n for_o they_o be_v of_o more_o force_n when_o there_o be_v many_o seed_n together_o all_o of_o they_o concur_v into_o one_o nature_n moreover_o it_o make_v not_o a_o little_a to_o the_o enlarge_n of_o fruit_n to_o take_v the_o seed_n which_o we_o will_v sow_v out_o of_o some_o certain_a part_n of_o the_o former_a fruit_n as_o for_o example_n we_o shall_v procure_v a_o gourd_n of_o a_o great_a or_o large_a growth_n if_o we_o take_v the_o seed_n out_o of_o the_o middle_n of_o a_o gourd_n and_o set_v it_o with_o the_o top_n downward_o this_o course_n columella_n prescribe_v in_o his_o hortulus_fw-la look_v say_v he_o where_o the_o gourd_n swell_v most_o and_o be_v of_o the_o large_a compass_n thence_o even_o out_o of_o the_o middle_n thereof_o you_o must_v take_v your_o seed_n and_o that_o will_v yield_v you_o the_o large_a fruit_n and_o this_o be_v experience_v not_o in_o gourd_n only_o but_o also_o in_o all_o other_o fruit_n for_o the_o seed_n which_o grow_v in_o the_o bowel_n or_o belly_n as_o it_o be_v of_o any_o fruit_n be_v common_o most_o perfect_a and_o yield_v most_o perfect_a fruit_n whereas_o the_o seed_n that_o grow_v in_o the_o outward_a part_n produce_v for_o the_o most_o part_n weak_a &_o unperfect_a fruit_n likewise_o the_o grain_n that_o be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o ear_n yield_v the_o best_a corn_n whereas_o both_o the_o high_a and_o the_o low_a be_v not_o so_o perfect_a but_o because_o gourd_n yield_v great_a increase_n therefore_o the_o experience_n hereof_o be_v more_o evident_o in_o they_o then_o in_o any_o other_o cucumber_n will_v be_v of_o a_o great_a growth_n as_o the_o quintiles_fw-la say_v if_o the_o seed_n be_v set_v with_o their_o head_n downward_o or_o else_o if_o you_o set_v a_o vessel_n full_a of_o water_n under_o they_o in_o the_o ground_n that_o so_o the_o root_n may_v be_v drench_v therein_o for_o we_o have_v know_v they_o grow_v both_o sweet_a and_o great_a by_o this_o device_n chap._n xii_o how_o to_o produce_v fruit_n that_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o stone_n or_o kernel_n in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o receive_a thing_n in_o philosophy_n especial_o among_o those_o that_o have_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o the_o choice_a and_o nice_a point_n of_o husbandry_n that_o if_o you_o take_v quicksets_a or_o any_o branch_n that_o you_o will_v plant_v and_o get_v out_o the_o pith_n of_o they_o with_o some_o ear-picker_n or_o any_o like_a instrument_n make_v of_o bone_n they_o will_v yield_v fruit_n without_o any_o stone_n and_o without_o any_o kernel_n for_o it_o be_v the_o pith_n that_o both_o breed_v and_o nourish_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o kernel_n but_o the_o arcadian_n be_v of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a opinion_n for_o say_v they_o every_o tree_n that_o have_v any_o pith_n in_o it_o at_o all_o will_v live_v but_o if_o all_o the_o pith_n be_v take_v out_o of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o yield_v any_o stoneless_a fruit_n that_o it_o can_v choose_v but_o die_v and_o be_v quite_o dry_v up_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o pith_n be_v the_o moiste_v and_o most_o lively_a part_n of_o any_o tree_n or_o plant_n for_o the_o nourishment_n which_o the_o ground_n send_v up_o into_o any_o plant_n be_v convey_v especial_o by_o the_o pith_n into_o all_o the_o other_o part_n for_o nature_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o that_o all_o the_o part_n draw_v their_o nourishment_n as_o it_o be_v their_o soul_n and_o their_o breath_n through_o the_o marrow_n or_o pith_n of_o the_o stock_n as_o it_o be_v through_o a_o squirt_n or_o conduit-pipe_n which_o may_v appear_v by_o experience_n see_v any_o bough_n or_o stalk_n so_o soon_o as_o the_o marrow_n be_v go_v return_n and_o crook_n backward_o till_o it_o be_v quite_o dry_v up_o as_o the_o ancient_n have_v show_v but_o i_o for_o my_o part_n must_v needs_o hold_v both_o against_o theophrastus_n and_o against_o other_o also_o that_o have_v write_v of_o husbandry_n both_o that_o tree_n may_v live_v after_o their_o marrow_n be_v take_v from_o they_o and_o also_o that_o they_o will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n have_v stone_n or_o kernel_n in_o they_o though_o there_o be_v no_o pith_n in_o the_o tree_n themselves_o as_o i_o have_v show_v more_o at_o large_a in_o my_o book_n of_o husbandry_n notwithstanding_o lest_o i_o shall_v omit_v any_o thing_n belong_v to_o this_o argument_n i_o have_v think_v good_a here_o to_o set_v down_o the_o example_n which_o those_o ancient_n have_v deliver_v in_o writing_n that_o every_o man_n that_o list_n may_v make_v trial_n hereof_o and_o haply_o some_o among_o the_o rest_n use_v great_a diligence_n in_o the_o proof_n hereof_o then_o i_o do_v may_v find_v better_a success_n herein_o then_o i_o have_v find_v there_o be_v many_o mean_n whereby_o plant_n may_v be_v deprive_v of_o kernel_n as_o namely_o by_o engraff_n by_o take_v out_o their_o pith_n by_o soil_v with_o dung_n or_o by_o water_v and_o by_o other_o device_n we_o will_v first_o begin_v as_o our_o wont_a manner_n be_v with_o engraff_n and_o will_v show_v how_o to_o produce_v a_o peach-apple_n without_o a_o stone_n palladius_n say_v he_o learn_v this_o new_a kind_n of_o engraff_n of_o a_o certain_a spaniard_n which_o he_o say_v also_o he_o have_v experience_v in_o a_o peach-tree_n take_v a_o willow-bough_n about_o the_o thickness_n of_o a_o man_n arm_n but_o it_o must_v be_v very_o sound_a and_o two_o yard_n long_o at_o the_o least_o bear_v it_o through_o the_o middle_n and_o carry_v it_o where_o a_o young_a peach-tree_n grow_v then_o strip_v off_o all_o the_o peach-tree-sprig_n all_o but_o the_o very_a top_n and_o draw_v it_o through_o the_o hole_n of_o the_o willow-bough_n then_o stick_v both_o end_n of_o the_o willow_n into_o the_o ground_n that_o it_o may_v stand_v bend_v like_o a_o bow_n and_o fill_v up_o the_o hole_n that_o you_o bore_v with_o dirt_n and_o moss_n &_o bind_v they_o in_o with_o thong_n about_o a_o year_n after_o when_o the_o peach-tree_n and_o the_o willow_n be_v incorporate_v into_o each_o other_o cut_v the_o plant_n beneath_o the_o join_a place_n and_o remove_v it_o and_o cover_v both_o the_o willow-bough_n and_o the_o top_n of_o the_o plant_n also_o with_o earth_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o shall_v procure_v peach_n without_o stone_n but_o this_o must_v be_v do_v in_o moist_a and_o waterish_a place_n and_o beside_o the_o willow_n must_v be_v relieve_v with_o continual_a water_v that_o so_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o wood_n may_v be_v cherish_v as_o it_o delight_v in_o moisture_n and_o it_o may_v
