may_v supply_v that_o loss_n for_o tree_n grow_v close_o together_o be_v apt_a to_o save_v one_o another_o and_o to_o shelter_v themselves_o from_o the_o frost_n cold_a wind_n and_o blast_n beside_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o the_o dwellinghouse_n barn_n and_o other_o outhouse_n will_v afford_v security_n likewise_o it_o be_v true_a such_o little_a orchard_n can_v be_v plow_v where_o the_o tree_n stand_v so_o thick_a in_o this_o case_n therefore_o the_o ground_n must_v be_v dug_n which_o method_n though_o it_o be_v more_o expensive_a will_v turn_v to_o the_o great_a advantage_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o return_v a_o plentiful_a crop_n of_o bean_n or_o other_o garden-stuff_n and_o upon_o this_o account_v it_o be_v that_o tree_n grow_v in_o garden_n or_o near_o a_o house_n in_o such_o order_n as_o i_o have_v describe_v prosper_v very_o well_o when_o other_o be_v smite_v it_o be_v good_a likewise_o to_o have_v tree_n grow_v in_o hedge_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o such_o hedge_n will_v shelter_v they_o from_o the_o bluster_a wind_n and_o from_o the_o nip_a frost_n and_o although_o such_o hedge-rowes_a do_v not_o yield_v so_o large_a a_o crop_n and_o be_v troublesome_a
