A49545 Plain and full instructions to raise all sorts of fruit-trees that prosper in England in that method and order, that everything must be done in, to give all the advantage, may be, to every tree as it is rising from its seed, till it come to its full growth : together with all necessary directions about those several ways of making plantations, either of wall-fruit, or dwarf-trees in gardens, or large standard-trees in orchards or fields : touching which last, because it's so vast in improvement of land, all the profitable and practical ways are here directed to with all exactness : and in the last place the best directions are given for making liquors of the several sorts of fruit / by T.

you_o intend_v to_o cut_v they_o off_o at_o for_o about_o a_o foot_n in_o length_n fasten_v about_o they_o some_o earth_n in_o a_o old_a hat_n or_o boot_n or_o bag_n make_v of_o some_o strong_a

have_v no_o burr_n before_o you_o go_v either_o of_o these_o way_n to_o work_v than_o first_o take_v off_o here_o and_o there_o a_o little_a slice_n of_o bark_n about_o a_o inch_n long_o round_o

and_o in_o great_a plenty_n in_o the_o summer_n to_o furnish_v the_o tree_n with_o leaf_n fruit_n and_o new_a yearly_a growth_n and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o leaf_n and_o fruit_n fall_v

the_o juice_n or_o sap_n which_o rife_n in_o great_a quantity_n betwixt_o the_o bark_n and_o the_o wood_n but_o if_o as_o before_o be_v hint_v you_o take_v some_o little_a slice_n of_o the_o bark_n
