because_o you_o may_v then_o the_o more_o convenient_o tie_v bush_n about_o they_o or_o other_o provision_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o cattle_n but_o the_o wild_a choke_v pear_n that_o be_v never_o graft_v will_v make_v very_o good_a perry_n also_o one_o other_o way_n to_o plant_v a_o orchard_n may_v be_v do_v by_o plant_v of_o small_a crab-stocke_n in_o bed_n in_o some_o nursery_n as_o aforesaid_a three_o foot_n asunder_o one_o way_n and_o one_o foot_n the_o other_o way_n the_o ground_n in_o the_o say_a bed_n be_v first_o trench_v two_o foot_n deep_a and_o the_o mould_n lay_v light_a and_o the_o stock_n cut_v off_o half_a a_o foot_n above_o ground_n and_o the_o next_o year_n the_o same_o to_o be_v graft_v close_o by_o the_o ground_n or_o at_o the_o most_o four_o inch_n above_o the_o ground_n to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o the_o first_o graft_n happen_v to_o fail_v it_o may_v be_v again_o graft_v the_o second_o time_n howbeit_o some_o also_o do_v use_v to_o graft_v five_o or_o six_o foot_n high_a and_o upon_o great_a old_a stock_n the_o same_o be_v not_o great_o amiss_o howbeit_o the_o other_o way_n be_v far_o better_a as_o i_o take_v it_o for_o that_o the_o science_n so_o graft_v five_o or_o six_o foot_n high_a be_v many_o time_n break_v down_o with_o fowl_n light_v on_o they_o &_o many_o time_n break_v down_o with_o the_o wind_n in_o the_o joint_n when_o they_o be_v 3._o or_o 4._o year_n old_a which_o be_v a_o great_a displeasure_n unto_o the_o owner_n above_o all_o thing_n you_o must_v foresee_v observe_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o your_o nursery_n or_o orchard_n be_v not_o natural_o over_o wet_a or_o moist_a it_o can_v light_o be_v too_o dry_a for_o that_o the_o root_n will_v natural_o run_v downward_o until_o they_o come_v unto_o sufficient_a moisture_n but_o if_o the_o root_n of_o any_o plant_n be_v once_o set_v too_o deep_a he_o can_v help_v himself_o it_o be_v against_o nature_n for_o the_o root_n to_o grow_v upward_o but_o will_v rather_o grow_v musty_a and_o die_v the_o three_o way_n to_o plant_v a_o orchard_n be_v by_o set_v of_o slip_n of_o tree_n of_o cider_n fruit_n which_o be_v the_o speedy_a &_o ready_a way_n in_o short_a time_n to_o have_v store_n of_o such_o fruit_n but_o that_o kind_a of_o set_v do_v seldom_o prosper_v but_o only_o in_o some_o few_o especial_a kind_n of_o cider_n fruit_n as_o also_o a_o orchard_n so_o plant_v will_v not_o continue_v above_o forty_o or_o at_o the_o most_o fifty_o year_n but_o it_o will_v decay_v again_o in_o plant_v of_o a_o orchard_n the_o great_a care_n be_v to_o be_v have_v orchard_n that_o the_o ground_n be_v not_o too_o wet_a for_o that_o a_o tree_n plant_v in_o such_o ground_n can_v prosper_v or_o if_o it_o grow_v it_o will_v not_o bear_v other_o then_o spot_v and_o cappard_v fruit_n either_o apple_n pear_n or_o plum_n neither_o will_v it_o shoot_v out_o or_o grow_v in_o any_o good_a sort_n if_o your_o ground_n be_v natural_o wet_a it_o must_v be_v holpen_v with_o make_v of_o trench_n between_o every_o row_n of_o tree_n so_o as_o the_o water_n may_v drain_v away_o at_o the_o least_o three_o foot_n deep_a and_o whereas_o the_o ground_n be_v incline_v to_o moisture_n you_o be_v to_o set_v your_o tree_n very_o shallow_a as_o half_a a_o foot_n deep_a and_o rather_o to_o raise_v a_o hillock_n of_o earth_n about_o your_o tree_n root_n then_o to_o set_v your_o tree_n too_o deep_a near_o the_o water_n whatsoever_o and_o here_o note_v that_o every_o ground_n have_v a_o upper_a crust_n of_o earth_n which_o by_o the_o natural_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n &_o pleasantness_n of_o the_o air_n pierce_v the_o same_o be_v make_v more_o fruitful_a than_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v which_o upper_a crust_n in_o some_o ground_n be_v a_o foot_n some_o two_o foot_n and_o in_o some_o three_o foot_n deep_a also_o in_o some_o ground_n not_o above_o half_a a_o foot_n deep_a and_o under_o the_o same_o upper_a crust_n be_v either_o a_o hot_a chalk_n a_o dry_a sand_n a_o barren_a gravel_n or_o a_o cold_a lean_a clay_n or_o loom_n or_o such_o like_a it_o be_v therefore_o requisite_a that_o you_o set_v your_o young_a tree_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o that_o the_o root_n thereof_o may_v run_v and_o spread_v in_o that_o upper_a crust_n for_o that_o if_o you_o set_v he_o any_o deep_a you_o spoil_v all_o in_o many_o place_n in_o a_o chalk_n ground_n where_o such_o crust_n as_o aforesaid_a be_v very_o shallow_a and_o not_o past_a half_n a_o foot_n deep_a you_o shall_v see_v most_o of_o the_o root_n of_o the_o elm_n ash_n and_o other_o tree_n there_o grow_v to_o run_v natural_o even_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n above_o the_o earth_n which_o thing_n they_o do_v to_o shun_v the_o extreme_a heat_n of_o the_o chalk_n the_o like_a experience_n shall_v you_o also_o see_v in_o a_o wet_a or_o moorish_a ground_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o root_n of_o great_a tree_n to_o run_v also_o above_o the_o ground_n for_o that_o they_o do_v natural_o shun_v the_o extreme_a wet_a and_o cold_a of_o such_o ground_n the_o fat_a &_o fruitfull_a ground_n be_v not_o best_o for_o fruit_n for_o that_o the_o tree_n grow_v in_o such_o ground_n will_v be_v very_o subject_a to_o be_v eat_v with_o canker_n as_o also_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v much_o wormeaten_v i_o suppose_v the_o best_a ground_n for_o a_o orchard_n be_v a_o wheat_n ground_n or_o that_o which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o clay_n and_o sand_n but_o in_o no_o wise_a incline_v to_o wet_a or_o spring_n of_o water_n if_o you_o plant_v your_o tree_n twenty_o foot_n one_o way_n and_o thirty_o foot_n the_o other_o thereof_o you_o may_v then_o very_o convenient_o either_o plough_n broad_a ridge_n or_o mow_v your_o orchard_n between_o every_o rank_n of_o tree_n and_o such_o plow_a will_n also_o do_v good_a unto_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n especial_o if_o you_o turn_v your_o ground_n upward_o unto_o the_o root_n of_o your_o tree_n some_o three_o or_o four_o plowing_n together_o make_v your_o forrow_n in_o the_o midst_n between_o every_o rank_n of_o tree_n especial_o whereas_o the_o ground_n be_v incline_v to_o wet_v it_o be_v also_o requisite_a that_o the_o place_n where_o you_o set_v your_o tree_n be_v dig_v wide_a and_o deep_a to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o root_n may_v have_v loose_a earth_n to_o run_v into_o by_o which_o mean_v the_o root_n spread_v and_o increase_v it_o will_v send_v out_o the_o more_o nourishment_n and_o strength_n into_o the_o top_n also_o when_o you_o plant_v your_o young_a tree_n in_o your_o orchard_n it_o be_v requisite_a to_o cut_v off_o all_o the_o top_n otherwise_o he_o will_v be_v in_o danger_n to_o die_v the_o next_o summer_n by_o reason_n the_o root_n can_v the_o first_o year_n be_v able_a to_o give_v nourishment_n unto_o many_o bough_n &_o branch_n many_o covet_v to_o have_v their_o tree_n six_o or_o seven_o foot_n high_a before_o they_o branch_n out_o in_o top_n but_o i_o have_v find_v very_o great_a inconvenience_n in_o so_o do_v for_o that_o when_o such_o tree_n come_v to_o bear_v fruit_n the_o body_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o sustain_v the_o top_n but_o that_o they_o will_v bend_v down_o and_o often_o time_n break_v in_o sunder_o with_o the_o weight_n of_o fruit_n but_o to_o branch_n at_o some_o four_o foot_n in_o height_n i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o best_a especial_o where_o come_v no_o cattle_n to_o crop_v they_o in_o my_o opinion_n there_o be_v no_o fruit_n to_o be_v compare_v unto_o the_o pippin_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o subject_a unto_o the_o canker_n as_o it_o be_v there_o be_v many_o kind_n of_o good_a apple_n howbeit_o will_v not_o bear_v pass_v once_o in_o five_o or_o six_o year_n to_o any_o purpose_n some_o other_o kind_n will_v bear_v every_o second_o year_n exceed_v full_a of_o both_o which_o sort_n i_o have_v diverse_a kind_n howbeit_o can_v give_v proper_a name_n to_o every_o of_o they_o the_o good_a bear_a fruit_n be_v fit_a for_o cider_n so_o it_o be_v also_o natural_o moist_a and_o not_o dry_a howbeit_o the_o pear_n make_v the_o more_o delicate_a drink_n then_o the_o apple_n will_v do_v and_o i_o have_v see_v some_o perrie_n of_o that_o strength_n that_o it_o will_v warm_v the_o stomach_n even_o like_o white_a wine_n and_o taste_v as_o pleasant_o and_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o a_o ground_n plant_v with_o wild_a pear_n otherwise_o call_v choke_v pear_n will_v be_v very_o beneficial_a unto_o the_o owner_n for_o that_o such_o kind_n of_o fruit_n be_v fit_a for_o perrie_a as_o also_o for_o the_o most_o part_n do_v bear_v very_o full_a every_o year_n and_o until_o your_o tree_n be_v of_o some_o ten_o or_o

twelve_o year_n growth_n you_o may_v take_v commodity_n by_o plough_v or_o mow_v your_o ground_n and_o graze_v the_o same_o with_o horse_n and_o afterward_o by_o mow_v and_o graze_v the_o same_o with_o any_o other_o cattle_n especial_o if_o you_o set_v your_o tree_n twenty_o foot_n asunder_o one_o way_n and_o thirty_o foot_n another_o way_n as_o aforesaid_a the_o pear_n will_v prosper_v in_o a_o ground_n incline_v to_o wet_v better_a than_o the_o apple_n will_v do_v there_o be_v a_o disease_n in_o tree_n which_o be_v call_v a_o canker_n whereunto_o the_o pippin_n chief_o be_v great_o subject_a and_o the_o same_o do_v spoil_v many_o tree_n i_o know_v no_o better_a remedy_n for_o the_o same_o then_o to_o cut_v it_o cleave_v out_o in_o the_o winter_n time_n which_o oftentimes_o do_v help_v the_o same_o so_o that_o the_o bark_n will_v again_o overgrow_v the_o sore_n and_o do_v well_o but_o if_o it_o have_v once_o go_v more_o than_o half_a about_o the_o tree_n it_o will_v hardly_o be_v ever_o recover_v and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o best_a and_o most_o delicate_a fruit_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o this_o infirmity_n it_o may_v be_v here_o expect_v i_o shall_v treat_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o graft_v as_o to_o graft_v in_o the_o cleave_a in_o the_o leaf_n in_o the_o noch_fw-ge or_o otherwise_o but_o sure_o for_o apple_n pear_n or_o most_o kind_a of_o plum_n i_o have_v find_v to_o graft_v in_o the_o cleft_n some_o four_o inch_n above_o the_o ground_n to_o be_v the_o best_a howbeit_o the_o abricocke_n plum_n the_o vine_n and_o such_o other_o as_o have_v great_a store_n of_o pith_n they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v graft_v in_o the_o leaf_n or_o eye_n as_o the_o call_v it_o the_o three_o way_n to_o graft_v in_o the_o noch_fw-ge the_o cyent_a must_v be_v in_o effect_n as_o great_a as_o the_o stock_n and_o such_o graft_n for_o the_o most_o part_n grow_v to_o be_v top_n heavy_a and_o therefore_o that_o kind_n of_o graft_v to_o no_o great_a purpose_n in_o my_o opinion_n some_o writer_n teach_v that_o apple_n may_v be_v graft_v upon_o the_o willow_n the_o elm_n the_o ash_n alder_n and_o such_o other_o but_o a_o man_n have_v better_o be_v without_o
