august_n for_o those_o sort_n of_o tree_n that_o hold_v their_o leave_n and_o october_n for_o those_o tree_n that_o cast_v their_o leave_n in_o winter_n those_o sort_n of_o tree_n that_o do_v grow_v of_o cut_n be_v common_a therefore_o you_o may_v take_v your_o choice_n the_o better_a for_o the_o bigness_n of_o your_o cut_n which_o i_o advise_v you_o to_o let_v be_v from_o half_a a_o inch_n to_o one_o inch_n diameter_n if_o they_o be_v less_o than_o half_a a_o inch_n diameter_n than_o they_o will_v be_v weak_a with_o a_o great_a pith_n which_o pith_n will_v take_v wet_a and_o be_v likely_a

one_o inch_n diameter_n than_o the_o top_n of_o your_o cut_v will_v be_v long_o in_o cover_v over_o therefore_o may_v somewhat_o decay_v your_o cut_v by_o the_o wet_a lie_v on_o the_o head_n so_o

in_o a_o loose_a hollow_a ground_n and_o then_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o tap-root_n it_o put_v forth_o feed_v root_n and_o when_o this_o tree_n come_v to_o be_v pretty_a big_a it_o have_v few_o

to_o be_v take_v up_o with_o the_o tree_n when_o it_o be_v remove_v again_o last_o custom_n in_o remove_v of_o tree_n tend_v somewhat_o to_o their_o grow_v be_v remove_v for_o i_o sansie_n that_o if_o
