you_o have_v no_o ground_n to_o plant_v your_o orchard_n upon_o but_o such_o as_o either_o through_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o river_n descent_n of_o mountain_n or_o the_o earth_n be_v own_o

and_o not_o above_o twelve_o foot_n betwixt_o ditch_n and_o ditch_n upon_o which_o reserve_v earth_n cast_v the_o earth_n that_o you_o dig_v up_o you_o shall_v raise_v the_o bank_n at_o least_o

a_o year_n or_o more_o and_o be_v sufficient_o settle_v you_o may_v then_o at_o the_o nether_a end_n of_o the_o bank_n near_o to_o the_o verge_n of_o the_o water_n plant_v store_n of_o osyers_n which_o will_v be_v a_o good_a defence_n to_o the_o bank_n and_o upon_o the_o top_n and_o high_a part_n of_o the_o bank_n you_o shall_v plant_v your_o orchard_n and_o fruit-trée_n so_o that_o when_o

of_o a_o orchard_n chap._n ii_o of_o the_o nursery_n where_o you_o shall_v set_v all_o manner_n of_o kernel_n and_o stone_n for_o the_o furnish_n of_o the_o orchard_n although_o great_a person_n out_o of_o their_o greatness_n and_o ability_n do_v buy_v their_o fruit_n tree_n ready_a graft_v and_o so_o in_o a_o moment_n may_v plant_v a_o orchard_n of_o the_o great_a quantity_n yet_o since_o the_o husbandman_n must_v raise_v every_o thing_n from_o his_o own_o endeavour_n and_o that_o i_o only_o write_v for_o his_o profit_n i_o therefore_o hold_v it_o most_o convenient_a to_o begin_v with_o the_o nursery_n or_o store-house_n of_o fruit_n from_o whence_o the_o orchard_n receive_v his_o beauty_n and_o ●iches_n this_o nursery_n must_v be_v a_o piece_n of_o principal_a ground_n either_o

they_o be_v first_o kernel_n or_o stone_n after_o sprig_n and_o last_o tree_n now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o choose_v sow_v and_o plant_v they_o in_o this_o nursery_n i_o differ_v some_o thing_n from_o the_o french_a practice_n who_o will_v choose_v the_o kernel_n from_o the_o cider_n press_v sow_v they_o in_o large_a bed_n of_o earth_n and_o within_o a_o year_n after_o replant_v they_o in_o a_o wild_a orchard_n now_o for_o my_o own_o part_n though_o this_o course_n be_v not_o much_o faulty_a yet_o i_o rather_o choose_v this_o kind_n of_o practice_n first_o to_o choose_v your_o kernel_n either_o of_o apple_n pear_n or_o warden_n from_o the_o best_a and_o most_o princpal_a fruit_n you_o can_v tasté_n for_o although_o the_o kernel_n do_v bring_v forth_o no_o other_o tree_n but_o the_o plain_a stock_n upon_o which_o the_o fruit_n be_v graft_v as_o thus_o if_o the_o graft_n be_v put_v into_o a_o crabstock_n the_o kernel_n bring_v forth_o only_a a_o crabtree_n yet_o when_o you_o taste_v a_o perfect_a and_o delicate_a apple_n be_v assure_v both_o the_o stock_n and_o graft_n be_v of_o the_o best_a choice_n and_o so_o such_o kernel_n of_o best_a reckon_n when_o you_o have_v then_o a_o competent_a quantity_n of_o such_o kernel_n you_o shall_v take_v certain_a large_a pot_n in_o the_o fashion_n of_o milkeboule_n all_o full_a of_o hole_n in_o the_o bottom_n through_o which_o the_o rain_n and_o superfluous_a moisture_n may_v avoid_v and_o either_o in_o the_o month_n of_o march_n or_o november_n for_o those_o be_v the_o best_a season_n fill_v the_o pot_n three_o part_n full_a of_o the_o fine_a black_a and_o rich_a mould_n you_o can_v get_v then_o lay_v your_o kernel_n upon_o the_o earth_n about_o four_o finger_n one_o from_o another_o so_o many_o as_o the_o vessel_n can_v convenient_o contain_v and_o then_o with_o a_o sieve_n sift_v upon_o they_o other_o fine_a mould_n almost_o three_o finger_n thick_a and_o so_o let_v ●hem_fw-mi rest_n fill_v so_o many_o pot_n or_o vessel_n as_o shall_v serve_v to_o receive_v your_o quantity_n of_o kernel_n of_o all_o sort_n now_o if_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o know_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o rather_o desire_v to_o set_v my_o kernel_n rather_o in_o vessel_n then_o in_o bed_n of_o earth_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o have_v often_o find_v it_o in_o my_o experience_n that_o the_o kernel_n of_o apple_n pear_n quince_n and_o such_o like_a be_v such_o a_o tender_a and_o dainty_a seed_n that_o it_o be_v great_a odo●●_n but_o the_o worm_n will_v devour_v and_o consume_v they_o before_o they_o sprout_v who_o natural_o delight_v in_o such_o seed_n which_o these_o vessel_n only_o do_v prevent_v but_o to_o proceed_v after_o your_o kernel_n be_v sprout_v up_o and_o grow_v to_o be_v at_o least_o seven_o or_o eight_o inch_n high_a you_o shall_v then_o within_o in_o your_o nursery_n dig_v up_o a_o border_n about_o two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a broad_a more_o than_o a_o foot_n deep_a and_o of_o such_o convenient_a length_n as_o may_v receive_v all_o your_o young_a plant_n and_o have_v make_v the_o mould_n fine_a and_o rich_a with_o manure_n you_o shall_v then_o with_o your_o whole_a hand_n gripe_v as_o much_o of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v about_o the_o plant_n as_o you_o can_v convenient_o hold_v and_o so_o take_v both_o the_o plant_n and_o the_o mould_n out_o of_o the_o vessel_n and_o replant_v it_o in_o the_o new_a dress_v border_n and_o you_o shall_v thus_o do_v plant_n after_o plant_n till_o you_o have_v set_v every_o one_o and_o make_v they_o firm_a and_o fast_o in_o the_o new_a mould_n wherein_o you_o be_v to_o observe_v these_o two_o principle_n first_o that_o you_o place_v they_o at_o least_o five_o foot_n one_o from_o another_o and_o second_o that_o such_o kernel_n as_o you_o set_v in_o your_o vessel_n in_o march_n that_o you_o replant_v they_o in_o border_n of_o earth_n in_o november_n follow_v and_o such_o as_o you_o set_v in_o november_n to_o replant_v in_o march_n follow_v and_o be_v so_o replant_v to_o suffer_v they_o to_o grow_v till_o they_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v graft_n during_o which_o time_n you_o shall_v diligent_o observe_v that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o chance_n to_o put_v forth_o any_o superfluous_a branch_n or_o cyon_n which_o may_v hinder_v the_o growth_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o plant_n that_o you_o careful_o cut_v they_o away_o that_o thereby_o it_o may_v be_v the_o soon_o enable_v to_o bear_v a_o graft_n for_o it_o be_v ever_o to_o be_v intend_v that_o whatsoever_o proceed_v from_o kernel_n be_v only_o to_o be_v preserve_v for_o stock_n to_o graft_v on_o and_o for_o no_o other_o purpose_n now_o for_o the_o stone_n of_o plumb_n &_o other_o stone_n fruit_n you_o shall_v understand_v that_o they_o be_v of_o two_o kind_n one_o simple_a and_o of_o themselves_o as_o the_o rye-plumbe_a wheate-plumbe_a damson_n prune-plumbe_a horse-clogge_n cherry_n and_o such_o like_a so_o that_o from_o the_o kernel_n of_o they_o issue_v

stock_n be_v upon_o which_o they_o be_v graft_v now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o set_v the_o first_o which_o be_v simple_a and_o uncompounded_a you_o shall_v dig_v up_o a_o large_a bed_n of_o rich_a and_o good_a earth_n a_o month_n or_o more_o before_o march_n or_o november_n and_o have_v make_v the_o mould_n as_o fine_a as_o be_v possible_a you_o shall_v flat-wise_a thrust_v every_o stone_n a_o

apple-trée_n plant_n and_o other_o now_o for_o the_o kernel_n of_o your_o compound_a or_o graft_v plumb_n you_o shall_v both_o set_v they_o in_o bed_n and_o replant_v they_o into_o several_a border_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o you_o do_v the_o other_o kernel_n of_o plumb_n only_o you_o shall_v for_o the_o space_n of_o eight_o and_o forty_o hour_n before_o you_o set_v they_o steep_v they_o in_o new_a milk_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o stone_n of_o they_o be_v more_o hard_a and_o with_o great_a difficulty_n open_a and_o sprout_v in_o the_o earth_n than_o any_o other_o stone_n whatsoever_o and_o thus_o have_v furnish_v your_o nursery_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o fruit_n and_o stock_n you_o shall_v when_o they_o come_v to_o full_a age_n and_o bigness_n graft_v they_o in_o such_o order_n as_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o declare_v chap._n iii_o of_o the_o set_n or_o plant_v of_o the_o cyon_n or_o branch_n of_o most_o sort_n of_o fruit-tree_n as_o you_o be_v to_o furnish_v your_o nursery_n with_o all_o sort_n of_o kernel_n and_o stone_n for_o the_o breed_v of_o stock_n where_o on_o to_o graft_v the_o dainty_a fruit_n you_o can_v compass_v so_o shall_v you_o also_o plant_v therein_o

of_o this_o tree_n be_v not_o to_o be_v remove_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o it_o be_v plant_v where_o it_o shall_v ever_o continue_v in_o like_a manner_n to_o the_o seruice-tree_n so_o you_o shall_v plant_v the_o bastard_n cyon_n of_o the_o meblar-trée_n either_o in_o march_n or_o october_n and_o at_o the_o wain_n of_o the_o moon_n now_o for_o the_o filbert_n or_o large_a
