difference_n of_o shallow_a and_o starvy_a land_n in_o all_o these_o barren_a province_n as_o good_a store_n of_o undeceive_a orchard_n as_o in_o the_o rich_a vale_n of_o the_o county_n even_o by_o

certain_a blessing_n every_o second_o year_n this_o be_v also_o allow_v that_o some_o soil_n and_o some_o air_n be_v more_o agreeable_a for_o some_o kind_n of_o fruit_n than_o for_o other_o as_o for_o example_n worcestershire_n be_v more_o proper_a for_o pear_n and_o cherry_n than_o herefordshire_n and_o herefordshire_n more_o proper_a for_o apple_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n may_v in_o part_n appear_v by_o this_o follow_a illustration_n where_o the_o turf_n be_v very_o shallow_a the_o rough_a starvy_a ground_n which_o in_o this_o country_n we_o wrongful_o call_v marle_n hinder_v the_o tender_a root_n of_o the_o appletree_n from_o descend_v deep_a enough_o for_o due_a nourishment_n and_o fit_a shelter_n there_o as_o in_o the_o ground_n which_o we_o esteem_v the_o most_o

also_o by_o the_o rind_n of_o the_o tree_n smooth_a bright-coloured_a and_o free_a from_o moss_n this_o we_o also_o note_v that_o in_o a_o deep_a soil_n that_o be_v most_o kind_a for_o apple_n if_o the_o root_n of_o a_o pear-tree_n descend_v deep_a into_o a_o soft_a clay_n ground_n the_o tree_n spend_v all_o his_o strength_n in_o grow_v downward_o and_o become_v less_o spacious_a less_o

sometime_o in_o bulk_n and_o oft_o time_n in_o other_o quality_n very_o much_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o explain_v why_o there_o be_v such_o different_a kind_n of_o pear_n in_o every_o country_n their_o shape_n and_o their_o nature_n and_o therefore_o also_o their_o name_n be_v change_v so_o often_o and_o so_o easy_o also_o i_o have_v frequent_o note_v that_o the_o rich_a cider_n and_o the_o
