the_o soil_n that_o be_v require_v for_o the_o sow_v plant_v or_o transplant_n tabaco_n the_o most_o fruitful_a and_o fertile_a soil_n natural_o or_o by_o art_n so_o make_v be_v most_o requisite_a for_o this_o purpose_n if_o the_o soil_n be_v natural_o fat_a and_o strong_a regard_v likewise_o must_v be_v have_v of_o the_o situation_n of_o the_o ground_n whether_o in_o field_n or_o garden_n that_o the_o place_n be_v not_o over-shadowed_n with_o tree_n whereby_o the_o sun_n may_v be_v hinder_v from_o yield_v unto_o it_o its_o heat_n neither_o must_v your_o tabaco_n be_v plant_v or_o sow_v in_o wide_a &_o large_a field_n which_o lie_v open_a to_o all_o wind_n and_o weather_n especial_o the_o north_n wind_n and_o as_o unkindly_a blast_n be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o the_o thrive_a of_o it_o on_o the_o one_o side_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o want_n of_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n will_v so_o chill_v it_o that_o it_o will_v never_o come_v to_o perfection_n but_o if_o by_o art_n your_o ground_n must_v be_v well_o dung_v and_o manure_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v mix_v and_o incorporate_v with_o the_o earth_n that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v the_o least_o appearance_n of_o dung._n moreover_o the_o dung_n you_o so_o make_v use_n of_o must_v lie_v a_o long_a time_n rot_v if_o it_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o stable_n your_o best_a soil_n therefore_o for_o present_a occasion_n be_v such_o as_o be_v take_v up_o in_o the_o street_n or_o else_o ash_n sift_v your_o hop_n and_o tabaco_n will_v require_v the_o self_n manure_v and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o such_o land_n as_o they_o sow_v their_o hemp_n in_o must_v needs_o be_v fit_a for_o this_o purpose_n because_o it_o be_v fat_a and_o mellow_a the_o best_a way_n of_o sow_v your_o seed_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o seed_n shall_v be_v careless_o cast_v abroad_o without_o either_o sow_v or_o rake_v the_o ground_n be_v first_o prepare_v with_o the_o plough_n or_o the_o spade_n other_o again_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o you_o must_v make_v a_o small_a hole_n in_o the_o ground_n with_o your_o finger_n about_o the_o depth_n of_o your_o finger_n length_n wherein_o you_o may_v put_v ten_o or_o twelve_o seed_n and_o so_o cover_v the_o hole_n again_o and_o this_o reason_n they_o give_v for_o their_o so_o do_v for_o say_v they_o the_o seed_n be_v very_o small_a be_v either_o subject_a to_o be_v blow_v away_o by_o every_o small_a wind_n or_o else_o parch_v by_o the_o extreme_a scorch_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n i_o prefer_v this_o way_n before_o the_o former_a other_o again_o will_v have_v we_o sow_v the_o seed_n as_o lettuce_n and_o other_o small_a seed_n be_v commit_v to_o the_o ground_n by_o take_v some_o of_o the_o fine_a mould_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o platter_n of_o wood_n or_o some_o such_o like_a vessel_n mix_v the_o earth_n very_o well_o with_o the_o seed_n and_o so_o cast_v to_o it_o on_o the_o ground_n very_o thin_a and_o spare_o this_o may_v be_v their_o reason_n because_o the_o seed_n be_v mix_v so_o well_o with_o the_o earth_n will_v stick_v close_o to_o some_o small_a crumb_n of_o earth_n that_o the_o wind_n can_v disperse_v it_o and_o beside_o it_o occasion_v the_o speedy_a root_n thereof_o and_o somewhat_o shelter_n it_o that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n will_v not_o much_o annoy_n it_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v put_v a_o small_a quantity_n of_o ash_n very_o fine_o sift_v into_o the_o vessel_n among_o the_o earth_n and_o seed_n it_o will_v be_v much_o better_a the_o time_n of_o sow_v or_o plant_v in_o the_o month_n of_o march_n april_n or_o may_v the_o seed_n may_v be_v commit_v to_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o most_o fit_a and_o convenient_a season_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o april_n or_o before_o if_o the_o spring_n be_v very_o forward_o for_o march_v wind_n be_v no_o good_a friend_n unto_o they_o wherefore_o a_o good_a way_n be_v to_o cover_v your_o bed_n already_o sow_v with_o old_a mat_n and_o when_o the_o sun_n do_v appear_v to_o uncover_v they_o the_o next_o morning_n but_o because_o you_o shall_v spare_v some_o daily_a labour_n and_o toil_v you_o may_v be_v put_v to_o once_o for_o all_o fence_n it_o with_o reed_n against_o the_o northwind_n for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o month_n or_o two_o of_o order_v your_o ground_n after_o sow_v your_o seed_n in_o the_o first_o place_n keep_v your_o ground_n clear_a from_o weed_n aswell_o before_o the_o sow_v of_o the_o seed_n as_o afterward_o because_o otherwise_o the_o weed_n will_v choke_v the_o plant_n and_o steal_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o ground_n which_o shall_v nourish_v it_o also_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o remove_v all_o stone_n from_o about_o they_o because_o the_o stone_n will_v impede_fw-la their_o growth_n and_o may_v occasion_v it_o to_o grow_v awry_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o indeed_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v author_n it_o be_v a_o very_a sullen_a plant_n and_o apt_a to_o take_v distaste_n which_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o physician_n term_v it_o a_o herb_n of_o mars_n and_o i_o may_v add_v another_o observation_n of_o my_o own_o that_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o all_o the_o soldier_n so_o general_o approve_v of_o it_o that_o scarce_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o can_v be_v well_o long_o without_o it_o i_o write_v not_o this_o to_o give_v any_o encouragement_n to_o our_o english_a planter_n of_o tabaco_n because_o when_o they_o have_v do_v all_o they_o can_v they_o be_v recompense_v with_o a_o sorry_a crop_n in_o eonclusion_n it_o be_v general_o style_v by_o the_o name_n of_o mundungos_n but_o rather_o to_o animate_v gentleman_n who_o happy_o may_v have_v spare_a ground_n enough_o to_o sow_v and_o plant_v it_o in_o their_o garden_n not_o that_o they_o shall_v think_v thereby_o to_o make_v any_o great_a gain_n by_o it_o but_o to_o have_v it_o in_o readiness_n when_o occasion_n shall_v require_v either_o for_o his_o own_o or_o

dry_a after_o the_o sow_v of_o your_o seed_n you_o must_v have_v a_o special_a care_n to_o the_o water_v of_o your_o ground_n and_o this_o must_v be_v do_v neither_o too_o early_o nor_o too_o late_o

you_o may_v then_o transplant_v they_o the_o manner_n of_o transplant_n tabaco_n you_o shall_v for_o you_o must_v be_v very_o chary_a of_o root_n that_o you_o perish_v they_o not_o take_v a_o knife_n

be_v very_o chary_a in_o separate_v of_o they_o if_o there_o be_v more_o than_o one_o root_n wherefore_o your_o best_a way_n be_v to_o take_v the_o earth_n that_o you_o so_o dig_v up_o with_o the_o
