in_o my_o opinion_n so_o useful_a and_o commodious_a be_v because_o when_o i_o see_v many_o garden_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o size_n as_o it_o have_v often_o happen_v and_o daily_o happen_v to_o i_o i_o see_v indeed_o some_o fruit_n there_o but_o withal_o at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o see_v there_o the_o three_o great_a inconvenience_n to_o be_v fear_v in_o that_o respect_n the_o first_o be_v that_o hardly_o any_o sort_n of_o fruit_n that_o be_v well_o know_v which_o be_v no_o very_o hopeful_a sign_n of_o their_o goodness_n be_v to_o be_v see_v there_o and_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o to_o be_v find_v fault_n with_o the_o good_a one_o be_v more_o scarce_o there_o than_o the_o bad_a one_o as_o for_o example_n to_o instance_n in_o pear_n which_o of_o all_o fruit_n be_v that_o of_o which_o man_n plant_v most_o we_o shall_v common_o find_v in_o garden_n more_o tree_n of_o catillac_n orange_n pear_n besideri_n white_a butter_n pear_n jargonell_n summer_n boncretiens_n etc._n etc._n than_o of_o bergamot_n virgoulee_n leschassery_n ambrets_n thorn_n pear_n russelet_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o incommodity_n be_v that_o if_o two_o or_o three_o kind_n happen_v to_o be_v there_o that_o be_v true_o good_a they_o will_v be_v there_o almost_o all_o alone_a and_o that_o pretty_a often_o under_o different_a name_n for_o instance_n we_o shall_v find_v a_o garden_n plant_v almost_o all_o with_o winter_n boncretiens_n butter_n pear_n messire_n john_n etc._n etc._n or_o else_o almost_o all_o only_a with_o virgoulees_n russelet_n verte_a lung_n or_o long_o green_a pear_n etc._n etc._n without_o a_o happy_a mixture_n of_o the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o last_o the_o three_o and_o most_o considerable_a inconvenience_n be_v that_o we_o seldom_o see_v in_o any_o garden_n a_o succession_n of_o fruit_n so_o judicious_o contrive_v that_o without_o any_o discontinuation_n we_o may_v expect_v a_o perpetual_a supply_n of_o they_o in_o summer_n autumn_n and_o winter_n which_o yet_o with_o due_a regard_n have_v to_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o ground_n may_v easy_o be_v effect_v they_o may_v perhaps_o boast_v they_o have_v a_o sufficiency_n or_o perhaps_o too_o much_o either_o in_o one_o of_o the_o three_o season_n or_o during_o some_o part_n of_o each_o of_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n that_o they_o have_v some_o blanket_n or_o russelet_n for_o summer_n some_o butter_n pear_n and_o bergamot_n for_o autumn_n and_o some_o boncretiens_n and_o virgoulees_n for_o winter_n etc._n etc._n but_o perhaps_o they_o have_v sew_v other_o fruit_n or_o perhaps_o none_o at_o all_o to_o furnish_v successive_o every_o season_n so_o long_o as_o it_o last_v and_o much_o less_o to_o furnish_v all_o the_o whole_a three_o season_n one_o after_o another_o without_o intermission_n these_o be_v doubtless_o all_o very_a unpleasing_a irregularity_n and_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o want_n of_o due_a skill_n in_o contrivance_n whilst_o a_o garden_n be_v plant_v for_o at_o that_o time_n gentleman_n common_o begin_v first_o with_o tell_v their_o design_n to_o some_o friend_n either_o to_o demand_v their_o advice_n which_o be_v good_a if_o they_o be_v person_n

with_o for_o in_o the_o first_o place_n all_o the_o world_n be_v agree_v that_o of_o fruit_n consider_v according_a to_o their_o nature_n there_o be_v three_o class_n that_o be_v to_o say_v there_o
