and_o render_v fit_a and_o capable_a artful_o to_o perform_v all_o the_o duty_n of_o their_o call_v and_o quality_n my_o design_n appear_v very_o great_a and_o very_o specious_a and_o therefore_o must_v be_v manage_v with_o some_o order_n that_o which_o i_o purpose_v to_o follow_v be_v this_o i_o will_v divide_v the_o work_n into_o six_o part_n every_o one_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v make_v a_o

i_o will_v if_o my_o judgement_n deceive_v i_o not_o give_v direction_n how_o to_o make_v a_o discreet_a choice_n of_o able_a gard'ner_n which_o i_o reckon_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o important_a point_n to_o be_v look_v after_o in_o this_o matter_n and_o last_o to_o prevent_v any_o doubt_n or_o perplexity_n our_o gentleman_n candidate_n or_o young_a beginner_n in_o these_o

for_o we_o be_v not_o to_o leave_v so_o many_o fruit_n upon_o a_o tree_n as_o it_o have_v blossom_n but_o have_v reason_n rather_o to_o be_v suspicious_a of_o those_o that_o blossom_n too_o much_o

perhaps_o to_o set_v off_o some_o visionary_a talkative_a gard'ner_n let_v we_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o manner_n of_o employ_v this_o dung_n to_o the_o purpose_n this_o matter_n ought_v to_o afford_v we_o two_o instruction_n the_o one_o be_v to_o point_v out_o those_o part_n where_o the_o dung_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v and_o the_o second_o to_o mark_v out_o partly_o the_o true_a quantity_n as_o to_o the_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o sometime_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o dung_v large_o and_o pretty_a deep_a into_o the_o ground_n and_o sometime_o it_o suffice_v to_o turn_v the_o surface_n light_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o make_v bed_n of_o their_o dung_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o trench_n whatever_o care_n they_o take_v of_o tilling_n every_o bed_n large_o in_o order_n to_o mix_v the_o earth_n and_o dung_n together_o and_o my_o reason_n confirm_v by_o a_o long_a experience_n be_v that_o whatever_o be_v good_a in_o that_o dung_n so_o employ_v soon_o become_v useless_a since_o it_o pass_v too_o low_a with_o the_o moisture_n which_o force_v it_o along_o and_o drive_v it_o to_o such_o part_n where_o the_o root_n can_v penetrate_v beside_o that_o the_o motion_n which_o be_v make_v in_o tilling_n those_o three_o or_o four_o bed_n in_o the_o trench_n instead_o of_o contribute_v to_o make_v the_o earth_n light_a which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o 2._o most_o material_a
condition_n only_o press_v and_o harden_v it_o by_o the_o trample_v which_o can_v be_v avoid_v in_o tilling_n therefore_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v elsewhere_o i_o will_v have_v the_o dung_n use_v for_o earth_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o ash_n be_v use_v in_o wash_v that_o be_v that_o whereas_o the_o ash_n be_v only_o lay_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o linen_n that_o be_v heap_v up_o in_o the_o tub_n in_o order_n to_o cleanse_v it_o so_o the_o dung_n shall_v only_o be_v lay_v on_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v to_o be_v amend_v i_o say_v it_o again_o it_o be_v not_o the_o gross_a substance_n of_o the_o dung_n which_o fertilise_n as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o gross_a substance_n of_o the_o ash_n which_o cleanse_v it_o be_v that_o invisible_a salt_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o those_o matter_n incorporate_n wet_v with_o the_o water_n that_o wet_v it_o descends_z with_o they_o wherever_o their_o weight_n incline_v they_o and_o there_o produce_v what_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o perform_v but_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o know_v the_o best_a place_n where_o the_o dung_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v we_o must_v likewise_o examine_v what_o quantity_n may_v be_v proper_a for_o it_o in_o order_n to_o explain_v this_o article_n it_o be_v proper_a to_o know_v that_o as_o some_o dung_n have_v a_o far_o great_a quantity_n of_o salt_n to_o communicate_v than_o other_o so_o there_o be_v earth_n which_o require_v and_o want_v more_o amendment_n than_o other_o i_o still_o mean_v the_o earth_n for_o kitchen-plant_n and_o not_o that_o earth_n in_o which_o tree_n be_v to_o be_v plant_v for_o i_o will_v have_v none_o for_o these_o suppose_v always_o that_o if_o they_o have_v the_o least_o tree_n goodness_n they_o have_v enough_o to_o nourish_v tree_n from_o which_o we_o expect_v palatable_a fruit._n he_o who_o study_v to_o make_v excellent_a wine_n soon_o perceive_v that_o the_o use_n of_o dung_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o intention_n and_o that_o if_o those_o amendment_n augment_v the_o quantity_n at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o diminish_v the_o value_n though_o perhaps_o that_o defect_n may_v have_v be_v correct_v by_o

of_o trench_n where_o they_o intend_v to_o plant_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o explain_v the_o manner_n i_o think_v most_o proper_a for_o it_o to_o save_v charge_n and_o to_o have_v the_o work_v better_o

therefore_o plant_v no_o standard_n tree_n any_o where_o but_o in_o great_a garden_n and_o there_o too_o we_o will_v plant_v but_o a_o small_a number_n which_o ordinary_o amount_v not_o to_o above_o one_o tree_n for_o every_o square_n in_o a_o kitchen_n garden_n i_o have_v use_v myself_o to_o two_o several_a method_n in_o this_o matter_n which_o succeed_v not_o amiss_o one_o be_v to_o plant_v they_o all_o along_o the_o side_n of_o those_o great_a alley_n or_o walk_n that_o cross_v the_o garden_n and_o always_o at_o a_o good_a distance_n from_o any_o wall_n except_v those_o of_o the_o north_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o place_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o square_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o in_o every_o
square_n in_o the_o first_o manner_n particular_o because_o the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o shadow_n fall_v common_o into_o the_o walk_n none_o of_o the_o tree_n can_v do_v any_o harm_n to_o the_o little_a plant_n grow_v underneath_o they_o nor_o to_o the_o good_a wall_n tree_n which_o be_v far_o enough_o off_o of_o they_o and_o in_o the_o second_o manner_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o intercept_v or_o cloud_v the_o sight_n because_o the_o square_n extend_v ordinary_o at_o least_o threescore_o or_o threescore_o and_o twelve_o foot_n every_o way_n and_o be_v separate_v from_o one_o another_o by_o some_o alley_n or_o walk_n the_o standard_n tree_n in_o they_o will_v be_v at_o a_o very_a considerable_a distance_n one_o from_o another_o and_o the_o number_n of_o those_o square_n be_v not_o very_o great_a the_o number_n of_o the_o standard_n tree_n in_o they_o can_v be_v but_o moderate_a neither_o there_o be_v very_o few_o kitchen-garden_n so_o proportion_v and_o so_o design_v out_o as_o we_o have_v express_v that_o can_v have_v above_o thirty_o such_o tree_n now_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o either_o choose_v tree_n of_o those_o sort_n of_o fruit_n which_o be_v not_o very_o big_a and_o yet_o be_v of_o great_a increase_n and_o be_v good_a when_o they_o fall_v that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o some_o summer_n fruit_n because_o their_o smallness_n preserve_v they_o from_o

to_o leave_v they_o some_o of_o the_o branch_n of_o their_o top_n which_o they_o have_v when_o in_o the_o nursery_n garden_n because_o they_o will_v bear_v fruit_n so_o much_o the_o soon_o and_o

at_o the_o speedy_a get_n of_o abundance_n of_o fine_a and_o good_a fruit_n without_o which_o no_o fruit-tree_n will_v be_v have_v or_o cultivate_v the_o second_o which_o be_v pretty_a considerable_a inform_v we_o that_o prune_v serve_v to_o make_v tree_n in_o all_o season_n even_o in_o those_o in_o which_o they_o have_v neither_o fruit_n nor_o leave_n appear_v more_o agreeable_a to_o sight_n than_o they_o will_v do_v if_o they_o be_v not_o prune_v now_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o sight_n in_o this_o last_o point_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o well-understood_a and_o

the_o industry_n of_o the_o gardener_n can_v contribute_v to_o it_o it_o depend_v first_o upon_o the_o knowledge_n he_o must_v have_v of_o every_o branch_n in_o particular_a to_o know_v those_o that_o be_v good_a from_o those_o that_o be_v not_o it_o depend_v in_o the_o second_o place_n upon_o the_o judicious_a distinction_n which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v among_o the_o branch_n whole_o to_o take_v

if_o among_o these_o last_o some_o be_v find_v not_o too_o long_o they_o shall_v be_v leave_v as_o they_o be_v but_o as_o to_o the_o main_a of_o the_o other_o which_o be_v too_o long_o they_o must_v
