A90748	The second part of the Garden of Eden. Or An accurate description of all flowers and fruits growing in England; with partuicular [sic] rules how to advance their nature and growth, as well in seeds and herbs, as the secret ordering of trees and plants. / By that learned and great observer, Sir Hugh Plat Knight. Never before printed.; Garden of Eden. Part 2	Plat, Hugh, Sir, 1552-1611?	1659 (1659)	Wing P2392; Thomason E1804_2; ESTC R203175	42,070	161

at the time of the knitting and by this practice you may happen to have Cherries upon your Dwarf-trees when the great Cherry-orchard in Kent shall fail And because every spectator or beholder of these conceited trees may not presently look into the invention hereof it shall not be amiss to make either so many holes in the ground or so many brick receptacles as will receive your pots all the Summer time wherein they may be so closely placed even with the ground and all the brims of the pot so covered with earth as that they shall seem to be growing ends in ordinary manner to the great admiration of all such as shall behold them The fashion of your Stove for the Dwarf-trees 20. Your Stove or close Orchard may be made to open at all sides saving the North in the manner of the shop-windows in London whose board and timber must be well pitched oiled or greased over with the fat of the powder-beef-pot but then perhaps it will be offensive to your apparel because it is over long in drying the roof also may be divided into four parts and each part so placed as that it may be drawn up with a pulley thereby to receive the Sun and Rain when you shall think good and in cold weather or in the winter season to be kept warm according to the manner set down ante num 8. But how to build a house in such form as that the Sun both in the Summer and also in the Winter season may shine therein very plentifully see the opinion of Cardanus cited in the Collection of secrets made by Wickerus p. 591. Quaere of a round Stove turning on a pin like a Windmil and being full of glass-windows Forwarding of fruit by a tent 21. A tent spread over a Cherry-tree or any other Fruit-tree and receiving that vaporous heat ante num 8. will help greatly to forward the blossoming and ripening of any fruit being used in the night time and in all other sharp and cold weather all the Art will be herein to have some speedy means of pitching or spreading this tent and taking the same down again Cutting of Vines to bear quickly 22. When you plant the cuttings of Vines chuse such of the last years shoots as may have some part of the former years stock cut off with them and so you shall have Grapes a year sooner at the least 23. Quaere Nipping off the first blossoms if the taking away of the first blossoms of Fruits will force any Fruit-tree to bring forth new blossoms and thereby to bear fruit a great deal later post 81. 24. Glasses on your yong plants When you have first prickt in your seeds into the ground set over each of them a glass which is broad below and the bottom broken out and whose neck is narrow but leave the mouth open these glasses defend off the cold air encrease the heat of the sun and keep the Plants moist because the water as it ascendeth by the attraction of the sun so it slippeth down again by the gliding sides of the glass for I have seen in dry weather the ground which hath been covered with one of these glasses much blacker and moister then any other earth round about it this is done to defend a young plant from the nipping cold and from the parching heat until it have gotten up to some growth whereby it may defend it self the better and then you may remove the glass Soil for out-landish plants 25. Let every outlandish Plant be set in such soil as cometh nearest in kinde to that soil wherein it did naturally grow beyond the Seas or if you can bring over sufficient of the same earth wherein it grew To forward Almond trees 26. Steep the Almonds with their shels in milk two or three days then make a trench of good dung of two foot deep upon which make a lay of fine sifted earth of a hand breadth deep into which prick your Almonds then cover them with more sifted earth and every year remove them always planting them in the same trenched ground and so they will grow a yard in heigth every year as Sir Edward Denny of Ireland assured me upon his own trial these because they are dainty and shady trees are fit to make stately Walks in Noblemens Gardens 27. Orange Lemon Almond trees forwarded For the forwarding of your seeds of Oranges Lemonds Almonds Pomgranates c. use the same order as is here set down for Musk-mellon seeds and then remove your Plants into pots which by apt covers you may sufficiently defend from all manner of cold weather not exposing them to the air but onely in a sunny day When to sow that which you wou d have to seed 28. Whatsoever you would have to run to seed apace sow that seed either in three days before or three days after the full of the Moon quaere if the three first days be not the better and quaere if the day of the full be not the best of all other High borders of Time Hysop c. speedily 29. If you board up earth to the height and bredth of a privy hedge that is of six or seven years growth with boards that be thick and well seasoned and bored through full of large and slope holes or rather being full of long slits after the earth is well setled you may plant the top of the border and sides likewise with Hysop Time Sides of borders in works Lavender c. or else you may plant the sides with some contrary Plant to make the one to set off the other the better This way you may make dainty Borders of Carnations if you keep the sides cut in frets or other works planting the Carnations on the top of the borders or if you please you may cut out square holes like checker boards Checker-works Pos●s and Emblems or fair Roman Letters in poses or emblems in the sides of the borders and so keep them according to the works By this devise you may also make Mounts Pyramids c. Mou●ts Pyramids according to the shape of the case wherein you plant and it will seem very strange being set of such plants as do ordinarily grow very low and near the ground An artificial tree or arbor This way also a man may plant an artificial Tree or Arbor planting the body and arms of the tree with Herbs or Flowers and to cover the secret you may hide the arms and body with the bark of trees or moss as also Dogs Dogs Lyons Fowl Fish c. artificial Lions Bulls Men Fishes Fowle c. having hollow moulds for the same either of stone or wood well pitched within and without There may be also pipes of lead conveyed through the bodies of such forms which must be stopt at the ends and have divers little holes in them whereby water may be conveyed with a Funnel into the

Fruit and Flowers to come early and before others or late and after others or to have them growing all the year Sect. 1. SIR Francis Walsingham caused divers Apricock Trees to be planted against a south Wall Planting of Trees against brick wals and their Branches to be born up also against the wall according to the manner of Vines whereby his Plumbs did ripen three or four weeks before any other that grew at large in any Orchard and had not the benefit of the Suns reflexion Hereupon I do infer How to multiply the Sun-beams upon Trees That if every Tree were planted in a several Tabernacle or such Concave as were aptest for the receiving and reflecting of the Sun-beams upon the Fruit and the same also either lined with Lead or Tin plates or garnished with glasses of steel or crystalline that by such means peradventure the reflexion might be multiplied to the greater forwarding of the Fruit especially the Trees being Dwarf-trees whereby the Sun might reflect both from the sides and from the ground unto the uppermost branch or bough of the Tree Olive Pomgranate Orange and Lemond trees to bear fruit And by these helps the Olive Pomgranate Orange and Lemond trees and such like might happily bear their Fruit in our cold Clymate Quaere Sol and Vulcan meeting together in the wals if these walls did stand so conveniently as they might also be continually warmed with the Kitchen fires as serving for Backs unto your Chimneys if so they should not likewise finde some little furtherance in their ripening 2. Quaere also Trees wrapped about with Hay If wrapping of ropes of Hay about the bodies of the Trees to defend them from the windes and other cold that happeneth most in the night season Nourishing Liquor rich Mould 3. Water these Trees with nourishing and feeding Liquors and give a new supply now and then of richer Mould unto them and if you will prevent the dangers of the frost which they are subject unto in their blossom To prevent the fr●sts in May. then lay open the roots for a time that the sap may not rise too fast or if your Orchard consist of Dwarf-trees growing in great pots of stone or vessels of wood you may remove them from time to time as you see cause and so preserve them from all injury of the weather Early fruit without the help of Brick wals 4. And lest I should leave all other men destitute of early Fruit whose ability will not serve to compass their Orchards with Brick-walls which would prove an excessive charge my advice is that their Orchard should consist wholly of Dwarf trees over which being close compact together they may spread a canvas tent removeable at pleasure Canvas tent or defending onely the North East and Northeast winds from them with canvas walls Canvas Walls which canvas they may hire of the Upholsters after the rate of one penny the ell for many moneths together for notwithstanding this imployment it serveth the Painters turn sufficiently Neither ought this course seem very chargeable unto us if we do either consider the infinite number of Trees that a small square will receive if they be closely packed together or if we do estimate the profit that will arise of such forward fruit which will easily countervail the hire of our canvas And yet for our better encouragement herein I have heard that also noted of our best experienced Practisers this way Dwarf trees more fortunate ●hen others That these kinde of Dwarf-trees are commonly more fortunate in their bearing then our ordinary trees whose bodies are greater and carry their heads so high into the weather and it shall not be amiss notwithstanding these walls or covers Preparing of the ground for Dwarf-trees to place these Dwarf-trees especially if they grow in vessels removeable either upon Pavement of Free-stone or Brick or upon a platform of Gravel whereby the Sun may reflect the stronger upon them always provided that you have also care to keep them sufficiently moist and from being withered or parched with the heat The manner how to water them which you may easily prevent in the time of dry weather by watering them continually by way of filtration out of apt vessels placed for the purpose And though your trees be fixed and growing in the ground yet it shall not be amiss to have a flore of hard gravel round about them to help the reflexion of the Sun so as you have care either to leave sufficient store of earth about the body of every Tree and the same earth to be laid in the forme of a concave receptive to receive such rain water as falleth and to convey that unto the root or else if you will cover the whole face of the ground with gravel you must then at the foot of every tree thrust in a pipe of stone for which purpose and to avoid charge the neck of these stone bodies wherein the Goldfiners do use to draw their strong water will serve very aptly which must receive a continual watering per laneam linguam as before The bigness of these Orchards to keep them moist And here if it were not for charge I could wish all these Orchards that are replenished with Dwarf-trees to consist of small squares so as they might be ten or twelve yards every way in length and breadth and no more The hight of the wals of this Orchard about which squares I would also erect the cheapest wall that could be devised which should not exceed

better both for the credit of their houses and the health of their Customers if they spent that time in their beds which they spend in their Cellars at midnight But it shall suffice at this time that I have broken the ice into a harder passage and that I have given a taste of some new skil which I will be ready to enlarge and amplifie as well in this subject as in others of higher reach when I shall see men of worth and special desert to be distinguished from the vulgar sort by their honorable reward till which time I will leave Nature in a sweet slumber Sed nunc ad oppositum Young Onions all the year 41. If you sow onion seeds every moneth in the wane of the Moon and in cold weather if you steep the seeds in warm water and sow them in earth well dunged in pots and remove the pots into close rooms in cold and unseasonable weather you may by this means have Onions young and fresh growing all the year as a Gentleman of Ireland did credibly inform me of his own experience Quaere if young Radishes may not be had in the same manner Young Radishes all the year 42. Roses growing at Christmas If you cut a Red or Damask Rose root on Mid-summer day between eleven and twelve of the clock before noon at Christmas it will bear Roses Note that you must defend them from cold weather by covering them all over with straw Quaere if this secret may not be performed best in such Roses as grow in pots or tubs because they may be best defended from all injury of frosts by removing them into closs places 43. Grapes g●owing late Towards cold weather you must cover with some well tempered loam as with hors-dung or flocks but I take flock to be the better all the stalks of the Vine even to the bunches of Grapes covering the bunches themselves with straw and so you shall have your Grapes growing upon the Vine at Christmas Quaere if this secret serve for any other Trees Note also that your vines must be opened three times in the year and be dunged with some apt soil for them Rich earth for pots 44. Take the earth that you shall finde under an old Muck heap but dig not too deep this alone is an excellent mold to plant your Gilliflowers and other Flowers and Dwarf-trees in but if you mingle therewith both lime and dung also and temper them well together it will be a good means to forward such Flowers as you shall place therein but you must not set your pots in the South sun Quaere of planting each Flower in its own putrefaction with earth or in the putrefaction of Corn or any other Vegetable See more at large hereof porta pag. 100. 45. A second crop of Artichokes Some by cutting down of Artichokes presently after their bearing gain also a second crop about Michaelmas or Alhallontide if the weather prove not too sharp because the Plant is tender or else after they have done bearing you may cut them often if you will lose your second crop of Artichokes and content your self only with such stalks as will spring from time to time and be very good meat being tenderly sodden When to sow seeds in respect of the Moon 46. All such seeds as you would have to run to seed again must be sown in the three days before or after the full of the Moon or at the full and these will be forwarder then those which be sown three weeks before them in the wain of the Moon as some Gardeners do hold Hindering of the Colleflower in blowing 47. When your Coleflower is almost ripe cut it off leaving a pretty long stalk at it prick the stalk in the ground and by this means the flower will be somewhat long before it blow and so you may have then one under another as you shall have cause to spend them Salt to forward Pease 48. Quaere of sowing of two bushels of salt amongst four bushels of Beans or Pease what effects it will work either in forwarding them or in the enriching of the soil especially being oftentimes strewed for I have been credibly informed that the like proportion of salt amongst seed-corn will multiply the encrease thereof exceedingly 49. To preserve fruit upon dwarf trees Plant many Dwarf-trees and bow down their branches with their fruit upon them including the fruit And quaere how long the fruit will keep you must have party covers to your pots and wel luted 50. A fructifying water or seeds Quaere of striing of seeds in water wherein some Sandiner is first dissolved Quaere if one sixteenth part be not a good proportion for that cometh near unto the salt water wherein there is some eighteen or twenty parts of salt Lemon Orange Pomgranate tree Quaere also of watering all outlandish Trees as Lemon Orange Pomgranet c. therewith to forward them in their bearing Quaere also of a strong Lee made of the waste Sope-ashes plus ante num 33. Late fruits 51. Some do hold that if you nip off the blossoms in the midst with your nails when they do first bud forth that new blossoms will afterwards break forth close by them which will come later then the first Quaere of the like practice upon those new blossoms likewise ante num 23. 52. A practice upon Roses Quaere what will follow by the declination of the branches of Roses and other Flowers into pots either empty or half full of water and standing within the ground 53. Sopesuds and Powder-beef-broth Quaere of throwing all the sope-suds and all the Powder-beef-broth at the roots of Cherry-trees and other Trees what effect will follow and so of flowers 54. When to lop or proin Lop no tree in wet weather neither cut down any Herbs in a rainy day but in necessity Andrew Hill 55. Shavings of horn Quaere of steeping shavings of horn a long time in water and after watering of Trees or Plants therewith Horn to Cherry-trees 56. Quaere of laying of store of horns at the roots of Cherry-trees c. if they will forward their bearing P●ase forward●d with horn 57. What shavings of horn will do in forwarding a Pease field or in forwarding of outlandish seed but especially sow early Pease such as Mr. Flower soweth by Bednal-green Taylors shreds 58. Taylors shreds laid upon the ground will enrich it greatly Horn into a gelly to forward fiui●s 59. If you steep shavings of horn in water and lime the horn in time will grow to a gelly then may you drein away the water and apply the same to the roots of Trees or Herbs without discovering of your secret Rose-trees forwarded I have heard them much commended in forwarding of Rose-trees 60. When to proin trees The branches of all Trees must be cut off in setting time Peach

less into leaves thou must assure thy self that thy Cions is ready to be taken off and graffed in such a stock as hath also buds of the like colour and bigness unto them by which means they will so jump in a sympathy of Nature together as that they will most lovingly and kindly embrace each other And note that the stock must always be as forward at the least as the Cions for otherwise the Stock will starve the Cions 75. The manner of implastering Inoculating or Graffing in the bud with all necessary circumstances In some smooth part of the Stock whereupon you mean to graff you must first slit the bark about half an inch overthwart the body or branch then slit likewise the bark thereof downward from the midst of the overthwart slit somewhat more then an inch in length into which convey your bud with the leaf at it so as you place bark to bark at the upper end and croping of the uppermost part of the leaf then binde the bark of the stock about the bud with such bands as are commonly used in the binding up of Brawn and close up the joynt with Loam and Moss well tempered together at three weeks end you must take off that band because the bud will swell and then you must binde the same again more easily with a new band but some do hold it sufficient to slit the band only in the backside and so to leave it Note that in the gathering of your bud you must be careful that you hurt not the bud in the inner side of the bark when you divide the same from the branch whereon it grew for if you finde any hole or pit therein it is a manifest sign that you have left the bud behind for the avoiding of which danger the best way of all other that ever I could finde was to slope the bark a little upward in taking off the bud and to slit down at the sides and bottom thereof so as it may be a pretty large square and then putting in your finger gently at the upper end to draw the same downward as you would slip off an Eels-skin this bud you must place in a square hole cut out of purpose for the same and sitting bark to bark as near as you can in every place Some in gathering of the leaf with the bud do make an overthwart slit a little above the leaf which leaf would be such a one as hath a fair swelling bud by it then they slit the bark on either side for the leaf and so make the same to meet in the base point in form of an Eschocheon Some do hold the best time of this graffing to be about the midst of June or few days before or after and some about the twelfth or fourteenth of June but you shall finde out the best time of all for this practice by the sappiness of the Tree when you slit the same and by the smooth and easie dividing of the Bark from the Tree If your bud take well then must you cut off the stock or branch whereon you have thus graffed about the end of December a shaftment about the bud and when the bud hath afterwards given a sufficient shoot then may you take off the branch or body whereon you graffed close at the bark of the bud sloping the same upward with your knife When you go about this work chuse a fair milde and temperate day and shun all rainy and windy weather Note also that after you have taken off your buds and untill you have sitted them in their stock or branch you must lay them in a sawcer of fair water to keep them moist and graff them as speedily as you may Cut the bands in sunder in the backside about three weeks or a moneth after you have graffed close it at the first with wax besides the bands let the schocheon be rather a little too big then any thing too little especially at the bottom for his place because it will shrink and be sure you close your schocheon well at the bottom and so likewise in the graffing of a Cion By this Art one smal twig well chosen and being full of buds will serve to graff sundry Trees and it is not amiss to graff in divers places of the same Tree if some should miss for this graffing though it take not doth not any way impair or hurt the Tree Graff Apple-tree-buds upon Apple-tree-stocks and so of Pear-trees and Stone-fruit-buds upon Stone-fruit-stocks Quaere of graffing one Rose upon another or upon any other Tree or branch Quaere if the bud would not be graffed in a shoot of the same year In stones Fruit it is thought better to graff upon a shoot of three years old at the least but in Pear-trees or Apples you may graff this way upon a shoot of one year Prepare your stock first and presently apply the bud for it is a rule in all graffing whatsoever the sooner that you close them the more ready they will be to knit together even as a piece of flesh that is newly cut being presently bound up will heal more speedily whilst the vital spirits be yet warm 76. How to sow sufficiently in the wain or encrease of the Moon notwithstanding the unseasonableness of the weather It is a common received opinion at this day that it is necessary to sow all seeds which you would have to run to seed again in the encrease of the Moon except Beans and Pease which must be sowed in the wane of the Moon the nearer the change the better and so likewise to sow all such seeds as you would have to bring large roots and not to run to seed in the wane of the Moon as Parsenips Carrets Radish and generally all Pot-hearbs now if either the wane or encrease prove so wet and showry or so cold and frosty that you cannot conveniently sow your seeds in their due season then mingle well together each seed with a sufficient quantity of fine and rich mold and leave them so together in pots pans or dishes till you finde apt weather to sow them abroad and so you shall not be forced to lose any season at all Quaere if all these pots or pans were set in a stove or other warm place if so the seed would not be much forwarder then if they had been scattered abroad Or else you may sow them the earth being moist so as you provide sufficient store of dry mold or earth to cover the seeds 77. How to have Garden Pease or French-Beans to grow without the help of sticks or poles Set one row of Beans and another of Pease some five or six inches asunder and the Bean stalks will outgrow the Pease and be strong enough to support the Pease your French Beans you may prick round about your Trees in your Orchard suffering them to climb up by the bodies and if need be you may binde them to the trees with rushes or some such gentle
