and_o capable_a to_o correct_v its_o fault_n but_o also_o to_o plant_v in_o it_o such_o sort_n of_o tree_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o it_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a so_o to_o dung_n or_o amend_v a_o ground_n as_o to_o make_v it_o absolute_o to_o change_v its_o nature_n especial_o for_o great_a plant_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o we_o must_v conform_v to_o it_o and_o set_v no_o tree_n but_o such_o as_o will_v take_v in_o it_o for_o to_o endeavour_v to_o force_v nature_n be_v but_o to_o lose_v our_o labour_n every_o one_o may_v easy_o know_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o earth_n of_o his_o own_o garden_n wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o say_v what_o sort_n of_o fruit-tree_n will_v take_v best_a upon_o each_o ground_n garden-pear-tree_n will_v thrive_v best_a in_o a_o soft_a earth_n and_o of_o a_o great_a depth_n for_o their_o root_n grow_v downward_o and_o always_o search_v towards_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o ground_n so_o that_o it_o be_v observe_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o meet_v with_o hard_a rocky_a a_o goodground_n earth_n or_o b_o soil_n galt_n they_o turn_v yellow_a their_o top_n dry_v up_o and_o they_o diminish_v rather_o than_o increase_v but_o for_o appletree_n see_v their_o root_n tend_v not_o downward_o but_o spread_v towards_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n they_o need_v not_o so_o great_a a_o depth_n of_o it_o but_o than_o it_o must_v likewise_o be_v strong_a so_o that_o they_o may_v there_o find_v store_n of_o nourishment_n and_o fresh_a also_o that_o their_o root_n may_v run_v into_o it_o the_o more_o easy_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o appletree_n may_v grow_v in_o a_o sandy_a ground_n and_o bear_v very_o good_a fruit_n though_o find_v less_o nourishment_n there_o they_o can_v put_v forth_o so_o many_o branch_n nor_o have_v those_o they_o do_v put_v forth_o so_o strong_a quince-tree_n thrive_v best_a in_o a_o soft_a ground_n and_o somewhat_o a_o degree_n fresh_a because_o their_o root_n which_o be_v tender_a do_v there_o spread_v without_o pain_n and_o gather_v together_o good_a store_n of_o nourishment_n and_o because_o they_o grow_v not_o deep_a within_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o if_o they_o find_v a_o good_a soil_n of_o two_o or_o three_o foot_n deep_a in_o strong_a and_o moist_a ground_n they_o increase_v much_o in_o wood_n and_o maintain_v themselves_o very_o green_a but_o then_o the_o fruit_n graft_v upon_o they_o be_v harsh_a and_o without_o colour_n especial_o winter-fruit_n as_o the_o bon_fw-fr crestien_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a quince-tree_n plant_v in_o a_o dry_a gravelly_a and_o light_a ground_n grow_v not_o so_o much_o in_o wood_n but_o their_o fruit_n be_v better_a fair_a colour_v and_o more_o tender_a the_o cause_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v know_v by_o he_o who_o consider_v that_o the_o beauty_n and_o vigour_n of_o tree_n depend_v upon_o that_o of_o their_o root_n and_o that_o according_a as_o they_o delight_v themselves_o in_o a_o ground_n or_o else_o disagree_v with_o it_o so_o the_o tree_n must_v either_o flourish_v extreme_o or_o languish_v since_o it_o be_v from_o their_o root_n that_o they_o draw_v all_o their_o nourishment_n for_o this_o reason_n when_o ever_o you_o see_v a_o tree_n grow_v yellow_a or_o diminish_v be_v assure_v that_o its_o root_n be_v sick_a now_o the_o root_n can_v suffer_v but_o either_o through_o too_o much_o moisture_n and_o cold_a or_o else_o through_o too_o much_o drought_n because_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o extreme_n destroy_v that_o temper_n which_o be_v requisite_a in_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o plant_n the_o water_n by_o its_o cold_n drive_v out_o that_o heat_n which_o animate_v the_o earth_n and_o so_o render_v it_o dead_a and_o incapable_a of_o production_n it_o stop_v the_o sap_n and_o consequent_o make_v the_o tree_n to_o suffer_v hence_o we_o see_v that_o cold_a reins_n in_o summer_n if_o too_o frequent_a make_v the_o green_a tree_n turn_v yellow_a but_o too_o great_a heat_n do_v likewise_o cause_v the_o same_o effect_n for_o it_o dry_v the_o earth_n too_o much_o and_o dissipate_v all_o that_o moisture_n which_o shall_v nourish_v the_o root_n from_o this_o see_v that_o the_o sun_n more_o easy_o penetrate_v such_o ground_n as_o be_v dry_a and_o without_o moisture_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o judge_v that_o tree_n grow_v there_o must_v turn_v yellow_a and_o change_v soon_o than_o in_o strong_a ground_n which_o defend_v themselves_o better_o from_o the_o heat_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n must_v fruit_n be_v tender_a and_o well_o colour_v in_o dry_a ground_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a very_o harsh_a and_o gross_a without_o colour_n or_o taste_v in_o ground_n that_o be_v cold_a and_o moist_a because_o it_o be_v the_o sun_n which_o by_o its_o heat_n dissipate_v the_o cold_a and_o gross_a moisture_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o render_v it_o more_o subtle_a and_o delicate_a in_o those_o ground_n therefore_o into_o the_o which_o it_o pierce_v most_o the_o root_n find_v but_o little_a moisture_n do_v consequent_o increase_v but_o little_a in_o their_o wood_n but_o that_o sap_n which_o they_o do_v draw_v from_o thence_o be_v well_o prepare_v and_o very_o pleasant_a make_v their_o fruit_n sweet_a in_o substance_n and_o of_o a_o thin_a skin_n which_o take_v a_o better_a colour_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o ripen_v the_o soon_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o sun_n not_o be_v able_a to_o pierce_v into_o strong_a ground_n the_o tree_n be_v there_o nourish_v with_o a_o grosser_n moisture_n which_o render_v their_o fruit_n harsh_a unpleasant_a and_o long_o in_o grow_v ripe_a and_o as_o winter-fruit_n be_v long_o upon_o the_o tree_n and_o do_v need_v a_o great_a heat_n to_o ripen_v they_o so_o they_o do_v the_o more_o participate_v of_o the_o harshness_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o nourish_v they_o experience_n confirm_v this_o truth_n insomuch_o as_o we_o see_v that_o in_o cold_a and_o rainy_a year_n the_o fruit_n have_v neither_o taste_n nor_o beauty_n especial_o in_o such_o ground_n as_o be_v strong_a and_o moist_a after_o this_o discourse_n found_v upon_o reason_n and_o confirm_v by_o experience_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o know_v what_o ground_n be_v proper_a for_o each_o kind_n of_o fruit_n and_o i_o conceive_v it_o almost_o needless_a to_o go_v on_o to_o speak_v more_o particular_o of_o it_o nevertheless_o that_o i_o omit_v nothing_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o the_o plum-tree_n grow_v very_o well_o upon_o dry_a and_o stony_a ground_n because_o its_o root_n be_v strong_a and_o vigorous_a that_o the_o almond-tree_n take_v well_o also_o upon_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o ground_n because_o it_o require_v but_o little_a nourishment_n and_o that_o cherry-tree_n with_o other_o red_a fruit_n be_v more_o delight_v with_o a_o soft_a and_o sandy_a earth_n because_o their_o root_n be_v tender_a and_o spread_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o ground_n i_o must_v end_v this_o chapter_n as_o i_o begin_v it_o by_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o write_v for_o such_o as_o have_v garden_n and_o orchard_n situate_v in_o a_o excellent_a soil_n because_o that_o all_o sort_n of_o tree_n prove_v well_o in_o a_o good_a ground_n but_o the_o ground_n not_o be_v good_a everywhere_o and_o man_n resolve_v rather_o to_o cultivate_v and_o plant_v that_o place_n where_o their_o lot_n fall_v though_o bad_a then_o to_o quit_v it_o and_o seat_v themselves_o in_o a_o better_a soil_n i_o conceive_v it_o my_o duty_n by_o this_o advice_n to_o help_v they_o in_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o their_o ground_n and_o to_o draw_v all_o possible_a advantage_n from_o their_o bad_a situation_n by_o plant_v such_o tree_n as_o may_v prosper_v in_o it_o

whether_o it_o be_v too_o dry_a or_o too_o moist_a too_o hot_a or_o too_o cold_a may_v easy_o judge_v with_o what_o dung_n it_o be_v to_o be_v amend_v provide_v that_o he_o know_v the_o different_a
