or the knottes be giue to burgyne that for that straet drawyng the burgeos be not hurt thā mayst thou dow the sam with diuers trees dyuers frutes make one tree beare to dyuers fruytes of dyuers coloures Also it is to wyte that at the vine be good earth syred it selfe of to many scurges it is good to ent that of wyth a knyfe if it lacke yet ouermoche delue the stock a boutand fyll the pyt●full of grauel of a floude medled with ashes Also sum men saye doo in to the pyt a good quantyte of small stones that is good therfore Item it is to wite that whā the mone is in Tauro it is good tyme to plant trees of graeues and pepins whan she is in Lācro Leo or Libra it is good workyng of trees that be new sproung and whā the moone is virgo it is good tyme to sowe all maner thinges And frō the myddes of Septembre vnto the myddes of December is open tyme of plantynge ād ryght so from the myddes of Ianuari to the middes of Marche but yet in thes tymes it is good to those whan thee moone is .v. vi vii viii or .x. dayes be fore the full mone And after the full in cone when she is xxi xxii xxiii xxiiii or xxv dayes olde for this quarter of the mone is most temperate Item euery plantynge is to dispose it so that the sōne beames may come to the rote or to the earth from the houre of terce vnto none And be planted in the best maner And that the trees that be bearing ād of great height that party that stode toward the north he be set agaynst the northwynde and the northwest wynde For the heyght northwynde the northwest wynd hath kynd to kyll and drye to muche the trees that be newe set for theyr vnmeasurable greatnes the earth must be ordeined so that it be neither to fat nor grauelly but proporcionably Al maner of pepyus carnels and greynes must be set in the earthe in depenes of foure or fyue fingers brede that eche be from other halfe a fore Alway kepyng thys specyall rule that the ende or grayne of the pepyn that standes next the rotte be northest in the setting that other ende vpward toward heauen And that thou moist them twise or thryse in the daye not rottyng but dewyng or springlyng this is a preuitie among connynge men that in uere is most conuenable tyme for sedes graeues pepyns and Autumne of sprynges and plantes Whan thou wylt take a setteleng that spryngeth cut of an other tre rote make a delue ther about after the quantite therof so depe tyl thou come to the great rote that the sprynge groweth out of ād thou muste cutte it of and holdynge the edge of the knyfe toward the tree ground and cutte it so with a slope draught leaue as much of the earth about the roote and stocke of the setting as thou may ād sette it in a good ground ordeyned therfore and in a conuenient tyme as it is before sayd if any spryng so groweth out of any tree chose it that groweth right out that be not ouer longe but euen without any small braūches holding the knife in the cutting alway toward the tree as is aboue sayde Also yf thou wylt remoue a tree that is great or bearyng frute chose the a ful moone frō the middes of Octobre to the myddes of Dicembre hauing vp the rootes as hole as thou may leauing as much of his owne earch about the rote as thou maye with the same maner and other as thou doest with setting of small trees setling it is no force though the moone be not euen in the full so she be in the .ii. or .iii. quarter the gouernayle of these plantes is dublynge of bearyng of fruyte Also yf thou wilt kepe late set plātes kepe thē frō velpertyn raynes from windes namely in haruest for it is not great difficulte in vere against the commyng of wynter set or sticke about the setling many bowes that the northen wynde or greatnes of other wyndes destroye it not put donge medled which strawe about the stock toward the roote of a good thicknes that frost snow congyle nat on the rote and make a depe valey about the rote the space of .vi. or .vii. fote that the water abide not and frese about the rote in haruest that is betwene somer wynter that whan winter cometh it may be filled with donge and solet it stand al the winter and in ver put vnder the dong newe earth and cut a way al the vnprofytable branches mayke it cleane aboute the stocke and the rotes from wormes scurfes and mosses and euyll wedes goinge aboute the braynches all the close of thyne or charde wole be set a bout withe other hithe trees that beare on frute that the fleuers mygte be kepte safe from windes And beware that no fruyte be gathered of no tree before the tyme for that is a ryght greate and at preuy harmyng to the tree The maner of graffyng The great stocke must be chosen in good ground and it must be smothe and euen and cut it with out the earth the length of a fout or more yf it be as great as thi thombe or moore if it be greater loke that the cutyng be euen ouerthwarte the stocke and a side and it must be clouen a boue in the middes of the pith the length of two fyngers breade and in the clyfte set thy graffe whiche must be chosen of the best tre The stocke is of the chefe graffe that standeth right vpwarde that hath a knot of the forne yere And an inche beneth that saide knot cut thy graffe white it on both sydes euen in maner of a wedge as farre as it shal go in to the clifte of the stocke it must be so euen twhiten that the ayre may not com be twene the clyfte and the graffe and then close it withe good tēperate earthe a boute the graffe for defence of raine and wether If thou wilt graffe diuers frutes vpon one stocke that hath as many braunches as thou wylte haue graffes on in euere braūche set agraffe in maner fourme as it is sayde before euermore chose thy graffe on the sunne side of the tree that beareth it next the top yf you may than mayst thou graffe dyuerse frutes in one clifte but none of them maye be thycker then other as thy reason wyll tell them the workyng To haue fruite without cores loke thou haue a sufficient graffe stocke there which as I sayde be fore chose a graffe of good merle tree and cut it on thys maner that the end of the graffe that was vpwarde next the fyrmament must be twhiten like the neder of a comyn graffe the nether ende turned vpward it is to be donne slelye this rule is trewe in all trees that haue stones
