CHAP. III.

_Of the setting or planting of the Cyons or Branches of most sorts of
Fruit-trees._

As you are to furnish your nursery with all sorts of kernells and
stones, for the breeding of stockes where on to graft the daintiest
fruits you can compasse, so shall you also plant therein the cyons and
branches of the best fruit trees: which cyons and branches doe bring
forthe the same fruit which the trees doe from whence they are taken,
and by that meanes your nursery shall euer afford you perfect trees,
wherewith either to furnish your owne grounds, or to pleasure your
neighbours. And herein by the way you shall vnderstand that some trees
are more fit to be set then to be sowne, as namely, the Seruice-tree,
the Medler, the Filbert and such like. Now for the Seruice-tree, hee is
not at all to be grafted, but set in this wise: take of the bastard
cyons such as be somewhat bigger then a mans thumbe, and cutting away
the branches thereof, set it in a fine loose moulde, at least a foote
deepe, and it will prosper exceedingly, yet the true nature of this tree
is not to be remoued, and therefore it is conuenient that it be planted
where it should euer continue: in like manner to the Seruice-tree, so
you shall plant the bastard cyons of the Medlar-tree either in March or
October, and at the waine of the moone.

Now for the Filbert, or large Hassell-nut, you shall take the smallest
cyons or wands, such as are not aboue two yeeres groath, being full of
short heauie twigges, and grow from the roote of the maine tree, and set
them in a loose mould, a foote deepe, without pruning or cutting away
any of the branches, and they will prosper to your contentment. Now for
all sorts of Plumbe-trees, Apple-trees or other fruit-trees which are
not grafted, if you take the young cyons which grow from the rootes
cleane from the rootes, and plant them either in the spring, or fall, in
a fresh and fine mould, they will not onely prosper, but bring forth
fruit of like nature and qualitie to the trees from whence they were
taken.

Now for your grafted fruit, as namely, Apples, Plumbes, Cherryes,
Mulberries, Quinces, and such like, the cyons also and branches of them
also will take roote and bring forth fruit of the same kinde that the
trees did from whence they were taken: but those cyons or branches must
euer be chosen from the vpper parts of the trees, betwixt the feast of
all-Saints and Ch
