THE HVSBAND MANS FRVITEFVLL ORCHARD.

For the true ordering of all sorts of
_Fruits in their due seasons; and how double_
increase commeth by care in gathering
_yeere after yeare: as also the best way_
of carriage by land or by water:
_With their preseruation for_
longest continuance.

{SN: Cherries.}
Of all stone Fruit, Cherries are the first to be gathered: of which,
though we reckon foure sorts; _English_, _Flemish_, _Gascoyne_ and
_Blacke_, yet are they reduced to two, the early, and the ordinary: the
earely are those whose grafts came first from _France_ and _Flanders_,
and are now ripe with vs in _May_: the ordinary is our owne naturall
Cherry, and is not ripe before _Iune_; they must be carefully kept from
Birds, either with nets, noise, or other industry.

{SN: Gathering of Cheries.}
They are not all ripe at once, nor may be gathered at once, therefore
with a light Ladder, made to stand of it selfe, without hurting the
boughes, mount to the tree, and with a gathering hooke, gather those
which be full ripe, and put them into your Cherry-pot, or Kybzey hanging
by your side, or vpon any bough you please, and be sure to breake no
stalke, but that the cherry hangs by; and pull them gently, lay them
downe tenderly, and handle them as little as you can.

{SN: To carry Cherries.}
For the conueyance or portage of Cherries, they are best to be carried
in broad Baskets like siues, with smooth yeelding bottomes, onely two
broad laths going along the bottome: and if you doe transport them by
ship, or boate, let not the siues be fil'd to the top, lest setting one
vpon another, you bruise and hurt the Cherries: if you carry by
horse-backe, then pannie
