«T The Place. 
The tame and graffed Apple trees are planted and fetin gardens and orchards made for that 
purpofe : they delight to grow in good and fertile grounds : Kent doth abound with apples of 
moll lorts.But I haue feene in the pallures and hedge-rows about the groundsof a worfhipful gen- 
tleman dwelling two miles from Hereford called Mailer Roger Bodnow, to many trees ot all forts, 
that the feruants drinkc for the moll part nootherdrinkebutthatwhich is made of App!es ; The 
quantity is fuch,thatby the report of the Gentleman himlelfe,the Parfon hath for tithe manv hog- 
fheadsof Syder.The hogs are fed with the fallings of them, which are fo many , that they make 
choife of thofe Apples they doeat, who will not tafte of any but of the bed. An example doubcles 
to be followed of Gentlemen that haue land -md lining: but entn'e faith,the poore wil break down , 
ourhedges,andwe fhall haue the lead part of the fruit)but forward in the name of God,gratfe, fet, 
plant and nourifh vp trees in euery corner of your grounds, the labour is final I, the coft is nothing, 
the commoditie is great, your felues fhall haue plenty, the poore fhall haue fomewhat in time o£ 
want to relieue their neceifttie, and God fhall reward yourgood mindes and diligence. 
The Time. 
They bloom about the end of April!, or in the beginning of May. The forward apples be ripe 
about the Calends ofluly, others in September.
