from the place and groun J they were in. And ye muft alfo con-

trees, that every kinde of tree may profper aad grow, and it ir to 
be conlidered alfo, if the trees have commonly growne afore fo

Horp to place or fet trees at large, 
I N this thing ye fhall confider, ye muft give a competent (pace 
from one tree to another, when as ye make the holes to fet them 
in, not nigh, nor that one tree touch the other. For a good tree 
planted, or let well at large, it profiteth oftentimes more of fruit 
then three or foure trees, let too nigh together. The greatett
