“Strata jacent passim sua qiteque sub arbore pom a.” 
Virgil , Eck. VII, 54. 
With falling fruits and berries paint the ground. 
Dryden. 
“The fragrant stores, the wide projected heaps 
Of apples, which the lusty handed year, 
Innumerous, o’er the blushing orchard shakes ; 
A various spirit, fresh, delicious, keen, 
Dwells in their gelid pores ; and, active, points 
The piercing cider for the thirsty tongue.” 
Thomson! s “ Seasons I 
“ We have also large and various orchards and 
GARDENS, WHEREIN WE DO NOT SO MUCH RESPECT BEAUTY, AS 
VARIETY OF GROUND AND SOIL, PROPER FOR DIVERS TREES AND 
HERBS : AND SOME VERY SPACIOUS, WHERE TREES AND BERRIES ARE 
SET, WHEREOF WE MAKE DIVERS KINDS OF DRINKS, BESIDES THE 
VINEYARDS. IN THESE WE PRACTISE LIKEWISE ALL CONCLUSIONS 
OF GRAFTING AND INOCULATING, AS WELL OF WILD TREES AS OF 
FRUIT TREES. AND WE MAKE, BY ART, IN THE SAME ORCHARDS AND 
GARDENS, TREES AND FLOWERS TO COME EARLIER OR LATER THAN 
THEIR SEASONS ; AND TO COME UP AND BEAR MORE SPEEDILY THAN 
BY THEIR NATURAL COURSE THEY DO.” 
Bacon, “ New Atlantis .”
