CHAP. VII.
Of the manner of making Siences for to plant.
FOr to make Siences of diuers sorts, which you may plant and set ••••••••∣ding
as you shall haue need, cut in the Winter some great tree, if it be∣gin
to be yellow, or vvaxe bleake and pale, and whereof you 〈◊〉〈◊〉
haue increase: saw off some stockes of the thickest braunches into ••••••∣choons
about the length of a foot, and make a furrow in some verie far ground, and of
that depth as that you may set your ••••uncheons in them endwaies, the earth cast vpon
and courering them some three or foure fingers, and prouiding that being thus 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in
this furrow they may stand halfe a foot one from another: couer them well and vva∣ter
them in Sommer if there be need, and weed them verie well: its space of time they
will put forth ••iences, which you may remoue when they haue taken root•••••• two or
three yeares: but and if they haue not as then any roots, set them good and deepe in∣to
good earth, that so you may cause their roots to grow. And these ••iences will p••••
forth other which will likewise serue. Marke it, that all trees that put forth 〈◊〉〈◊〉,
if you cut them in Winter, they will shoot out aboundance of ••iences, all which
will be good to be planted.
The barberie, redde corant, and goose-berrie-trees, are planted likewise in Win∣ter
vpon ••iences that come out of their roots, and they must haue some hairy 〈◊〉〈◊〉
but and if they haue no roots, there must some be procured to grow out of them.
