¶ The Place.

The tame Peare trees are planted in Orchards, as be the apple trees, and by grafting, though vp on wilde stockes, come much varietie of good and pleasant fruits. All these before specified, and many sorts more, and those most rare and good, are growing in the ground of Master Richard 〈◊〉〈◊〉, a most cunning and curious graffer and planter of all manner of rare fruits, dwelling in a small village neere London called Twicknam; and also in the ground of an excellent graffer and painfull planter, Mr. Henry Banbury, of Touthill street neere Westminster, and likewise in the ground of a diligent and most affectionate louer of plants Mr. Warner neere Horsey downe by London, and in diuers other grounds about London. ‡ Most of the best peares are at this time to be had with Mr. Iohn Millen in Old-street, in whose nursery are 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be found the choisest fruits this kingdom yeelds. ‡
