To plant or set towardes the South, or Sunny place, is best.

AFore ye do pluck vp your trées for to plant them, if ye will marke the southside, of ech trée, that when ye shall replant them, ye may set them againe as they stood be∣fore, which is the best way as some doe say. Also if ye kéepe them a certaine tyme, after they be taken out of the earth, before ye replant them again, they wil rather recouer there in the earth, so they be not wette with raine, nor otherwise, for that shall be more contrary to them than the great heate or drought.
