PARAG. IX.

Also the preparation of wholesome drinks out of Gooseberries, Barberries, Mulberries, and other wild fruits.

THis refers it self to the second, and 8 Paragraph: for the same Art which makes for the maturation of immature grapes serves also for this business, and it is one and the same process on al sides, only one excepted, which is the correcting of that wild odor of those wild fruits, which is not in grapes, for which cause grapes are to be preferred before those; but those before these for the aboundance of them in every place; and these also may be planted sooner, and easier then grapes, which cannot be propagated in unmanured places. For if a∣ny sprout of one or two spans, of gooseberries, or barberries, be set in the earth in the spring, it can produce fruits the very same yeare, even in cold countries, and unmanured places: yet a fatter place produceth fatter, and greater kernels, and fruits.
