Of negligence and forgetfulnesse.

IF peradventure ye forget (through negligence) and haue let small Cions two or three yeares grow about the rootes of your stocks vnplucked vp, then if you haue so done, ye may well pluck them vp and set them in rankes, as the other of the Pepins. But ye must set the rankes more larger that they may be removed without hurting of each others rootes: and cut off all the small twigges about as need shal require, though they be set or graffed. Order them also in all things as those small Cions of a yeeres growth.
