The way to set Mulberries.

THere is also another way to set Mulberries as followeth, which is, if you doe cut in Winter certaine great Mulberry boughes or stockes asunder in the body (with a Saw) in tron∣cheons a foote long or more, then ye shall make a great furrow in good earth well and deepe, so that ye may cover well again your Troncheons, in setting them an end halfe a foote one from another, then cover them againe, that the earth may be above those ends, three or foure fingers high, so let them re∣maine, and water them in Summer, if need be sometimes, and cleanse them from all hurtfull weeds and rootes.
