THe Fig-tree in some Country, beareth his fruit foure times a Yeare, the Blacke Figges are the best being dryed in the Sunne, and then layed in a Vessell in beddes one by another, and then sprinckled or strawed all over, every lay with fine Meale, then stop it up, and so it is sent out of that Land. If the Fig-tree will not
beare, ye shall digge him all about, and under the roots in Fe∣bruary, and take out then all his earth, and put unto him the dung of a Privie, for that he liketh best: ye may mingle with it of other fat earth, as Pigeons dung mingled with Oyle and Pepper stampt, which shall forward him much to noint his rootes therewith: ye shall not plant the Figge-tree in cold times, he loveth hote, stony, or gravelly ground, and to be planted in Autumne is best.
