yellow_a scarlet_a and_o deep_a red_a and_o to_o the_o sky-colour_n and_o deep_a blue_n with_o variety_n of_o mixture_n it_o be_v very_o rare_a to_o see_v a_o plant_n green_n yet_o there_o be_v such_o

that_o some_o tree_n will_v not_o thrive_v under_o the_o shade_n or_o drip_v of_o another_o as_o the_o drip_v of_o a_o walnut-tree_n and_o of_o a_o cherrytree_n be_v injurious_a to_o other_o tree_n because_o the_o leaf_n be_v bitter_a and_o the_o drip_v destroy_v such_o tree_n or_o plant_n that_o be_v under_o it_o the_o like_a do_v the_o drip_v of_o the_o leave_n of_o the_o artichoak_v and_o of_o hemp_n which_o destroy_v all_o other_o vegetable_n near_o it_o those_o ground_n be_v free_a from_o weed_n where_o they_o grow_v from_o that_o cause_n some_o plant_n will_v not_o thrive_v near_o other_o because_o they_o draw_v alike_o nourishment_n and_o so_o rob_v or_o deprive_v one_o another_o as_o strawberry_n and_o flower_n with_o fibrous_a root_n will_v not_o thrive_v together_o but_o plant_n that_o draw_v contrary_a nourishment_n will_v prosper_v very_o well_o near_o together_o as_o rue_v and_o lettuce_n together_o onion_n and_o savory_n or_o lettuce_n or_o purstain_v will_v

the_o hop_v the_o french_a bean_n or_o kidney_n bean_n and_o the_o periploca_n to_o a_o pole_n or_o stick_v and_o how_o they_o twist_v about_o they_o and_o how_o ill_o they_o thrive_v without_o such_o

adhere_v to_o it_o with_o love_n and_o delight_n several_a fruit-tree_n also_o will_v flourish_v better_o against_o a_o wall_n than_o single_a not_o because_o of_o the_o warmth_n or_o support_v only_o but_o their_o affection_n to_o a_o wall_n as_o the_o curran-tree_n will_v grow_v much_o fair_a and_o bear_v better_a fruit_n against_o a_o wall_n than_o any_o other_o way_n support_v although_o on_o the_o north-side_n of_o a_o wall_n the_o like_a be_v observe_v of_o some_o other_o fruit_n as_o plumb_n filberd_n etc._n etc._n the_o root_n of_o some_o tree_n will_v run_v far_o towards_o any_o

fence_n decline_v it_o and_o lean_a towards_o the_o more_o open_a air_n be_v it_o towards_o what_o coast_n it_o will_n the_o turn_n of_o a_o flower_n towards_o the_o sun_n or_o open_v when_o the_o

most_o of_o the_o tender_a seed_n must_v be_v keep_v till_o the_o spring_n as_o the_o seed_n of_o melon_n cucumber_n radish_n gillyflower_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o

to_o caterpillar_n as_o those_o that_o be_v sow_o late_o before_o winter_n or_o in_o the_o spring_n the_o reason_n may_v be_v that_o those_o swoon_n late_a being_n more_o young_a and_o tender_a be_v
