quidam metiuntur fere diebus XXX. Tertium genus seminis, quod ex arbore per surclos defertur in terram, si in humum demittitur, in quibusdam est videndum ut eo tempore sit deplantatum, quo oportet (id fit tum, antequam gemmare aut florere quid incipit); et quae de arbore transferas ut ea deplantes potius quam defringas, quod plantae solum stabilius, quo latius aut radices facilius mittit.
Some authorities allow about thirty days for such planting. In the third method, which consists in transferring shoots from a tree into the ground, if the shoot is buried in the earth, you must be careful, in the case of some, that the shoot be removed at the proper time'that is, before it shows any sign of budding or blossoming; and that what you transplant from the tree you tear from the stock rather than break off a limb, as the heel of a shoot is steadier, or the wider it is the more easily it puts out roots.
