Apples, Peare maines, and such like long lasting fruit,
need not to be turned till the weeke before _Christmas_, vnlesse they be
mixt with other of a riper kind, or that the fallings be also with them,
or much of the first straw left amongst them: the next time of turning
is at _Shroue-tide_, and after that, once a moneth till _Whitson-tide_;
and after that, once a fortnight; and euer in the turning, lay your
heapes lower and lower, and your straw very thinne: prouided you doe
none of this labour in any great frost, except it be in a close Celler.
At euery thawe, all fruit is moyst, and then they must not be touched:
neither in rainy weather, for then they will be danke also: and
therefore at such seasons it is good to set open your windowes, and
doores, that the ayre may haue free passage to dry them, as at nine of
the clocke in the fore-noone in Winter; and at sixe in the fore-noone,
and at eight at night in Summer: onely in _March_, open not your
windowes at all.

All lasting fruite, after the middest of _May_, beginne to wither,
because then they waxe dry, and the moisture gone, which made them looke
plumpe: they must needes wither, and be smaller; and nature decaying,
they must needes rot. And thus much touching the ordering of fruites.
