καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖνα εὐβλαστότερα τῶν ἡμέρων ἐστὶ διὰ τὰς αὐτὰς αἰτίας· εἰς πλείω γὰρ καὶ κατὰ μικρὰ μεμερισμένων τῶν ἀρχῶν εὐκίνητα γίνεται τῷ περιέχοντι πρὸς βλάστησιν. ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἡ ξηρότης συμβάλλεται. καὶ γὰρ διὰ τοῦτ᾽ ἐλάττων ἡ ὑγρότης, τὸ δὲ ἔλαττον εὐκινητότερον. καλλίων μὲν οὖν καὶ ἀθροωτέρα τῶν εἰργασμένων ἡ βλάστησις καὶ ἡ καρπογονία, προτέρα δ᾽ ἐκείνη.
