Τὰ δὲ σπέρματα καθάπερ ἐπὶ τῶν δένδρων ἐκ τῶν ὁμοίων ἢ τῶν χειρόνων ληπτέον ὅπως δὴ μηδεμία μεταβολὴ ἢ ἐπὶ τὸ βέλτιον γίνηται. καίτοι φασὶν ἐκ τῆς ἀγαθῆς ἰσχυρότερα εἶναι δι᾽ ὃ καὶ ἐπὶ δύο ἔτη διαμένειν τὴν δύναμιν. εἰ δὲ τοῦτο ἀληθὲς ὅμοιον ἂν εἴη καὶ τὸ ἐπὶ τῶν φυτευμάτων τὸ τὰ κάλλιστα καὶ ἰσχυρότατα λαμβάνειν ὥστ᾽ ἀμφοτέρως ἂν ἔχοι λόγον.
