Τὰς δὲ μανότητας καὶ πυκνότητας τῶν φυτευομένων οὐχ οὕτω πρὸς τὸν τόπον ὡς πρὸς αὐτὰ τὰ φυτευόμενα σκεπτέον ὅσα τε φιλόσκια καὶ μὴ καὶ ὅσα μακρόρριζα καὶ βραχύρριζα· τὰ μὲν γὰρ δῆλον ὅτι μανὰ τὰ δὲ πυκνὰ φυτευτέον. φιλόσκια δὲ ὧν οἱ καρποὶ ξηροί τε καὶ πυρηνώδεις ὥσπερ ῥόας καὶ μυρρίνου καὶ ὅσα φύσει μανά τε καὶ ξηρὰ καὶ μὴ μακρόρριζα καθάπερ ἡ δάφνη.
