c. 1629, quoted in Hogg's "Fruit Manual."

"Scarce one in twentie of our Nurseriemen doe sell the right,
but give one for another: for it is an inherent qualitie almost
hereditarie with most of them to sell to any man an ordinary
fruit for whatsoever rare fruit he shall ask for: so little are
they to be trusted."
