Idoneus locus eligendus, ubi facias salictum et harundinetum, sic alia quae umidum locum quaerunt, contra ubi segetes frumentarias, ubi fabam potissimum seras, item alia quae arida loca secuntur; sic ut umbrosis locis alia seras, ut corrudam, quod ita petit asparagus; aprica, ut ibi seras violam et hortos facias, quod ea sole nutricantur, sic alia.
So a suitable place is to be chosen for planting a willow bed and a reed thicket, together with other plants which prefer humid ground; and on the other hand places best suited for planting grain crops, beans, and other plants which like dry ground. Similarly, you should plant some crops in shady spots, as, for instance, the wild asparagus, because the asparagus prefers that type; while sunny ground should be chosen for planting violets and laying out gardens, as these flourish in the sun, and so forth.
