ABSTRACT
The gardens belonging to missions house might be of fifteen acres of ground, divided into shady walks under the orange and lemon trees; there christian missionaries had the pomegranates, figs, and grapes in abundance, with the plantain, sapote, chicosapote, pine-fruit, and all other fruits that were to be found in Mexico. There were then also in Mexico three sorts of Greets, very broad and fair; the one sort was only of water, with many bridges, another sort of only earth, and the third of earth and water, the one half being firm ground to walk upon, and the other half for boats to bring provision to the city. The chief and principal division of this city when the Spaniards first conquered it was into two streets, the one was called Tlatelulco, that is to say, a Little Island, and the other Mexico, where Montezuma his dwelling and Court was, signifying in the language a spring.
