are corals. Some say Aronim, 'Armonim, Almogim. 'Arinim are ore,  'Armonim are plane trees, Almogim are corals. nbsp; MISHNAH. ONE WHO BUYS TWO TREES IN ANOTHER MAN'S FIELD DOES NOT ACQUIRE OWNERSHIP OF THE GROUND.  R. MEIR SAYS: HE DOES ACQUIRE OWNERSHIP OF THE GROUND. [IF THE TREES] GREW LARGE [THE LANDOWNER] MUST NOT CUT DOWN THEIR BRANCHES.  WHATEVER GROWS FROM THE STEM IS HIS [THE BUYER'S],  AND [WHATEVER GROWS] FROM THE ROOTS [BELONGS] TO THE LANDOWNER.  IF [THE TREES] DIED [THE BUYER] HAS NO [CLAIM TO THE] GROUND.  ONE WHO BOUGHT THREE [TREES] HAS [IMPLICITLY] ACQUIRED [OWNERSHIP OF THE] GROUND.  [IF] THEY GREW LARGE,  [THE LANDOWNER] MAY CUT DOWN THEIR BRANCHES.  WHATEVER GROWS FROM THE STEM AND FROM THE ROOTS [BELONGS] TO HIM [THE BUYER]. IF [THE TREES] DIED [THE BUYER] HAS [A RIGHT TO THE] POSSESSION OF THE GROUND. GEMARA.

[Is it not, then,] obvious that he has to bring and to recite?  Hence it may be inferred from this [superfluous Mishnah] that R. Meir subjects to the obligation even him who buys fruit in the market.  But is it not written: Which thou shalt bring in from thy land?  — This is to exclude [the fruit grown] in Foreign Territory.  But is it not written: [The choicest first fruit of] thy land [thou shalt bring]?  — [This is] to exclude the land of a heathen.  But is it not written: The first fruits of [the land] which thou … hast given me? — [This means: The fruits] for which thou hast given me money with which to buy [them]. Raba raised an objection: [It has been taught]: He who buys a tree in another man's [field] brings [the first ripe fruit] but does not recite [the declaration], because he has not acquired ownership of the ground,  [these are] the words of R. Meir.  — This is, indeed, a refutation. R. Simeon b. Eliakim said to R. Eleazar:
