פירוש על דמאי 5:7
Bartenura on Mishnah Demai
מעשר מזה על זה – for all of it is tithed or all of it is not tithed, and as long as they are from one kind and within the year, for we don’t separate priestly gifts from this year on that [of] another year.

English Explanation of Mishnah Demai
One who buys from a field owner, and then buys from him again, he may give tithes from the one [purchase] for the other, even when [the purchases come] from two baskets and even from two towns. If one buys directly from an am haaretz field owner he can tithe from one purchase for the other, under the assumption that the field owner may not have tithed any of his produce, and therefore the purchaser won’t separate tithes for non-tithed produce from other produce that has already been tithed. If the am haaretz did separate tithes, then there also will not be a problem, because he would have separated tithes from all of his produce. Therefore, the purchaser can separate from one lot and thereby exempt the other lots as well. This is true even if the field owner owns fields in different parts of town and sells produce from different baskets.

Bartenura on Mishnah Demai
ומגנות אחרות מעשר מכל אחת ואחת – owners of the gardens perhaps this one tithed and that one did not tithe [his produce].

English Explanation of Mishnah Demai
A field owner who was selling vegetables in the market: when he brings them from his garden, he may tithe from one for all; If one goes to the market and buys from a field owner, if the field owner only brought produce from his own field, then he may separate tithes from one lot for all of the produce that he buys.

English Explanation of Mishnah Demai
But [if he brings them] from other gardens, he must tithe each lot separately. However, if the field owner sells produce from other people’s gardens then the buyer must separate tithes for each lot individually, lest some of the sellers tithed and others did not.
