By fome trials I made, which, not having been 

 done with the accuracy I think neceflary, I do not 

 fpecify particularly, it appeared that if this kind had 

 been taken up at the beginning of Auguft, and at 

 that time compared with the white kidney fort em- 

 ployed in my former experiments, the Henley fort 

 would have afforded a crop more than double of what 

 the other fort would have afforded. But had the 

 crop been allowed to remain in the ground till the 

 middle of October, the kidney fort would have pro- 

 duced more than twice as much as the Henley kind. 

 My experiment was fufficiently accurate to allow 

 me to reft fatisfied with this refult. 



Hence it appears, that it would be equally bad 

 ceconomy in one who intended to lift his potatoes 

 in the month of Auguft, to plant the kidney fort, if 

 he could get the Henley, as it would be for him 

 who intended to let them remain in the ground till
