to make theft plants refemble, as nearly as poJJible> thofe 

 in No. 5. The variation between No. 6 and 7 was 

 with the fame view as that in No. 3 and 4. No. 8 

 was intended to difcover if plants are damaged in any 

 refpeflfor feed merely by being wounded^ and what is 

 the refult of planting feeds with many or few eyes.'] 



Experiment Third. 



On the fame patch of ground that was prepared for the 

 foregoing experiment, and immediately contiguous to the 

 8th row in the preceding experiment, (one row only inter- 

 vening, which will be afterwards taken notice of) was 

 planted on the fame day with them, feven other rows of 

 feeds, being each of them exactly of the fame fize and 

 weight with the foregoing ; fo that it was an exact repe- 

 tition of the fame experiment, intended to fave time. The 

 only difference between them was, that the feventh row 

 was here entirely omitted for want of room. The general 

 refult of thefe two experiments was as under ; the upper- 

 moft row of figures, where double, denoting the refult of 

 experiment 2d, and the undermoft of experiment 3d.
