devoting the whole five acres, and have no doubt 

 but the profit attending this mode of confumption 

 will equal any other. 



How far my cabbage crop entitles me to the 

 notice and approbation of the Society, I will not 

 pretend to fay ; the cultivation and attention paid 

 unto it deferved a better return. Yet I mud ob- 

 ferve, that confidering the number of fugar-loaf 

 intermixed with the Scotch, the produce is equal, 

 if not fuperior, to any I ever read of; I mean on 

 land of equal value. Befides, I muft remark, 

 that out of fifteen acres, certainly three acres of 

 the right fort might be produced, which, if fe- 

 lecled, would weigh at leaft ten tons per acre 

 more than the annexed calculation. 



However, I fubmit to the Society's determina- 

 tion, having no other view than the promotion of 

 thofe good ends for which it was eftablilhed. 



I am, Sir, 



Your humble fcrvant, 



Afhwick-Grove, J. BILLINGSLEY.
