pearance of the third. I then thought that the 

 produce would be greatly deficient ^ but the fize of 

 the grains in a good meafure prevented it. 



The conclufion which I am tempted to draw 

 from thefe two circumflances is this^ that the Sibe- 

 rian requires richer land than the common barley. 

 In my land, there appeared to be fufficient ftrength 

 to produce all that luxuriance of growth which 

 feems natural to the plant while in the grafs, but 

 not fufficient to fupport it in forming the car. I arn 

 the m.ore inclined to think tnis, having feen ears of 

 Siberian barley of feventeen grains in length, which 

 is the greateft length I remember to have obferved 

 in the comnrron barley. 



It may be remarked, that the circumftance of 

 its requiring richer land does not feem to recom-

 that county^ for it feems evident from thence^ that 

 the Siberian barley may be, and perhaps ought 

 to be, Ibwn a fortnight later than the common
