2i8 lUviezo of Mr. C.crlis's Pamphlet on Grajfes. 



in preference to others, Mr. C. goes on to give a concife 

 account or charafter of twenty-feven other graifes, derived, as 

 he fays, from fourteen years culture and obfervation. Among 

 thefe he mentions the tall-meadow-oats as being early, 

 productive, and affording a plentiful after-math. 



The author proceeds next to give practical directions for 

 lowing the feeds which he recommends. From the numerous 

 applications made to him by a variety of gentlemen, for grafs- 

 feeds, it appeared incumbent on him to do fomething which 

 might gratify them, and render the pubHc an effential fervice. 

 He has accordingly provided alTortments of feeds put in packets, 

 ready for fowing ; each kind of feed being in that proportion 

 which fuits beft. At the end of this chapter, Mr. C. obferves, 

 that common v/orms, by "throwing up great quantities of 

 earth, contribute greatly in meadow lands to prevent the 

 rrowth Gjf mofs, as well as to afford frefli foil for the roots of 

 plants to fhoot into, and for feeds to vegetate in:" He calls 

 them '* the natural diggers and dungers of land ; worm cads 

 being nothing more than the dung of the worms." 



Then follows a botanical arrangement of the Englifn graffes 

 in twenty-five genera, with the Trivial and Englifh names 

 annexed ; and the work concludes with an appendix, 

 containing hints relative to the improvement of meadows, 

 in refpect to their produce, bateablenefs and early growth.— 

 The packet of grafs-feeds may be had at No. 3, St. George's 

 Crefcent, near the Obehflv, Black-Friar's Road, London,, 

 price half a guinea.
