and give it the name of Garden-Cichory, though in- 

 deed they are the feme. But befides the goodnefc of 

 the ground, and greatnefs of the diftances, there 

 may be fome advantage to Field-Plants by changing 

 the Seed, by which action the fermentation is fuppo- 

 fed to be augmented in the Ground : Now thefe ' 

 changes are either from one kinde to another, as from 

 Wheat and Early, to Beans and Peafe, which is the 

 ufual Husbandry of common fields, or in the fame 

 Seed: Of the former way, Virgil gives chit Precept,

Of changing the Seed of the fame kinde, befides 

 Field Corn, which is generally changed every third 

 5eafon at the fartheft, examples may be had in Carna- ■ 

 tions and Gilly-flo vers, inVSeed of which, being 

 taken from the heft Flowers, are much meliorated by 

 alternation and change of Ground ; and it is like this 

 Experiment may hold in the feeds of other Flowers. 



Another Experiment, is the exoffation of Fruit, or

 effeft, the grafting of the upper end of the Cyon 

 downwards, hach been afferted to be a certain way : 

 That the Cyon fo grafted will grow, I have experi-
