 The nutritive powers of the straws and leaves are, 

 therefore, more than twice as great as those of the 

 flowers. This species, being strictly annual, is of 

 comparatively little value. The above particulars 

 shew that it has very considerable nutritive powers, 

 more than its name would imply, if taken at the. time 

 of flowering; but if left till the seed be ripe, it is like 

 all other annuals comparatively of no value.
