 plants, and goes over the coming crop in the 

 manner he had done the preceding year, 

 marking the earlieft of this earlier kind. In 

 a fimilar manner new varieties of APPLES are 

 raifed, by choofing the broadeft-leaved plants 

 among a bed of feedlings rifing promifcu- 

 ouily from pippins. 



HUSBANDMEN, it is probable, have hero 

 tofore been equally induflrious in producing 

 frefh varieties of CORN j or whence the end- 

 lei's variety of WINTER WHEATS? If they be 

 naturally of one and the fame fpecies, as 

 Linneus has deemed them, they muft have 

 been produced by climature, foil, or in- 

 duiiry ; for although nature fometimes fports 

 with individuals, the induftry of man is rer 

 quifite to raife, eftabhfh, and continue a 



PERMANENT VARIETY. 



Of late, the raifing of varieties has perhaps 

 been little attended to. Transferring thofe 

 already etfablifhed from one part of the 

 kingdom, or from one part of the world, to 

 another, has alone perhaps produced the re*
