 Mr. Dixon s. It is true, Mr. Scroop's are 

 generally fpring ones. I cannot affert the 

 point ; but I believe the ballance in weight 

 lies in favour of the winter crop : I think 

 alio, that it flands to reafon it mould; for 

 the plants having all the fummer to increafe 

 in, may be fuppoied to grow to a larger 

 weight than when planted fo late as 'June ; 

 and the receiving the tranfplantation in the 

 fpring, which twenty to one is a wet feafon, 

 muff give a great fuperiority, upon an ave- 

 rage of years, over thofe planted at Mid/um- 

 mer, which is probably a dry one. 



But the comparifon does not concern 

 weight alone ; duration is of equal, and in 

 many cafes of fuperior importance ; we mud 

 run over the table, and fee if any conclulions 

 under this head can be drawn from it.
