This is a vaft product, and certainly 

 proves, in a very clear manner, the fur- 

 prizing excellencies of this vegetable. 



The foil it requires to be in perfection 

 appears clearly in the above table, for that 

 of the latter three is very rich and deep; 

 and Mr. Scroop's, which yields fo much, 

 the fuperior product, one of the blacked:, 

 richeft, moift, crumbling loams I ever met 

 with — the true putre folum. The great 

 importance of an extreme rich foil to the 

 culture of lucerne is, therefore, extremely 

 evident ; and it is equally plain, that no ufe 

 can pay better, if fo well, as applying it to 

 this plant. Confidering the fmallnefs of the 

 expences, Mr. Scroop's crop far exceeds the 

 profit of moil: hop gardens. 



In refpect to manner of fowing, the 

 broad caff is the lead crop : Mr. Scroops 

 four feet rows the greater!, Mr. Penny % 

 and Mr. "Turners much the fame, v/z. 

 one foot and ten inches. But the iuperio- 

 rity of Mr. Scroop's foil prevents our con- 

 cluding ablblutely that his diitance is the 

 moft beneficial.
