I am alfo well informed by the Rev. Mr 



Pole of Radborne, that the roots of thofe turnips, which were draw, 

 out of the ground and tranfplanted, became confiderably larger thai 

 thofe, which were only hoed in the common manner ; which I fup 

 pofe to have been owing to many of the extremities of the roots hav 

 inc. been torn off in drawing them out of the ground ; and that thenc 

 the tendency to (hoot up the new central (lem is delayed, and th 

 fervoir of nourifhment accumulated in the tube

and hence probably the tranfplanting turnips by means

But the great advantage of tranfplanting wheat above the drill 

 hufbandry confifls in being able at the fame time to divide the 



fcions from each oth

Another great advantage of tranfplanting wheat confifts in this, that 

 it may be fowed in a garden, one acre of which will produce fets for 

 one hundred acres, if they be divided and planted at nine inches dif- 

 tance from each other ; and as they are not to be tranfplanted till the 

 fprins;, wheat may be thus cultivated in moifter fituations than would 



fe be friendly to its grow

And that a clean crop may be certainly thus procured ; 

 the land be ploughed immediately before the plants are fet out, the 

 corn will fpring much quicker from the plants, than the weeds from 

 their feeds ; and the corn will thence bear down the growth of the 

 weeds. 



For many other particulars the reader is referred to the ingenious 

 paper of Mr. Bogle above mentioned, who thinks the tranfplanting
