The difficulty of determining the beft feafon for fowing feeds in the 

 fprino-, owing to the variation of the weather in the fame latitude, 

 as well as in laying down the exa<5l feafons for fowing in different

fioned Linneus toconftrudt, what he terms a calendar 



of Flora ; which was afterwards adapted to this cHmate by St 

 fleet ; which confifted in obferving the firfl appearance of the 

 fcions, or flowers of the uncultivated native vegetabh 

 tions to fow the cereaha, or harveft feeds, when 



with d 



fuch

flowers became vifible. By attention to fuch obfervations on the un- 

 cultivated native plants in many climates, it is probable, that ingeni- 

 ous tables might be produced, which might dire6l the beft time of 

 fowing the ufeful feeds in all latitudes, and in all fituations. 



Another table of the cHmates, where plants grow naturally, and of 

 their native fituations in refpe6l to moifture or drynefs, hill or valley, 

 with the kind of foil where they were origiii^ally^ found, might alfo 

 contribute to their fuccefsful cultivation.
