 fpiring little, and having thereby a thick, 

 vifcid, oily fap, they can the better endure 

 the winter's cold, and fubfift with little frefh 

 nourifhment : They feem many of them to 

 fiourifh moft in the temperate feafons of the 

 year, but not fo well in the hotteft part of 

 Summer, becaufe their perfpiration is then 

 fomewhat too great,in proportion to the flow 

 afcent of the fap, which makes fome of them 

 at that feafon to abate of their vigor : Thus 

 fome plants, which grow and thrive with 

 the flow perfpiration of January and Fe- 

 bruary, perifh as the fpring advances, and the 

 warmth and perfpiration is too great for 

 them. And thus Garden Peafe and Beans, 

 ^which are fown in what is found to be their 

 proper feafon, viz. in November, January, 

 or February, tho' they make but a flow pro- 

 grefs in their growth upwards, during the 

 cold feafon, yet their roots, as alfo thofe of 

 winter corns, do in the mean time fhoot well 

 into the warmer Earth, fo as to be able to 

 afford plenty of nourifhment when the fea- 

 fon advances, and there is a greater demand 

 of it both for nutrition and perfpiration. But 

 when Peafe are fown in June, in order for a
