 Eaftern expofitions are here, as well as 

 every where elfe, more proper than thofe 

 of the Weft and North, to forward and 

 improve its produdions, witncfs ftraw- 

 berries, early peafe, cherries, ^c, to 

 ballance which, thefe laft, thefe Northern 

 expofitions, have likewife fome peculiar

 during the exceflive heats of fummer, 

 that often fcorch up every thing, and

 run up haftily to feed, they are exempt 

 from thofe violent imprefiions which 

 the fun makes upon thofe places that 

 are fully expofed to his burning rays ; 

 and confequently our plants will main- 

 ,tain themfelves longer in good plight 

 in thofe fituations than in the others.
