of Seed which it fprung from, weighing when ic was 
fown but ,7^, of an Ounce, was increafed in Weight ac- 
cording to the following Proportions, vlz^^ 
In Six Weeks time ^ ' 
Some time after, another Ounce of the fame fort of 
Seed was exadly weighed, and the Grains were found 
, to be in Number 14673. 
Another Turnip of the fame Crop was plucked up 
on the 21/? Day of O^oher; and being put into a Scale, 
j: was found to weigh above Ten Pounds and an half 5 
which unufual and truly wonderful Bulk it acquired 
i ( it being fuppofed, as above, that the Growth was 
all along alike ) by increafing the Weight of the Seed 
it was raifed from, ly times in every Minute of an 
Hour from the Sowing to the Drawing of it. 
The Gardener negleded to thin his Turnips in due 
Time, elfe probably their Growth had been more con- 
fiderable. 
At anotherTime, in two other forts of Turnip-Seed, 
it was found by counting, that an Ounce of one fort 
contained i47oz Grains-^ and an Ounce of the other 
fort no fewer chan E490J Grains. 
It’s credibly reported, chat of late Years, Turnips 
have been prcrry frequently found growing in feverai 
Counties of this kingdom that have v/eighed above 
twice as much , one of v, hich was fsen at Birmingham 
about the Year 1710.
