Miller, of Cambridge, took a plant of wheat 
which had been fown in the beginning of 
June, divided it into 18 parts and putting 
them into the ground, let them remain till 
the latter end of Sipuanhne: when he again 
took them up, and fubdividing them into 67 
parts or roots, replanted them. In this ftate 
they remained till the end of March and the
