    The PREFACE. In this Decad, Anethum, &c. farther explain the umbelli¬ ferous Plants. Anonis introduces the papilionaceous Flowers. Anthora, Aquilegia, Ariftolochia, Artanita, Afclepias, Afpa- ragus, are of Tribes, wherein there are but few of a Family* Aparine brings in the Stellate After the Corymbiferae radia¬ te * Atriplex the apetalous and emollient Pot-herbs ^ and A- vena the Culmiferous and Corn Kind : To which is added, the Arundo, the -large]} of the Grafs Tribe • with its Brethren, Milium and Panicum. Under the Head of A vena, I have taken Occafion to fpeak, not'Only of the different Sorts of Oats, but alfo of the Culture, Improvement of Arable Ground (whether Fertile or Barren) the different Methods of preparing it for Food, and its ufefulnefs in Enclofures, for bringing up of Timber-Trees, Broom, &c. 1 have been the more particular on this Head, becaufe, it ha• ving been neglefted by the ingenious Writers of this Age, who only treat of Improving more fertile Grounds, I hope this will not be unufeful to thofe9 who being poffeffed of fuch Lands, are unacquainted with the Ufe they make of Oats elfewhere. Being in good Hopes this Third Decad will find the fame fa¬ vourable Reception which the other two have met with j I /ball endeavour to have the Fourth in Readinefs, when it JbaJl be ealVd for by the Publifber.
