io6 A NEW SYSTEM CHAP. XXII. Explanation and Nature of different Sorts of PuJ/e, fuch as Vetch, ^are. Lentils, &c. THE following multiplicity of names, confufedly made ufc of by authors to convey the meaning of one plant, may well puzzle or confound the ideas of a far- mer, and fend him in fearch after plants, corn or grain, of which perhaps he himfelf may be already poflclTed. However it cannot be expected he fhould have a fufficient library of books, always at hand to clear up referrences. It... is enough to tell him, that though the many following names are made ufe of in different parts of the two kingdoms, yet vetch is a name that fuits our Englilh tongue befl, and what may be OF HUSBANDRY. 107 he underftood by every one that underftands the language : to this name is added fitch, fetch, thetch, thetches, fitches, chick and checkes : and thefc abfolutely mean one and the fame thing ; fome make the word of the fingnlar, and others the plural num- ber. Moft people are inclined to believe the real name of this pulfe to be vetch ; but this cannot be, as vetch is the Latin word for tare, and though the tare is of the pulfe-kind yet it hardly bears a refemblance to the vetch in queftion.
