AN ACCOUNT OF FROST, AS TAKEN "FROM VERY MINUTK 

 OBSERVATION IN A GENTLEMAN'S GARDEN IN LINCOLN- 

 SHIRE. 



BY C. S., A SECOND GARDENEB. 



The following particular account of the degrees of frost on the days 

 stated were ascertained by a registering thermometer, being regularly 

 visited morning and evening. Having the care of several stoves, 

 greenhouses, &c, I have found that attention to the particulars of a 

 former year has been useful to me in successive ones, in regulating 

 the fire's, so as to keep a due degree of heat. I ascertained, too, 

 what tenderish kinds of plants out of doors could endure of cold with- 

 out perishing, &c. What has been useful to me, 1 judge maybe so to 

 others who have a similar charge, especially amateur plant-growers, 

 that I forward the account for insertion in the Cabinet.
