lighter. The deep red kind, with blackish ungues to the red 

 petals, produces black seed ; the lake coloured sort, dark grey 

 seed; the double white, yellowish or pale seed; the cream 

 and rose coloured, deep yellow seed ; and so on. These seeds 

 produce again the same varieties. 



JULY 1st. This month commenced with cool fair 

 weather, after the storms of yesterday. Notwithstanding 

 the season has been very different, the plants have flowered 

 at nearly the same time as last year, and some on the same 

 day. The Hypericum perforatum, Verbascum Lychnitis, and 

 V. virgatum, flowered to-day. I likewise first saw the Garden 

 Chrysanthemum and the Crepis barbata in flower. Roses, 

 Sweet Williams, Pinks, Convolvuli, Corn Flags, Poppies, 

 and other solstitial flowers now ornament the garden in 



profusion. Papaver Rhaeas and P. dubium are in flower 



numerously about Hartwell, from seeds sown by me in the 



autumn Among the former I observe none of the variety 

 with a dark spot at the base of the petals, so common in 



Surrey. 



2d. Agrimonia Eupatoria and Senecio aquations in flower ; 



they have the appearance of having been out a day or two. 



Weather showery again. 



3d. Oenothera biennis, Hemerocallisfulva, the greater and 



the lesser Garden Convolvulus, the Hawk's Eye, and others. 



Achillea MiUifolium is abundant in the fields. 



6th. A white variety of the Foxglove in flower at 



Walthamstow ; also Calendula officinalis, Tagetes Africana, 



&c. Stocks, and other late flowers, are now abundant. A 



Poppy is now flowering with red petals, except a perfectly 



white unguis. 



7th. A white variety of the Garden Poppy in flower ; 



that is, with white petals, a glaucous leaf, small capsule, and
