A GARDEN KALENDAR 285 



panulas ; & the border under the dining-room window 

 with the bloody-Double-wallflowers. Planted a bason in 

 the field with french-willows. Planted many dosens more 

 of Coss-lettuce against the buttery-wall, & down y e wall 

 against the Yard. 



Octob r - 25. Planted a large layer of the musk-rose from 

 M r - Budd against the board of the old barn. 



Wet season after very dry weather. 



26. Trimm'd, & tack'd the bottoms of the vines ac- 

 cording to Hit : the lower parts of those under the Dining- 

 room window are deficient in wood, 'till more can be got 

 from y e stems. 



Began curving two shoots in order to reduce two of the 

 vines to regular shapes from the bottom by degrees. 



Novem r - 5. Planted my Hyacinths, Narcissus's, Ranun- 

 culuss, Tulips, Crown-Imperials, & Anemonies in the border 

 against Parsons's. It had been trenched very deep with a 

 good Quantity of rotten tan, & was in perfect dry order 

 when the roots were put-in. 



Planted a small thriving larch at the east corner of 

 Baker's Hill ; two well-grown Provence-roses in the field- 

 shubbery ; and two Monthly roses in the orchard walk ; all 

 from North-Warnboro'. 



Fine sunny weather. Planted two rows of hardy lettuce 

 under the filbert-hedge against Parsons's. 



6. Trimmed & tack'd the fig-tree, leaving a leading 

 bough in the middle to fill the wall by degrees quite up 

 to the eaves. 



This tree is full of young wood, & fills the wall well ; & 

 may be carry'd by a second stage according to Hit up to 

 the tiles. 



Planted a number of Goose-berries & Currants from 

 M r - Johnson, good plants, in the or chard- walk, & among 

 the rasps. 



The Grapes lasted in good perfection 'till the beginning 

 of Novem r - those that were hung-up in the study are very 

 sweet, but shrivelled up like raisins, notwithstanding a 

 grape was stuck on the stem of each Cluster.
