The frames were uncovered a little before 9 o'clock 

 in the morning, and covered up in the evening with 

 about four inches thick of hay and mats. Air was 

 given at 9 o'clock in the morning, and continued all 

 day, and a little left at every light all night. 



To-day I mixed together the moid and dry mould 

 that lay on the flues, and laid it round the fides of the 

 hills ; and I laid about an inch thick of it among the 

 ftems and vines of the plants ; and having made the 

 furface of the hills level, I trained the plants out care- 

 fully, and pegged them down here and there at their 

 joints, lightly covering thofe part with mould, in order 

 that they might flrike root, and thereby ftrengthen 

 themfelves. The hills now on all fides cover about 

 three inches of the furface of the flues, and the other 

 parts of the flues are left nearly bare of mould. 



Tuefday.
