 but little air admitted in the day-time, andlefs in the

 flopped them, thinned their leaves, and fet the fruit 

 in bloom. The linings were examined, and put 

 clofe to the bed, and then a layer of frefh dung laid 

 on the top of them.

The frames were uncovered about half paft 8 o'clock 

 in the morning, and covered up in the evening with 

 about four inches thick of hay and mats. In the 

 forenoon I went over the plants, and flopped them, 

 thinned their leaves, fet the fruit that were in bloom, 

 and where I found them too thick, I nipped off feve- 

 ral fhowing fruit. 



About 3 o'clock in the afternoon I got water about 

 85 degrees warm, and therewith T watered well the 

 fides of the hills all round about, and I poured fome 

 on every part of the flues. I ufed about a hogfhead 

 of water, and when the watering was finifhed, I had 

 the lights fhut down clofe till about 8 o'clock at 

 night, when a little air was admitted at every light.
