three inches thick of hay and mats. Air was given 

 in the middle of the day, and the lights were (hut 

 clofe down all night. 



The frames were uncovered about 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, and fet the fruit in bloom. 



At 4 o'clock I took water about 85 degrees warm, 

 and poured it plentifully on the flues, and then fhut 

 the lights clofe down. The plants are very vigorous, 

 and their roots appear thick all over the furface of 

 the mould, and are matted clofe to the flues, and 

 where the bare parts of the flues are moifl, there the 

 roots are run upon them*
