The frames were uncovered about 8 o'clock in the 

 .morning, and covered up in the evening between 

 5 and 6 with about four inches thick of hay 'and 

 mats. In the forenoon I flopped the plants, thinned 

 sheir leaves, and fet the fruit in blolTom ; and 

 about 3 o'clock in the afternoon I gave to each three- 

 light frame about half a hoglhead of water warmed, 

 till it raifed the thermometer to 82 degrees ; and in 

 giving the water, the lights were taken off one at a 

 time, and the water poured all over the plants, flues, 

 and fides of the frames out of water-pots with rofes 

 on them, in imitation of a heavy fhower of rain. 

 When the watering was fmifhed, the lights were fliut 

 down for the night.
