 morning, and covered up at 6 in the afternoon with 

 double mats. In the morning the plants were flop- 

 ped, their leaves thinned, and the fruit in bloom 

 fet. Air was given plentifully till 4 o'clock. To- 

 day I had a frefli lining applied to the fouth fide of 

 the bed. There was no heat in the old lining, it was 

 therefore all wheeled away except a little dung which 

 was lately laid on the top of it, and v.'hich was laid 

 afide, and fhaken into the foundation of the new lining. 

 The new lining was made with dung taken from 

 among the cow-cribs. To-day I began to cut melons.
