Thurfday, June 13, 1793* 



Hours. S.Th. P.Th. Ther. Wind. 



The frames were uncovered about 7 o'clock in the 

 morning, and covered up about 5 in the afternoon 

 with double mats. About noon the plants were flop** 

 ped, their leaves thinned, and the fruit in bloflbm 

 fet. Air was given at 8 o'clock in the morning, and 

 taken away at 3 in the afternoon. To-day I had a 

 new lining applied to the north fide of the bed. The 

 old lining being exhaufted, there was no heat in it, 

 but a warmth, and that derived from the fouth fide 

 lining ; therefore I had it all removed, except only 

 about fix inches of the top of it, which was not quite 

 exhaufted, and which I had laid in the foundation of 

 the new lining. The new lining was made of a mix* 

 ture of cow and horfe dung, which had lain in a heap 

 for a few days till it had become very warm.
