Saturday^ July 6, 1793, 



kburs. S.Th. P.Th. Then Wind. 



in the morning the plants were flopped, their leaves 

 thinned, and the fruit in bloflbm fet. Air was plen- 

 tifully admitted all day, and fome left all night. Be- 

 tween 5 and 6 in the afternoon I gave to each frame 

 of plants 6 fmall pots of water y^ degrees warm, 

 which I poured all over their leaves in imitation of a 

 fliower of rain. To-day we gathered cherries for the 

 firft time this fummer j they grew on an eafi: afped, 

 but the tree is planted on the weft fide of the wall, 

 and its branches are trained over the w^all on the eafl 

 fide, and there the fruit ripens before thofe on the 

 fame tree, on the weft afped.
