34 CLIMATE, SEASONS, &c. Part i. 



not for the colour of the leaves of the 

 trees, all would look like June in England. 

 Nov. 4. Very, very fine. Never saw such plea- 

 sant weather. Di^^ing; Potatoes.

 shade. N. B. This is November.

 a November for an Englishman to see ! 

 My White Turnips have grown almost the 

 whole of their growth in this month. The 

 Swedish, planted late, grow surprising 

 now, and have a luxuriancy of appear- 

 ance exceeding any thing of the kind I 

 . ever saw. We have fine loaved lettu- 

 ces ; endive, young onions, young radish- 

 es, cauliflowers with heads five inches 

 over. The rye fields grow beautifully. 

 They have been food for cattle for a 

 month, or six weeks past.
