62 Buds of Hamburgs mostly breaking. Owing to 

 the changeable weather, there is some fear that 

 there has been too much heat, as a few of the 

 shoots appear weak. Plenty of air has been 

 given daily. 



64 Buds of Muscat of Alexandria breaking. Fruit 

 buds appear on the Hamburgs,

80^61 :The buds have broken remarkably fine: almost 

 every bud throughout the house is opening. 

 Longest shoot on Hamburg was four inches at 

 noon. The Muscat, which broke first last year, 

 is now the most backward. Querc — Is it not 

 owing to excessive bleeding ?
