Beans, or Pease. I do not know of which of these kinds 

 there was most, either of Wheat or Barley. It seemed as 

 though there was more Barley on the Gravesend side, 

 and that Wheat prevailed around Rochester. Of Oats 

 there was the least. We also saw in some places large 

 hop-grounds, hummel-ga. On the Gravesend side there 

 were extensive inclosures, planted with Cherry-trees ; 

 but towards and at Rochester there were not so many 

 of them. When we had come a mile out of Gravesend 

 we came to a little wood which consisted of all the above- 

 named kinds of leaf trees, where we set down as a great 

 rarity two trees which we had not before had the pleasure 

 to see growing wild in England; viz., our Birch, var 

 Bjork, which stood in a little bog,* Karr, and Juniper 

 bushes, Enbuskar, of which last we saw several on a 

 chalk-hill, where they grew on the rough chalk, and had 

 scarcely 3 inches of soil upon the chalk. They seemed, 

 however, to be tolerably luxuriant. 



Tragardar af Kersbars, Apple, Paron, och 

 Valndt tran. Orchards of Cherry, Apple, Pear, and Walnut 

 trees. I have just said that we saw here a great number 

 of Orchards, planted with Cherries and other fruit trees. 

 The notes I made about the orchards in this district are 

 given above under the 7th July. As far as regards the 

 other trees, we saw likewise a multitude of apple and 

 pear trees, planted either in the same orchard with the 

 cherry trees promiscuously, or also by themselves. The 

 earth under and between them was in [T. II. p. 41] the 

 same condition as I described on the 7th July respecting 

 the cherry trees, ploughed up, and used as an arable-field, 

 or grassfield, so that these fruit-trees stood in the middle 

 of crops or grass. They were, nevertheless, much better 

 adapted to have crops sown under and between them, 



* This certainly fixes the site at Denton. [J. L.]
