and the compartments nimibered, and their subdivisions lettered ; and this plan, as well 

 as another exhibiting every scene under the gardener's care, should be framed and hung 

 up in the office for constant reference. 



2348. The produce-book may be either a quarto or octavo volume, ruled with blue 

 lines across both pages, with a column for the date on the left-hand page, and tlie other 

 blank for signatures. In this book is to be entered daily, on the left-hand page, the disposal 

 of produce gathered or taken from the garden or garden-stores, as the fruit-room, ice- 

 cold room, &c. On the right-hand page the name of the party in the family of the 

 master receiving it is to be signed by the receiver as a receipt. Such books are not 

 uncommon in first-rate gardens ; and, like the game-book and cellar-book, are of very 

 considerable use.

There is a very good model of this description, called the Naturalist's Kalendar, by the 

 Honorable Daines Barrington, in quarto, which may be procured and filled up. Indeed 

 every apprentice ought to be made to keep such a kalendar, for the sake of inducing habits 

 of observation. For further instruction, see the Naturalist'' s Kalendar, of White, and 

 Naturalist'' s rocket-booh, of Graves. It has been judiciously remarked {Farjn. Mag. 

 1820.), that in all kalendars of nature, particular attention should be paid to the in- 

 florescence of aquatics, as these are much more regular in their times of foliation and 

 flowering than land plants. The comparative denseness of the medium in which they 

 live, prevents their being affected by winds or rains, and probably also by electrical and 

 other atmospherical changes.

 witli columns may be adopted, or a table (fg. 414.) may be fixed on, in which the ver-
