 as much as convenient in the day, and shutting them again in 

 the evening. It is this which gives the fruit both flavour and

 second week in July until the middle of August, then a se- 

 cond house should become ripe, and continue to yield a

 foiled under it to obtain abundant crops. 



I have the honour to remain, 



your most obedient humble servant, 



Stow Hall, 

 \9th August, 1821.
