With still a high temperature, this month had a fair average of 

 rain ; consequently vegetation went on favourably. Between the 

 8th and 24th was a period of uninterrupted fine weather, excellent 

 for the perfecting of grain and the ripening of fruits. The latter 

 stood much in need of such to correct the super-abundance of 

 watery juice imbibed from the heavy rains of the preceding month. 

 These rains, however, came after many kinds had suffered from 

 excessive heat and dryness, which rendered them incapable of 

 swelling freely j or if they did, it was at a period of their growth too 

 far advanced for even the present fine weather completing the ela- 

 boration of their juices, so as to insure their good keeping qualities. 

 On walls some pears were even scorched, especially on west aspects, 

 where the first intimation they had of the sun was all at once from 

 the powerful influence of his meridian rays.
