The Natural History of Selborne

Young swallows in nest.  Hops very ordinary: very small.

Wasps encrease, & injure peaches & nect: & begin on the grapes. Young martins come out.

Sad harvest & hop-picking weather!  Rain damages the wall-fruit.

Little barley housed.

People begin to pick hops.

Young wagtails come out.  Delicate peaches & nectarines in plenty.  * The beards of cone-wheat do not long preserve the grain from sparrows: for as the corn gets ripe those aritae are shaken off by the wind.

Some perennial asters begin to blow.  Grapes rather small as yet.  Several bunches begin to turn.

Orleans plums begin to ripen.  Hops continue small & have not grown kindly since the storm.
