The planet Venus now is visible at Selborne over the hanger.  Planted against the fruit-wall, three well-trained trees that are to begin to bear fruit next year: viz: 1 Peterboro’ nectarine N.E. end.  1 mantaban peach.  1 red Magdalen peach, against the scullery.  1 Elrouge Nectarine.  These trees came from Mr Shiell’s nursery at Lambeth & cost 7s. 6d. on the spot.  They have healthy wood, & well-trained heads.  Planted a Virginian creeper against the wall of my house next the garden.
