Shade the best tulips from the vehemence of the sun.  Polyanths are hurried out of bloom.  Vine-shoots are forward.  Sowed the great annual-frame with flower-seeds: sowed two hand-glasses with cucumbers, green & white.  Timothy wanders round the garden, & strives to get out: he is shut-up in the brew-house to prevent an escape.
