The frost has killed the tops of the wallnut shoots, & ashes; & the annuals where they touched the glass of the frames; also many kidney-beans.  The tops of hops, & potatoes were cut-off by this frost.  Tops of laurels killed.  The wall-nut trees promised for a vast crop, ’til the shoots were cut off by ye frost.
