My kindey-beans are much withered for want of rain: cucumbers bear: peaches begin to come: endives large, & tyed-up.  Gathered-in the Burgamot-pears; they easily part from their stems.  Hop-picking partly ended.  Myriads of flying ants, of the small pale, yellow sort, fly from their nests & fill the air.
