Wheat-stubbles plow-up in fine order; green wheat comes up well.  Tortoise goes under ground: over him is thrown a coat of moss.  The border being very light & mellow, the tortoise has thrown the mould entirely over his shell, leaving only a small breatheing hole near his head.  Timothy lies in the border under the fruit-wall, in an aspect where he will enjoy the warmth of the sun, & where no wet can annoy him: a hen-coop over his back protects him from dogs, &c.
