Halaman 292 - You must know, Sir, that I look upon the pleasure which we take in a garden, as one of the most innocent delights in human life. A garden was the habitation of our first parents before the fall. It is naturally apt to fill the mind with calmness and tranquillity, and to lay all its turbulent passions at rest.

Halaman 491 - ... it is only within the last three or four years that the practice of planting cherry trees has been adopted.

Halaman 505 - Secondly, the method is, undoubtedly, practicable on the large scale, and at an expense not exceeding ten shillings per load, with the advantage of setting free, at least half the capital required by the common method ; the advantage of rendering the living tree available either for defence, convenience, or common use, in a few weeks after being felled, and in a state in which it may be trusted with safety ; while, by the usual method, five years is not more than is necessary to be equally free of...
Halaman 455 - ... morning till noon; then, on a flat cast-iron pan, over a charcoal stove, ten or twelve ounces of the leaves are thrown at a time, stirred quickly with a short hand-broom twice or thrice, and then brushed off again into the baskets, in which they are equally and Carefully rubbed between men's hands to roll them; after which, they are again put into the pan in larger quantities, over a slower • fire, to be dried a second time. When fired enough, the tea is laid on tables, to be drawn, or picked...
Halaman 306 - The aqueous vapour which exhales from the breathing of the old fowls whilst hatching, in some degree prevents this ill effect; but nevertheless, in dry seasons, this vapour is hardly sufficient; and thus, in order that the eggs may be better hatched in the dry seasons, the hens cover them with the earth of the floor of the granary.
