He told me, he did not doubt, that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the governorās gardens with sunshine, at a reasonable rate: but he complained that his stock was low, and entreated me "to give him something as an encouragement to ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear season for cucumbers."
