FoECiNO. — Pines swelling their fruit must have liberal encou- 

 ragement ; the temperature should range from 80*^ to 90°, with a 

 bottom-heat of 85*^. Heduce the temperature, and ventilate some- 

 what liberally, even if extra fire-heat becomes necessary. Give all 

 the air possible to Vines from which the crop has been gathered, 

 and keep the atmosphere dry in houses in which the grapes are 

 hanging. Those just colouring also require plenty of air, even if 

 artificial warmth is required to maintain the proper temperature. 

 Young Cucumber plants must be raised at once, where a supply is 

 required throughout the winter. IMelons ripening require extra 

 warmth to finish them oflp quickly, and prevent them being insipid 

 and flavourless.
