Whilst this manual discusses only the forcing of 
kitchen-garden vegetables, the essential principles which 
are set forth apply with almost equal directness to the 
forcing of plants for their bloom. It should be added, 
also, that it is the purpose of the book to treat only 
those crops which are raised to maturity in glass houses, 
so that the starting of plants for setting in the open, 
and all questions of hotbeds and _ coldframes, are 
omitted.
