good-coloured fruit is wanted. Do not shut the 
house at all, let the weather be what it may; but if 
several days together continue cold, wet, and dull, light 
a fire to raise the heat a little, but on no account close 
the house. Keep the young wood thin. 
THE PracH HousE AND WALL-SCREEN PEACHES.— 
Last month’s remarks are applicable here asarule; but 
discontinue the syringing, if the fruit is ripening. A 
sharp eye must be kept upon the red spider ; and some 
sulphur should be kept placed on several money slates, 
so that the sun can play full upon them; this will give 
off fumes sufficient to keep the spider in check (see 
last month). 
As regards all the other departments, last month’s 
directions may be referred to. 
SEPTEMBER. 
THE Earty AND Late VINERIES.—The chief thing 
now is to ripen the young wood thoroughly and to 
bring the growth to a standstill. To promote this 
withhold all stimulants, and place the sashes on the 
frames, so as to prevent the rains falling on the border. 
Admit all the air possible to the branches, so that the 
ripening of the wood can be perfected by the influence 
of the atmosphere. 
Tue PracH HousE.—Daily watering of Peaches in 
pots (but no syringing) must be done, if the fruit is 
ripening. The cordon Peaches should be regulated in 
the new wood by pinching in the laterals, but the 
young wood right and left for next year’s fruiting 
must not be pinched in, only the sub-laterals and all 
such growth as is not required for fruiting.
