Though young plants produce the finest trusses, older plants 

 that have stood out-of-doors all summer, and are hard and well 

 ripened, Tivill produce a greater quantity of bloom for cutting if 

 introduced to a high temperature in December. And as in this 

 case the plants are simply grown for cut flowers, they can be placed 

 in a warm light corner of the stove or some forcing-house, where 

 a night temperature of 60° is kept up. Years ago I have forced 

 the old Tom Thumb in this way, selecting old plants that had 

 been starved in the sunshine. Shorten them in a bit, and then 

 push them on in heat. The various forms of Vesuvius and many 

 others force well.
