144 THE FORCING GARDEN. 



six to twelve months before they can be put into heat. 

 The Honeysuckles, Magnolias, Daphnes, &c., must be 

 grown in pots for the purpose. 



After the shrubby classes of plants have done 

 flowering, the hardy ones should be put into a cooler 

 house to ripen the new wood for a few weeks, and then 

 plunged out of doors for the summer ; but such as the 

 Indian Azaleas, &c., should be continued in a cool 

 house at least till they have made the terminal bud, 

 when they may be set out of doors for a few weeks, to 

 keep them back. All those bulbs that have done 

 flowering should be set under a north wall, and kept 

 moderately moist till they have matured their new 

 parts. With care, most of the herbaceous and bul- 

 bous plants will last many years for forcing if care- 

 fully looked after when they are once forced.
