PEACH AND NECTARINE 91 



During hot weather in summer, when the trees are in full 

 leaf, the border may need watering every ten days. 



Peaches and Nectarines are grown successfully under glass 

 without artificial warmth. The amateur should endeavour to 

 maintain an uniform temperature. In spring, when growth 

 starts it should be from 40 to 45 at night; as the season 

 advances it will naturally increase. In mild or warm weather, 

 admit a little air early in the morning and increase the amount 

 later on. Late in the afternoon, about half an hour before the 

 sun ceases to shine on the roof, close the ventilators and syringe 

 freely. Keep the atmosphere moist except when the trees are 

 in bloom and when the fruits are ripening.
