43^ TliE FORCING GxiRDEN, [nOTc' 



Willi respect to tlie little standards planted in the 

 border, tliey will require no other pruning than he- 

 ing divested of cross and water-shoots; as, if they 

 be much pruned, it will have the effect of causing 

 them to push v» ood, a thing not at all to he desired.- 

 We rather wish thein to remain dwarfish, and to be 

 5'uitful. 



After pruning, let all the plaiits, and likewise the 

 trellises, he carefully anointed, as directed above 

 for the other cherry-house. Then dress in the 

 shoots and branches, and fork ui) the border in the 

 same manner. The house should now be exposed 

 Hight and day, only shutting up in the time of 

 much rain. 



If there be a good appearance of fruit in the 

 house,, and if the plants have generally made pretty 

 crood wood, it may be gently forced from the be- 

 ginning or middle of February next year : and the 

 following years from the first of Januaiy, in the 

 same manner as the house above treated of th.rough- 

 Qut this season. 



THE GRAPE-HOUSE» 



Of the 77ew planted Grape-Hoztse. 

 About the middle or end of the month, it will be 

 proper to prune the vines in this compartment, it 

 being presumed, that if tiiey have been aided by 

 fire-heat the two preceding months (as advised), the 

 wood will now be sufficiently ripened, and the plant- 

 be quite fit for pruning. But for full remarks or- 

 this subject, see the Grape-House for October=
