VIOLET FORCING. To obtain Neapolitan Violets in 

 winter, select a warm, sheltered comer ; cast out trenches 

 a foot deep and 5 feet wide into the alleys, and make a 

 turf wall all round to the desired height, for holding 

 about 15 or 1 8 inches of leaves, rubbish-heap refuse, or 

 any fermenting materials likely to afford a little bottom- 

 heat, upon which place about 8 or 9 inches of rich, open 

 soil. The width regulate by any lights to be spared for 

 a time, or thatched hurdles, or other protectors. Violets 

 are also extensively planted in ordinary cold frames, 

 with or without fermenting manure beneath them, and 

 plenty of air must be given them to keep the foliage dry 

 and prevent attacks of fungi. The plants take up from 

 the store plantation carefuUy, with balls of earth to 

 their roots, and plant from 10 to 12 inches apart each 

 way, first clearing them of any side-shoots or suckers ; 

 afterwards keep clear of dead leaves, &c., weU surface- 

 stir, and never allow to get dry. No lights or protection 

 are to be placed over them until frosty nights set in, 

 or very heavy rains ; then, at all times, tilt on both 

 sides, with abundance of air, if the weather is not too 

 severe. By such treatment the foliage is always large,
