32 THE FORCING GARDENER. [B. I* 



In order to pafs off any noxious vapour 

 that may have arifen. Let the frame be 

 matted every night at fun-fet, and unco- 

 vered by eight in the morning, or fooner, 

 if the ftate of the weather will permit ; 

 and, from the moment the plants begin 

 to appear, as due attention ought to be 

 paid to this article as that of air and wa- 

 ter. Every gardener has to lament, that, 

 in this country, and at this feafon of the 

 year, our days are not only fhort, but dull 

 and hazy, to a degree that is but little 

 known on the Continent ; and it follows, 

 that the leaft negled: in admitting the rays 

 of light, which is fo neceflary to the health 

 and vigour of the plants, is, ftridly fpeak- 

 ing, unpardonable. Even the glafTes (hould 

 be frequently wafhed, wiped, and at all 

 times kept clean of duft or litter, that the 

 rays of light, or the fun-beams, may not be 

 obftruded. 



A little kindly fleam in the morning is 

 a good fymptom; but this Ihould never be 

 encouraged to any great extent : more than 

 what entirely difappears with the firft hour 

 after the frame has been uncovered, is not 



defirable.
