for, vegetation, in forcing, ought always 

 to be brought on, as it were, by ftealth : 

 the juices flow more kindly ; and the plant 

 fuffers the firft impulfe of reviving adivity 

 with more patience, than when hurried on 

 in a violent manner. But, after the buds 

 begin to appear turgid,, a more moderate 

 quantity may be admitted j ftill having 

 refped to the temperature of the houfe, 

 and the prevention of frofty winds from 

 hurting the bloom. At all events, take 

 advantage of fun-fhine ; which will allow 

 a larger portion to be given, than at other 

 times. Neverthelefs, let no day pafs, (un- 

 lefs in a fevere froft), wherein lefs or more 

 air is not admitted ; and, in fun-fhine, to 

 the extent that the thermometer may not 

 rife more than 10 degrees above the fire- 

 heat medium. 



After the crop is all gathered, if con- 

 fiftent with the welfare of the other arti- 

 cles contained in the houfe, let the glafles 

 be removed, and the trees be expofed to 

 the weather till the next feafon.
