Whilst this manual discusses only the forcing of 

 kitchen-garden vegetables, the essential principles which 

 are set forth apply with almost equal directness to the 

 forcing of plants for their bloom. It should be added, 

 also, that it is the purpose of the book to treat only 

 those crops which are raised to maturity in glass houses, 

 so that the starting of plants for setting in the open, 

 and all questions of hotbeds and coldframes, are 

 omitted.
