ON VINE S. 26$ 



IN the cold winter months, when the 

 forcing is begun, the fires fhould be made 

 very moderately at firft, and have a good 

 deal of air in the day, and a little at night, 

 for fome time ; for vmlefs the buds pufli 

 jftrong ac firft there are little hopes of a 

 good crop. 



A WEEK after the fires are made, it will 

 be proper to give a little water to that part 

 .of the border which is within the houfe 

 once a week, and it fhould be kept juft 

 moift at all times when the glafles are on 

 the houfe, although there is no fire ; other- 

 wife the roots will decay. 



AFTER the fruit is out of bloflbm, and 

 about the largenefs of a final! pin's head, 

 it will add greatly to the fize of the fruit to 

 fpnnkle all the floor over in the evening 

 in fine weather, and fhut up the houfe 

 directly, which will caufe a fine moifture 

 like a dew ; but care mufl be taken to give 

 air early in the morning to dry both fruit 

 and leaves before the fun begins to mine 

 hotupon them, or it will burn the leaves 

 and fcorch the fruit. 6
