The temperature is to be continued for Hamburghs, 

 and all kinds except Muscats, (which require 5° to 10° 

 higher temperature,) at 65° to 70°, nights, and from 

 75° to 85°, days, admitting air freely. Watch for red 

 spider closely, and if found, syringe heavily with clear, 

 soft, tepid water; wash bricks with lime and sulphur, 

 and place them on the hottest part of the pipes or flue. 



Water freely with clear liquid manure, two or three 

 times a week, (made with rain water only,) as warm, or 

 warmer than the temperature of the house, using simple 

 rain water also, as required. 



Keep the top of the house slightly open night and 

 day, for ventilation : and air very freely after the first 

 symptoms of coloring, in favorable weather. 



Grapes so grown in pots will ripen, about the middle 

 of April, on a vine two feet six inches high, with ordi- 

 nary culture, seven bunches, and with first-rate culture, 

 eight to ten bunches. 



When the fruit is quite ripe, the pots may be remov- 

 ed to any dry, warm room, set on a table in the dwell- 

 ing, and the fruit will keep for two months on the vines.
