DEC.] GRAPES, &C. 447 



THE GRAPE-HOUSE. 



If it be also intended to force this compartment 

 from the beginning of the year, observe the rules 

 laid down, respecting its previous preparation for 

 such forcing, in January. They should be followed 

 at this time without any variation ; and it will be 

 proper to shut up the house, at night, from about 

 the middle of the month, in order to prepare for 

 lighting the fires by New- Year's day. 



THE PEACH-HOUSE. 



This compartment is mentioned, merely to re- 

 mind the reader to observe what is said above, if it 

 be intended for forcing next month. See directions 

 for its preparation, also in January. 



THE PINERY. 



What was stated last month, respecting the diffe- 

 rent compartments of the pinery, will suffice for 

 this ; whether as to the temperature, airing, or 

 watering of any of them ; as little deviation as pos- 

 sible, from the directions there given, being advis- 

 able. 



Be particular not to cover up before sunset, and 

 always to uncover by sunrise at the latest, that the 

 plants may enjoy all the sun and light possible at 

 this dull season ; else they will lose colour, and be- 

 come languid.
