in preparation lor forciiif^, tin* lirst 

 essential is to iiniciire odod, st rcjujj; 

 plants. These are best obtained froiu 

 the home |iateli. .\s early in .liil.v as the 

 rniiiiers are laryc enough, l!'-_.-iii('h pots 

 should be prepared by beiiiy tilled with 

 ••I yood polling soil. These are |)liii|o('d 

 to the h'M'l of the ;;riiiiiid in the straw- 

 |ieir\- bed wherever they ran be reached 

 by ;i yood. strong runner. The youuy 

 jilanl already formed on the runner is 

 peuoeij down to the soil in the ])ot and 

 allowed to root well in the |ioI before 

 beiiij.; separated from the paicnt plant. 

 .\ll secoinlary runners t'ormiiiy on the 

 yoiiiij; plant are. in the meantime, 

 pinched otf as they aji|ie;ir. Just as soon 

 as the pots are tilled with roots the plants 

 should be shifted lip into biiicli pots 

 and a t'terw.'irds into tidiich jkiIs. this be- 

 in;; the best si/e to I'lllit tlieiii in. 



Mxcry elVorl should b.' made diiriii;;' 

 the ^rowiiiii |ierioi| to kee|i the phiuts 

 ^rowin;^ as stroiiy tiiid \iy(irous as pos- 

 sible, .-IS the stronger the plants the inoie 

 .•ertainly oi ninid results. 



Next in idiation is the tliorou;;h rip- 

 I'liinn dt' the planls, preparat.iry to b.'- 

 ^inniiiL; to t'orce. The best place for 

 Ihein .'IS winter a jiproai'hes is ;i cold 

 t'raine where the pots may be set (dose 

 toyether. Here they shdiild be allowed to 

 stainl niii-i)\ered until they have been 

 expose. I to ;it le.'ist lH de;;rees of frost; 

 but when the t'rost I'Xi-eeds this they had 



better be proti'eti'd by eovel'iny, as too 



miii-li frost wouhl ciai'k the |iots. I''ree/.- 

 illy and th.'iwiii;; should also be jirovided 

 ai;ainsl as mm-li as possible, though liyht 



shiiuld lint be excluded nr loss ot' foliaoe 



Would result. Towards the end of i)e- 

 leinber or beyinnine of .laniiary we usu- 

 .illy lind the plants sutli<ieiit ly ripened 

 to be letid.v to force. Started at that 

 time, the hardest part ot' the season has 

 tn be eticolllllereil. The later tlieV are 

 left the easier the foicine ojieratioii 

 becnmes, but till' senson llllist be regu- 

 lated ac.-nrdiny tn the time the frnil is 

 wanted. In private establishments, where 

 a coiitinudiis supply is needed, the |ilants 

 are briMiehi in in batelies, the first beinn
