Vegetable Forcing. 



Toledo, O. — Searles Bros, are build- 

 ing five houses, each 750 feet long. They 

 grow vegetables and will install the 

 Skinner system for watering. 



Horseradish will grow almost any- 

 where, but the best and most tender 

 roots are produced in a rich, deep and 

 rather moist soil. It is propagated by 

 planting pieces of the roots, any portion 

 of which will grow, no matter if buried 

 deeply in the earth. 



JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE. 



The Jerusalem artichoke is a hardy, 

 tuberous rooted perennial, a native of 

 Brazil. It must not be supposed that 

 this plant is an artichoke; it is only 

 so called because it resembles that vege- 

 table in flower and not because it be- 

 longs to the same family. Neither is 

 it a native of Jerusalem, that word in 

 this instance being merely a corruption 

 of the Italian name girasole. In Eng- 

 land the tubers of the Jerusalem arti- 

 choke are made use of in much larger 

 quantities than in this country, and they 

 are much liked by some people when 

 cooked in various ways. The tubers are 

 baked, roasted and boiled and are served 

 with milk or butter. Their flavor, when 

 properly cooked, is quite agreeable, and 

 as a food they are far from being un- 

 palatable. The Jerusalem artichoke thrives 

 in almost any kind of soil and situa- 

 tion. It is propagated by planting small 

 entire tubers or pieces of larger ones, 

 just like the potato. The sets may be 

 planted any time from the beginning of 

 February to the end of March, in shal- 

 low trenches, or may be dibbled into 

 holes one foot apart and the rows three 

 feet asunder. E, R. 



GRAPES UNDER GLASS. 



Kindly tell me what is the best treat- 

 ment for forcing the Muscat of Alexan- 

 dria grape. What are the best fertilizers 

 for it? H.Y.B.E. 



To fully answer this query would ne- 

 cessitate a minute description of grape 

 culture from start to finish. This would 

 easily fill all the pages of a few editions 

 of the Review. Only a few of the more 

 important points, therefore, can be 

 treated here. 



Assuming that the vines are already 

 established plants, planted in a suitable 

 house, with suitable borders, the first 

 thing of importance is to have the house 

 and vines thoroughly cleaned before 

 starting. This is dond by either washing 

 or painting the woodwork of the house, 

 removing the loose bark from the vines 

 and washing them with a solution of 

 Gishurst's compound or other good in- 

 secticide. About two inches of the sur- 

 face soil should be removed all over the 

 house; then a good coat of manure or 

 bone meal should be given and lightly 

 forked in. After a good watering, this 

 should be covered with about two inches 

 of fresh soil. It is a good plan to alter- 

 nate the fertilizers, giving well rotted 

 cow manure one year and bone meal the 

 next. 



The temperature to start should be 40 

 to 45 degrees at night, with a rise of 

 from 10 to 15 degrees by day, increasing 

 at the rate of about 5 degrees a week
