 from which the largest and soundest bulbs can

far, nothing is gained except late, ill-ripei 

 coloured berries. Grapes intended to be ke 

 the winter should be perfectly ripe by the end of Sep- 

 tember ; grow them briskly till they are beginning to 

 ripen, and then by giving them plenty of air, accom- 

 panied with heat, they will ripen thoroughly, and hang 

 long upon the Vines without shrivelling. Peach- 

 house.— Continue to keep insects in check, using the 

 syringe freely for red spider, and tobacco smoke for

successional plants, and give occasional waterings. 

 Those plants that are ripening their crops will rt
