Art. X. On forcing Cherries. By W. Lawrence, Gardener to 

 the Rev. Theophilus Williams, Hendon Rectory. 



No kind of fruit can be forced at less expense, and in a 

 shorter time, than the cherry; and yet, if we look round the 

 forcing gardens of our nobility and gentry, we shall find cherry^ 

 houses of rare occurrence. There does not even seem to be a 

 public demand for forced cherries ; for the late Mr. Andrews of 

 Vauxhall, after forcing cherries for several years, at last gave 

 up the practice, and turned his cherry houses into vineries.
