'copiously water TOth manure -water, and slightly mulcli 

 if it has not heen done before. Apply a little fire- 

 i heat on damp dull days, and always at night during such 

 weather, with a little air on all night. Take every precau- 

 tion to keep wasps and flies from preying on ripe grapes. 

 Keep a constant eye to vines in all stages, and see that red- 

 spider does not get a footing. Where the fruit are aU cut, an 

 occasional syringing and a free circulation of air night and 

 day will keep the foHage clean. If any of the vines from 

 which fruit has just been cut have their roots further from 

 the surface of the border than is desirable, treat them as has 

 been directed. Pot-vines intended to fruit early next season 

 should by this time have their wood as brown and hard as 

 a cane. Expose them to full sun and a free circulation of air. 

 Should they show any disposition to make young lateral 

 growths, remove them at once, inducing them to maturity and 

 rest as soon as possible. Avoid exposing them outdoors in 

 windy positions, which destroys the foliage before it has fully 

 done its work. 



Peaches. — Look carefully over all trees from which fruit 

 has been gathered, and if there are many shoots that will 

 not be required for next season's bearing, remove them at 

 once, so that all light and air may play about the trees freely. 

 If there be any red-spider about them, syringe them with sul- 

 phured water till not one remains ; and otherwise give every 

 possible attention that is necessary to retain the foKage to 

 the last in a healthy state, so that well-developed buds and 

 matured wood be the result. Expose fruit that are ripening 

 to all light and air possible. Late crops in cool houses ia 

 their last swelling should be well supplied with water at the 

 root tin they begin to colour. 



^igs, Early trees from which the second crop is all gath- 

 ered must not be neglected. If in pots, keep them weU sup- 

 plied with water, and free from insects by frequent syringing. 

 Should they have more wood about them, than is necessary 

 for next season, remove it, and expose them to full light and 

 air. Where fruit are ripening, the atmosphere must be com-
