placed in a sheltered position and well protected, 

 i.e. in the same manner as that recommended for 

 trees in a house. 



Apricots, peaches, nectarines, and cherries 

 should always be placed in the house after they 

 are potted, and never allowed to remain out-of- 

 doors during the late autumn or winter. 



Let no water be gi\xn to any trees during 

 this month, and let no artificial heat be apphed, 

 as this would advance the growth of the trees. 



Whenever the weather is mild, and not frosty, 

 let the house be freely ventilated.
