TREATMENT OF FRUIT TREES AFTER FORCING. 



Par. 43. — After the forcing season is over, 

 and the fruit gathered, the trees ought to be 

 exposed to the open air as much as possible, by 

 removing the whoie of the moveable lights both 

 above and below, to give them the benefit of the 

 sun, air, rains, dews, &c, during the remainder 

 of the summer and autumn, this will harden the 

 young shoots, and tend greatly to strengthen 

 the trees for the next forcing season.
