should be covered up outside for a few weeks before being 

 brought into the greenhouse or house to force. Those 

 we flower are put in about the middle of November, 

 packed closely together in light, rich soil, in boxes, three 

 inches deep. These are covered up outside with hay, 

 until the first of January; they are then brought into a 

 greenhouse facing north, where there is no dirrcl 

 light at that season. The temperature is kept about 70 ° 

 with a moist atmosphere and by the first of February 

 they are in full flower. Large Pips, (Ready in November.) 

 These should not be confounded with the '! single eyes " 

 usually sold. They are larger stronger, and in every way 

 more certain to flower. Price, 50c. per dozen ; S3 00 per
