to the glass as possible. The Chinese Dwarf and Fulmer 

 are good sorts for forcing. 



Figs. — A temperature of abont 40° will suit them at 

 present ; if allowed to get lower they are very apt to 

 suffer. Trees in pots to be removed to any house where 

 that degree of temperature is kept up. 



Peaches. — Where the roots are inside, and have been 

 kept dry, an application of weak, clear liquid manure, 

 at the temperature of summer heat (76°), will act as a 

 stimulant to the roots, whose services are required before 

 much excitement takes place at top. 



Pines.— Now, at the dullest season of the year, it is 

 necessary to be very cautious in regulating the bottom 

 and surface temperatures, more especially in the succes- 

 sion-houses or pits : a bottom heat of about 70°, with a 

 steady top temperature of about 60° during the day, and 

 about 55° during the night, will keep the plants in a 

 comparatively comfortable state of rest, neither allowing 

 the temperature to decline so low as to reduce their 

 vitality to such a degree as to endanger their restoration 

 to vigour in proper season, nor to rise so high as to excite 

 them into a growth that would be immature for want of 

 solar light and heat. A moderate application of water 

 will also be necessary. 



"Vines. — When the Grapes are all cut, prune the Vines 

 without loss of time, that the wounds may have sufficient 

 time to get perfectly healed before they are excited into 

 growth. If delayed until early spring, bleeding will be 

 sure to follow. Vines in pots intended for forcing should 

 either be placed within the protection of the house appro- 

 priated to them, or secured from the effects of severe 

 weather. 



FOUETH WEEK, 



geeenhouse and conservatory. 

 , The great object should now be to keep them mo- 

 derately dry ; water, when necessary, to be given in the 

 forenoon. Gentle fires to be applied in the daytime, 

 with a sufficiency of air to allow the vapour to pass off.
