be prevented by removing the pots, which have full ripe 

 fruit, into a cool and shaded room. 



It is essential, in order to secure a good flavour to the 

 fruit of forced Strawberries, that they have as little water as 

 possible, when they are nearly ripe. 



After the fruit has been gathered from the plants, the pots 

 should be plunged into a shady border, giving them a good 

 watering, and at the same time cutting off all their leaves : 

 when thus treated, they will, in the year following, produce 

 as good crops in forcing, as fresh potted plants ; if not 

 wanted for this purpose, they may be turned out into the 

 natural ground, and will then bear a crop in the autumn of 

 the same year, as described by Mr. Williams, at page 93 

 of this volume.
