A Method of Forcing Peaches and Nectarines, fyc. 219 



House ; I find this of great advantage, and productive of no 

 ill effects until the leaf bud begins to expand, and if the steam 

 is not then perfectly sweet and moderate, the places left to 

 admit it must be secured. You will of course observe, that 

 while this hot dung lining is forcing the Peaches and Nec- 

 tarines, it is assisting to work the Pines in the Pine pit at the 

 same time, and without any additional expense, there being 

 also a lining at the front of the Pine pit, as well as this one 

 at the back ; and when it has become cooled by frequent 

 turnings, I either make cucumber beds of it, or take it inside 

 the Peach-house or Vinery. For these five years past I have 

 never failed in producing an abundant crop of Peaches and 

 Nectarines by the above method. 



I am, Sir, 

 your obedient humble Servant, 



John Breese.
