Culture. — This favorite fruit may be grown any 
season of the year, in a house or frame where a tem- 
perature of 75° can be obtained. Sow in pots of light 
soil, and pot off when the third leaf appears. The 
soil should be prepared and placed in the houre or 
frame several days before it is required. Planr out 
when the third rough leaf is developed, keep a moist 
warm temperature. Allow them to make sei\ral 
joints, when they should be slopped to make ci on 
branch, then pinch out the shoot where the truifc 
appears; keep them thin and trained regularly; sLipjily 
with plenty of water, which should not be colder Ibnn 
the temperature of the place; keep adding fresh .snil, 
as the roots appear above the surface, which they <lo 
freely when the plants are thriving and healthy. The 
soil should be light turf, well rooted, and leaf mold 
without sand, and should not be sifted, enriched with 
manure. The heat should be regulated by shading or 
giving air; be sure to keep the fruit cut as soon is 
large enough for use, or the plants will deterioratir . lul 
be much less productive.
