FORCING-HOUSES.

Cherries.--Give more air, and keep a drier atmosphere when the fruit is

ripening. Give plenty of water to the trees swelling their fruit. Keep

them free from insects, or the fruit will be of little value.

Figs.--Air freely, to give flavour to the fruit now ripening. Avoid

wetting the fruit when it begins to soften.

Melons.--Keep up the heat of the beds by renewing or turning the

linings. Slightly shade the plants when the sun is powerful, to keep the

foliage in a healthy state, without which good fruit cannot be produced.

When the frames are at liberty, Melons may be grown in them with a

little assistance from dung heat at bottom.

Peaches.--Give a liberal supply of air, with less water, to trees, the

fruit of which are ripening.

Pines.--Continue the previous instructions in the management of the

plants in the different stages of growth.

Vines.--Thin and stop the shoots, and thin the berries in good time.

Attend to the late crops, and set, by hand, the blossoms of _Muscats_,

_West's St. Peter's_, and other shy setters. Be sure that inside borders

are properly supplied with water, giving sufficient quantities to

thoroughly moisten the whole mass of soil.
