Cherries.--Give air night and day in fine weather.
Figs.--When the ripest of the fruit is gathered, give the trees a good
syringing overhead, to cleanse and refresh the leaves, and to keep down
insects.
Melons.--To be slightly shaded with a net, or a few pea-sticks, during
bright sunshine in the middle of the day, to prevent the scorching of
the leaves; for if such occurs, the fruit ripens prematurely, and is, in
consequence, without flavour.
Peaches.--When the fruit is ripening, give as much air as possible
during the day, and when the nights are mild and warm leave the lights
open. When the fruit in the succession-house is stoned, give a good
watering to the roots, and syringe the trees frequently, as previously
advised.
Pines.--Apply an abundance of moisture to the pathways of the
fruiting-house during bright weather. Give plenty of air, but allow at
the same time the thermometer to range from 90 deg. to 95 deg.. Shut up
when the rays of the sun are getting partially off the house, and ply
the syringe freely about the leaves and stems of the plants, and
the surface of the plunging material. Air to be given an hour or two
afterwards for the night.
Vines.--Keep thinning the berries and stopping the laterals as they
advance, which, with syringing and giving air, is the principal work to
be done.
