. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. 1762 SYRINGA check the plants receive from lifting will induce them to form new flower-buils. These plants will force with the greatest certainty. It is well to allow five weeks for the earliest forcing. A strong heat is necessary, he- ginning at 60° for the first few days and increasing to 75° or 80°, with a daily watering and syringing several times. After the flowers begin to open the syringing can be discontinued and when fully expedient the plants are better removed to a cool house, where they will harden off and be much more serviceable when cut. As the season advances, say March and April, less heat is needed. They will then force in any ordinary house where the night temperature is about 60° F. The Per- sian Lilac on account of its abundance of bloom and delicate truss is very desirable, but this must be forced almost in the dark to produce white flowers. Marie Le Graye is for all purposes the most useful Lilac which the undersigned has used for forcing. Wm. Scott. alba, 4. 6, 7, 8. Amurensis, 10. argentea, 11. aureo-variegata. 2. RretschneieUH, 2.
