They are first soalsed in water for a day or two and then liept in this heavy heat until flower buds are well developed (Fig. 853). Tulips, hya- cinths and , otlierbulbs, azalea h a box, but it is dangerous, and not good practice; better (lowering wild pbiTits may be forced with satisfaction. Although no rules can be given for the time required in Forc- ing, it is knowledge not hard to acquire with even surprising exactness. Nothing is likely to require more than three ranging from 45° to bringing in from the pits. A month or six good February and March, but with the saiiir iilarus ami ti'ijjperatures, more time would be needeil laiii. r; wiili I he advarif-e of the season, the work is ipiirk, t ui rtain. There is great difference in plaTiis. (fhe hybrids) require eight weeks or iiion-, but one species will often bloom in March, within twenty-four hours. Plants like the rose, which must make a growth before the buds form, take more time than azaleas. The differ- ence between dull and bright weather is an important factor, but with extra firing, or the use of the Forcing- box, these matters even up, and the average time of flowering is wonderfully even. In this work, a man with good plant sense is most likely to succeed. FOBESTlfiEA (after Forestier, a French physician). Syn. AdHia. Ohdrcrr.
