The Garden Under Glass

320 THE GARDEN UNDER GLASS a good set has been obtained some thinning of the fruit will be necessary. Remember that it is decidedly bad management to overcrop vines or peaches. Besides crippling the trees, good fruit well finished cannot be obtained in this way. As strawberries have their fruit removed they may be planted in the garden, where they will probably afford runners this year and fruit the next. Vegetables.—Besides keeping up a supply of French beans and mustard and cress, there will be little to do with vegetables in the greenhouse. Marrows may be hardened off and planted out. A further supply of dwarf beans and runners may be sown in pots and set in frames. I consider this method far more satisfactory than sowing outside, and it entails little less labour while more room is available now under glass than there was a month back. Parsley sown in boxes should be planted out, also Globe beet. This should be carefully done. Celery should be kept well hardened so that sturdy stuff will be available for planting out later. Plant cucumbers in frames if not already done. Syringe them twice a day and pinch the growths as the fruits form. Flowers.—Move Primula sinensis and stellata to 3-inch pots as soon as they have made sufficient advance in the boxes in which they were pricked off. Sow calceolarias to flower next May. They may be grown in a frame beneath the shade of a north wall. They need special attention during their early stages. Cinerarias will now be getting past their best and may be replaced in the con-servatory by pelargoniums, which are now flowering well, and can be depended on to do so till July. Sow another batch of cinerarias and primulas. The tal! Chimney campanulas which were sown early in the year may now be removed from 3-inch to 6-inch pots. They flower the year following that in which they were sown. Those which
