It is thus robbed of part of its former vigour, whilst it seldom fails to throw out immediately behind the part most bent one or more vigorous shoots. To assist the young practitioner...

The plant, under these circumstances, grew with great health and luxuriance, and afforded a most abundant blossom ; but all its flowers were male. " This result," he says, " did not, in any degree, surprise me ; for I had many years previously succeeded, by long-continued very low temperature, in making Cucumber plants produce female flowers...
