Is Graf ling attended with Advantage? 



£ xfty years ago they used to graft the vines on the moun- 

 tains, and they generally obtained very fine vines with large 

 fruit. This plan has now been abandoned, because it has 

 been discovered that a grafted vine dues not last so long as 

 an ungrafted one, and the grafted vine is always more ten- 

 der and delicate 5 besides^ it produces a poorer kind of wine.
