180 VINES

ties are not here, but rather as a cut flower, forced 
for winter picking. I will therefore discuss the 
plant from that point of view in the next chapter, 
where I will include details of its management. 
There are several other vines that can be grown 
under glass, but they are very inferior to those 
listed, whereas the expense of cultivating them 
is no less than for the better kinds. I would 
therefore advise no one to grow them except as
