left will send forth spurs, each of which should 
be pinched back so as to produce not more than 
two or three bunches. 
The different systems of training grapes are 
associated with the kinds of trellis used. Perhaps 
the simplest trellis, although involving a little 
extra work, consists of two posts or stakes from 
four to seven feet high, driven firmly in the ground 
on opposite sides of each vine. Let two shoots 
develop and tie one of them to each post after 
they have grown to a convenient height. The 
next season, while these are producing fruit spurs 
and bearing fruit, let two other stems develop 
in the same way and tie them, each to a post. 
These will bear the following year, while the 
former pair of canes will be developing new spurs 
to replace those that bore and were then removed. 
By keeping these four canes a definite length, 
and tied to the posts, you will get a continual 
supply of grapes by the alternate bearing of each 
pair. 
The preceding method is chiefly adapted to 
the home garden where there are but two or three 
vines. Another system of training, found only 
in the home garden and becoming rare even there, 
is the training of grapes over arbours or lattice- 
work frames about door-ways. This system is
