GIRDLING THE GRAPE VINE. 



The practice of girdling the grape vine to hasten the time of 

 ripening of late varieties, has attracted much attention during the 

 past year or two, and has led to the statement by some prominent 

 grape growers, that the increased size of the fruit was nt the expense 

 of quality.
