complete, except that the arms are too short for 

 our description. In this figure the spurs are 

 shown as carrying alternately one and two 

 canes. The end vines must have only one arm 

 each, in order to fill up the trellis, as shown in 

 the engraving. The single arms will be on the 

 upper or lower tier, according to the number of 

 vines in the row. It is better to have both the 

 single arms on the upper tier, .where it can con 

 veniently be done. The trellis for this system 

 should be six to seven feet high from the 

 ground. The first tier of arms should be from 

 twelve to fifteen inches from the ground, 

 and the second tier midway between the first 

 tier and the top of the trellis. The interme 

 diate spaces should be filled by two or three 

 rows of wire. The manner of making a trellis 

 will be described hereafter.
