FIXING THE WIRE TRELLIS. 33 



consequently shaded and Vines never do well in shade. For more 

 northern or colder localities, a more acute or steeper angle of roof is 

 recommended. 



The trellis provided for the training of the Vines should be of 

 galvanised wire, and fixed not less than eighteen inches from the 

 glass, if the height of the house will permit. We prefer straining the 

 wires longitudinally from one end to the other, at about ten inches 

 apart, long eyes being fixed in the rafters to suspend them. For 

 Vines against the walls, the wires should be placed at a distance 

 from the wall of about six inches. 



The ground-plan (fig. 11) shows the Vines planted at four feet apart 

 on each side, and indicates the position of the pipes, trellis, paths, 

 etc., in a span -roofed Vinery.
