CULTUEE OF GBAPE VINES UNDER GLASS. 



It is many years since I have had personal experience in 

 the growing of grapes under glass, and this was so lim- 

 ited that I feel incompetent to do justice to the subject, 

 even in the short treatise that my restricted space here 

 will permit. For this reason I have called in the assist- 

 ance of my life-long friend, Mr. Hugh Wilson, of Salem, 

 Mass., whose knowledge of the subject is, perhaps, equal 

 to that of any one in this country ; but, unfortunately, the 

 limited space at my command gives Mr. Wilson but a mea- 

 gre chance for giving us the full benefit of his experience. 



THE LOCATION OF THE VINERY. 



As with all glass structures, the vinery should, when-

 and west, and if the ground is gently sloping towards the 

 south-east so much the better.
