NAMES OF THE VARIOUS PARTS OF WHICH THE 

 VINE IS COMPOSED. 



I DEEM a knowledge of these various parts, and 

 their names, of mucli consequence to a correct under- 

 standing of the whole subject, and hence will at once 

 describe and name them. 



England has no vineyards, and therefore the techni- 

 cal names I shall give are, in general, mere trans- 

 lations of similar words, which in German have an 

 accepted meaning with reference to Grapevines. I 

 give, also, the German in every case, as this may facili- 

 tate the intercourse between Americans who plant 

 vineyards and the German vineyard men. 



The cut, Fig. 1, represents the various parts of a full 

 grown grape vine, which are severally numbered 

 The reader should familiarize himself with them by 

 frequent reference.
