ON VINERIES. 



remove all filth and insects which may remain; cover 

 outside borders from cold, wet weather, and study nature 

 as closely as possible. 



2d Week — The shoots in the early vinery will be get- 

 ting forward, especially the vines in pots, where they 

 have been started according to directions given in this 

 book. Notice previous directions about the keeping of 

 late grapes. Be sure and keep a cool and dry atmo- 

 sphere, and cut out all dry berries, and take off all leaves 

 which have turned entirely yellow. 



3d Week. — If the vines in the earliest house are in 

 full leaf, the temperature should be increased to 55° or 

 60° at night, and 65° or 72° on dull days, with a little 

 air. Sunny days, 80° to 83°. Notice what has been 

 advised in other parts of this treatise. 



tth Week.- — Great care and attention must be exer- 

 cised in giving air during frosty weather, as this will 

 injure the young and tender foliage. Keep up a moist 

 atmosphere ; but as the leaves mature, discontinue syring- 

 ing. Succession vineries will want the usual damping, 

 \ with a temperature according to their stages of growth. 

 Look over late grapes, and remove all decayed berries 

 and yellow leaves.
