Grape, concluded. 



new growth, and that the junction between stock and 

 cion is perfect. Another advantage is especially in Cali- 

 fornia, where we plow and cultivate close to the vines, 

 and where some of the workmen are careless they are 

 more apt to run over and disturb the small grafts than 

 the large ones, which are protected by hills of earth above 

 the surface ; nor are the young shoots disturbed and 

 broken so easily by careless hands or high winds. A 

 stake should be driven close to the graft immediately 

 after grafting is finished, and the young shoots, when they 

 appear, tied to it for support, as they generally start vig- 

 orously and are easily broken off, or blown off by high 

 winds. Do not be discouraged if some time elapses be- 

 fore they start. I have often had them remain dormant 

 until July or August, and then make a rapid growth. If 

 suckers from the stock appear as is generally the case 

 they should be removed at once, taking care to cut them 

 close to the stock, so as to have no stumps or dormant 

 buds. Tying and suckering should be repeated every 

 week or ten days at least. As long as the cion remains 

 fresh and green it may begin growing at any time. Of 

 course, care must be taken not to disturb the cion. If 

 everything does well, there will be three or four canes 

 from the upper buds, which may be pruned just as any 

 other bearing vines."
