ON VINES: 205 



with a good ball, and planted immedi- 

 ately, it will anfwer very well ; but this 

 is only moving from one part of the gar- 

 den to another a few plants ; and if the 

 vine be very old, it is difficult to be done 

 with fuccefs. 



THE common method of planting vines 

 (or cutting of vines, for there have been 

 fome walls planted with cuttings) is to 

 plant them at feven- or eight feet diftance, 

 and fo train the fide-branches to fill the 

 wall ; but there is a better way to have 

 finer grapes, and to have them bear fooner. 



PREPARE fome good hot dung as for a 

 melon bed ; make it up in the fame form, 

 but two feet wider than the frame that 

 is to cover it ; two feet high will be fuffi- 

 cient, but it mould be well trodden to pre- 

 vent the heat being too ftrong at firft. Stake 

 it all round the fides with flakes two feet 

 long, and wind them with flraw ropes 



very cloie to the top.
