 branches, fruit, and fuch great quantities 

 of leaves as there are on a well-managed 

 Vine- wall. 



WHERE this is not obferved, the wood 

 is very fmall, the clutters little, and the 

 Jkin of the fruit very tough, and of a very 

 bad flavour ; but where they are properly 

 fupplied with rotten dung that has been 

 prepared atleatt a twelvemonth, they will 

 continue many years in the greateft vigour. 

 By this management I forced one wall 

 twenty years, and had always good crops 

 of well-flavoured fruit, large clutters, and 

 the Vines in good order. 



BY the common method of planting 

 Vines at a great dittance, and training the 

 fide-branches until they meet, in a few 

 years the bottom of the wall becomes bare, 

 without a poflibility of preventing it ; but 

 by planting at two feet diflance there is a 

 command of bottom- wood (if managed as 

 directed) for many years.
