ON VINES. 267 



IT will be of great fervice to fprinkle 

 the floor often to encourage the young 

 :fhootsj they frjould alfo have a great deal 

 of water on the border, both on the out- 

 iide and infide of the houfe, as it is not the 

 fruit which is to be regarded this feafo:i, 

 but the ftrengthe'ning of the Vines for 

 another year. 



IT will be a great difappointment to a 

 gentleman to have few or no grnpes for a 

 whole year, who had great plenty the 

 feafon before ; and as every gardener that 

 has the leaft knowledge of plants mufr. fee 

 when they are drawn weak, as foon as that 

 is vifible he mould give more air and lefs 

 heat, tut this muft be cautioufly per- 

 formed ; for if, from a great heat and lit- 

 tle air, the fyftem was to be changed to the 

 other extreme, it would check the growth 

 of the plants, and not only fpoil the next 

 year's wood, but the fruit of this year alfo. 



THERE are few gentlemen that will be 

 at the expence of having two fuch houfes, 

 If the vines are forced early one year 

 with care, and the next year not until the 



beginning
