CULTURE OF GRAPE VINES UNDER GLASS. 321 



up and tied to the wires, and started as before described. 

 In cases where it is not practicable to cover with sand or 

 soil, the vines can be laid down snugly along the front 

 wall and covered up with mats or bagging; but in either 

 manner of covering up the grapery must be freely venti- 

 lated during the warm part of the day, unless in ex- 

 tremely cold weather. 



VARIETIES. 



The varieties that I consider to be best suited for a 

 cold vinery of fifty feet in length, requiring twenty-one 

 permanent vines, would be: twelve Black Hamburgs, two 

 White Frontignac, two Forster's White Seedling, two 

 Purple Constantia, two Muscat Hamburg, one Koyal 

 Ascot. 



FOR VINES FOR FORCING. Ten Black Hamburg, two 

 Grizzly Frontignac, two Victoria Hamburg, two Golden 

 Hamburg, one Btickland Sweetwater, two Muscat of 

 Alexandria, two Cannon Hall Muscat; the last two at 

 hottest end. 



I regret the necessity of being compelled to compress 

 these notes into so limited a space, being well aware that 

 many of the points alluded to should have been more 

 fully treated. But I trust what has been said may be of 

 some benefit in guiding beginriers who are entirely with- 

 out any knowledge of grape culture under glass. To the 

 experienced grape-grower it contains few facts but those 

 he already knows, and is, no doubt, wanting in many that 

 he is familiar with.
