and glory out of the work. However, if a pot vine is properly handled, in a 

 twelve-inch pot, it should yield eight to ten pounds of Grapes, especially with 

 systematic feeding with both top dressing and liquid manure. For the top 

 dressing Thomson's vine manure is ideal. Use eight or ten parts of soil to one 

 part of Thomson's manure, and apply about a good handful to a pot whenever 

 it seems necessary. The most successful time to feed is after the Grapes are 

 thinned, and again as they commence to swell away after stoning. Of course 

 they will need light feeding between these periods, but do not feed them while 

 they are coloring. 



It is not often necessary to repot; in fact, they will do better if they can be 

 carried through successfully with the aid of feeding and top dressing only. But 

 sometimes there may be a pot which does not look happy, through some unfore- 

 seen cause, and it then may be necessary to repot it. The best time to do this 

 is just as the fruit is set, for at this stage the vines appear to make roots rapidly, 

 and this gives them a better chance to recuperate quickly.
