BRIGHT ON GRAPE CULTURE. 17 



It is an art which ladies may learn and exercise under 

 circumstances well suited to their tastes, and may even 

 be made a source of profit, as well as pleasure, by many 

 ladies who would not choose to engage in any common 

 gainful occupation. To the man of wealth, who has 

 extensive hot-houses, it will add to his vines a con- 

 venient method of early forcing, and an elegant novelty 

 for the parlor or the supper-party; and to the person of 

 more limited means, it affords an opportunity to enjoy 

 the pleasure of growing the richest grapes, at small ex- 

 pense, in the highest perfection.
