BRIGHT ON GRAPE CULTURE. 47

 tem, with a good exposure, they will not only make 

 ample shade, and present a pleasing object to the eye, 

 but they can be made to produce large crops of the 

 most delicious grapes every year. 



For the method of training adapted to city trellises, 

 see the section upon the common vineyard. The only

 the first season, it should be cut back to the strong wood 

 before fruiting the first time. After the vine gets 

 older, it will make strong wood to the full height of the 

 tallest trellis, in one season, provided it be well fed with 

 proper fertilizers. We think this system of training 

 for city trellises, will be much admired when once it has 

 been tried. 



VINES ON ARBORS. 



Vines on arbors, in villa and cottage lots, and small 

 gardens, may be trained upon our system with great 

 satisfaction and advantage. Plant the vines two feet 

 or less apart, and train with a single stem, as in the 

 vineyard, and fruit every other cane each year. If 

 the border be good, and well fertilized, the vines will
