A very small vine is represented in Plate Ko. 14, drawn to the same scale as those 

 represented in Nos. 7 and 19, and rates as No. 4 or 5, having a cane from one to two 

 feet long or a little less. The same is represented after root-pruning in Plate No. 15, 

 having the roots cut back and about six or seven inches in length. 



For such plants a much smaller excavation is to be made, and the covering of the 

 roots, measuring from the top of the cone, must not be more than an inch and a half 

 or two inches in depth, which will leave their ends covered four or five inches deep, so

In Plate No. 13, A represents the cone with the roots spread upon it ; B, the depth 

 of covering; K, the temporary surface; D, the place for cutting, and F, the surface 

 or level of tL.o border. Such plants will never die under proper treatment ; but proper 

 treatment fo^" these is very different from th.at which stronger plants require
