It divides under the upper windo-w, and has its bearing canes (coursons) also repre- 

 sented. All of the vines have their bearing canes (coursons) on their horizontal por- 

 tions; to avoid confusion, they are not shown in the engravings, except as mentioned. 



Plate 49, D. C, has its vines planted in three rows, the first at the foot of the 

 principal building, the second at the foot of the arbor, and the third as represented by 

 the dotted lines. These may be more readily followed to their distribution. One vine 

 only of these has the courses represented, and the wires also, both being understood 

 throughout. Those on the end of the house are carried above the veranda, to avoid 

 darkening the windows, and those on the roof of the veranda have their courses 

 trained perpendicularly ; the iron supports of the trellises being seen at each end. 



Plate Xo. 51, D. C, needs no particular description. 



Plate No. 52, D. C, shows the method of planting for covering the side and roof 

 of the stable shown by Plate No. 63. In this, the comfort gained by the shade is worth 

 the cost. The eaves project more than two feet, and the trellis is made outside of the 

 eaves, and on the roof it is raised at least eighteen inches above the shingles. 



Plate No. 61. 



Plate No. 61 represents a house with vines on its south-easterly side, as they appear 

 in June. The stocks are brought together and concealed by the ornamental arrange- 

 ment shown in the engraving. The trellis is placed two feet from the house, and a 

 little gallery runs along back of the vines at about two feet above the top of the first- 

 story windows. The wires used to sustain the courses are not represented. 



On the south-west, which is the garden front, an iron trellis is shown, for covering 

 this side also with vines. It is equally adapted for a street front, but in that case 

 fruit should not be taken below the top of the first-story windows. 



Plate 62 represents a house with its garden-front covered with vines on a wooden 

 trellis, but wires are used in addition, as in Plate No. 49, D. C. Four of the vines 

 were grown as represented at A, A, A, A, two seasons before being led to the house. 

 After the vines become established in bearing, the whole surfiice of the border may be 

 made a parterre by flowers in pots, placed as shown by a few specimens. Bearing 

 canes like those at >i are supposed throughout. 



Plate No. 63 represents a stable with south side and roof covered. The manner 

 of planting the vines is more clearly seen in Plate No. 52, D. C.
