 must be cut clean away, as before directed.

This treatment of the Vine may be prac- 

 tised for a great number of years, and under 

 it will always be properly furnished with 

 wood and be in a good bearing condition.

 young wood as low down the Vine as possible. 



When through weakness it is deemed ne- 

 necessary to renovate the Vines, they must 

 be cut entirely down to one or two buds, 

 and afterwards be treated as young Vines.
