one on the upper fide, as that at B, from 

 which a branch may be expeded that will 

 be fit for a horizontal the next year. But 

 the others would not only deprive thofe at A 

 and B of part of the juices collefted by ths 

 roots, but alfo fhade them from the bene- 

 fit of the fun 5 and if the buds had been 

 left on the under fide, there would not have 

 been room to have nailed up the branches 

 w^ithout fliading thofe above. 



Thofe buds at C and D are defi2;ned to 

 produce fhoots that w^ill bear fruity and the 

 next winter, if long enough, they muft be 

 laid horizontally. 



That at E is intended to lengthen the 

 ftem, and in winter muft be turned in the 

 manner reprefented by Fig. 7. but before 

 branches are turned for ftems cr laid hori- 

 zontally, it is proper to take notice of their" 

 length, and if they are lefs than four k^t 

 long in any fort of vines, they are too 

 weak, and if there are no ftronger bran- 

 ches to fupply their places, they muft be 

 cut down to the firft large bud at the 

 lower endi and if all other buds are ta- 

 ken off, that left on will make fuch a Ihoot 

 as is ivanted before the next winter,
