194 A TREATISE OF 



By giving tiae fcem fuch curves, it will 

 occafion branches to break out of the old 

 wood, from thofe parts of the flem that 

 are laid the moft horizontally 3 and though 

 they feldom produce fruit the firft year, 

 yet fome of them fhould be nailed up in 

 the fammer, if there be fpace for them up- 

 on the wail, and may be laid horizontally 

 in the winter, where vacancies require 

 them. 



But I don't choofe to lay any young ho- 

 rizontals nearer each other than eighteen 

 inches, and if thofe branches defigned for 

 ftems or horizontals have not been flopt in 

 the fummer, tlien one third part of their 

 length muft be taken off in the winter. 



Thefe direftions I think are fufficient for 

 the management of young vines 5 and what 

 is to be done when they bear, I will treat 

 of by and by.
