Of Pruning a Fruit-bearing Vine the 

 common Way. 



F^ IG. 6, reprefents a vine cut and naird 

 in the winter after the method gene- 

 rally pra6lifed, with all the nether and 

 other ufelefs buds left on -, and though ths 

 buds at the upper end will produce fruit- 

 bearing branches, yet they will be fo near 

 one another, that except part are taken off, 

 both the fruit and young v/ood will be 

 too much fhaded : by this method of cut- 

 ing and nailing, there will be a neceffity ta 

 take out more branches than there are to 

 be nailed up at the firfl time of dreffing in 

 the fummer ; and if they are not taken out^ 

 the prefent ^ fruit will be worfe, and the 

 next year's branches will produce but little 

 fruit. ' '
