 fruit ; but are by the fweetnefs of the water 

 tempted into the phials, and frequently drov/n-

 fooner tempted to the water, than after they 

 have tafted the fruit : where there are a fuffi- 

 cient number of thofe glaffes placed againft the 

 walls in time, the fruit may be preferved from 

 thefe vermin. 



The Vineyard muft now be carefully look- 

 ed over, and all dangling flioots and wild wood 

 muft be difplaced, that the fruit may not be 

 too much covered with leaves ; but by no 

 means diveft any of the fruit branches of their 

 leaves (as fome unfkilful perfons too often 

 praftife), for thefe are abfolutely neceffary to 

 the growth of the fruit ; nor will there be any 

 occafion for this pradice, where the (hoots 

 are duly placed, and the luxuriant flicots con- 

 flantly rubbed off as they are produced. Where 

 this method is begun early in the feafon, and 

 conftantly purfued, as there may be occafion, 

 the fruit will be forv^arded above three weeks 

 (as I have experienced), and will be much 

 fairer, and better tafted, than in the contrary 

 management 3 for when the flioots of the Vines 

 are permitted to hang loofe from the walls 

 or flakes, their leaves will take a contrary di- 



reftion,
