vines are trained to posts. The horizontal-arm spur, or 

 Fuller system, is another illustration of the upright 

 method. The method of training by arbor is the horizon- 

 tal system, and it has its advantages as well as disad- 

 vantages. The seuppernong is generally cultivated in 

 this way. The overhead Kniffin is a representation of the 

 drooping system, and this system is very popular through 

 many sections of the South. 



Where grapes are cultivated on a small scale it pays 

 the cultivator to bag the fruit, the recompense coming in 

 the shape of superior fruit, and protection against the 

 attacks of insects and disease.
