Propagation. 



Vines are propagated by laying them down in pots ; 

 by cuttings ; and by buds, or single eyes. The first

 can be planted out against a south wall, in order to the 

 better ripening of the wood, especially of those sorts 

 which are tender, it is preferable to the others because 

 it furnishes fine strong plants at the end of the first year. 

 There are several ways of laying down the vine : the one 

 I have practised, and which has always produced as good 

 plants as I could desire, is to commence the operation 

 as soon as the leaves have fallen off the vines. For the 

 strong growing sorts, pots of Cast sixteen may be used ; 

 and for the weaker growers those of twenty-four. Hav- 

 ing prepared some good mould, cover the hole at the 

 bottom with a large piece of potsherd, and fill it three 

 parts full : sink it about two inches below the surface of 

 the soil, at two or three feet distance from the stole,
