In the cool region, with vines planted 5ft. x 5ft., there is ample 

 room to work implements in two perpendicular directions. At 6ft. 

 x 6ft. they may be worked in four different directions. At distances 

 stated for the other regions implements may at any time be worked in 

 four directions. 



The quincunx system will be readily understood by reference to 

 Fig. 10. It presents the advantage of enabling the ground to be 

 worked in three directions, but is somewhat inconvenient, as the 

 oblique rows towards the outside of the blocks are all of different 

 lengths.

FIG. 10. 



Each vine is opposite to a space, thus offering facilities for work- 

 ing, it being possible to move the scarifier to avoid projecting 

 branches. The vines are so situated that one is always equidistant
