 able, and fbme were cut off by the inclemency of the 

 weather, others, that were later ripe, nnight efcape the in- 

 jury. It is certainly beft to plant each fort in a diftin<Sl 

 quarter by itfelf, if v^e mean to avoid confufion, and to 

 reap every advantage. 



The next thing to be confidered is the quality of the 

 vines to be made choice of. This muft be limited, and 

 adapted to the climate where the vineyard is planted. The 

 moft hardy and earlieft ripe, will beft fuit the moft north- 

 ern colonies, I mean thofe of New-Hampfhire, Bofton, 

 Rhode-Iiland and Connedicut. As to thofe countries, that

and the three Lower Counties; I mean for the clear 

 and open parts of thefe countries; to which may be added 

 the following forts, which I recommend by way of trial, 

 they being more tender, but ripen in September; they 

 fhould have the warmeft birth in the vineyard.
