THE COLD GRAPERY. 
Tue following observations contain directions for the 
treatment of a planting of vines in the second year, the 
rmanent management of the Cold Grapery, and some 
other details of a general character. 
the winter milds off, and warm sunny days com- 
menee, give air sufficient to keep the house cool, and to

injured by the late spring frosts, aud cold storms. When 
it is perceived that the buds are swelling, and can no 
longer be kept back, take the covering off carefully, and 
tie the vines down in the form of an arch, with the heads 
leaning from the glass, as in this position they are not so 
subject to injury in case frost should occur; there is also 
the advantage of causing a more lateral propelling force — 
to the rising sap, which is compelled to develop the
