VINEYARD AND OUT-DOOR CULTURE. iZ 
dulk of plant than is acquired after the third year 18 
practicable A reference to the chapter on pruning will 
explain all respecting this part; so there is no use in pur- 
suing the subject further, excepting to state that cleanli- 
ness is one of the first demands of the vineyard, and is sure 
to more than repay for the invested labor. 
The training over arbors, around dwellings, and ail 
su:h positions, will require the same fundamental culture 
that has been explained for the vineyard, the only differ- 
ence being in the peculiar desires or fancy of the culti- 
vator with regard to the form of the plant. As the grape- 
vine is so lavish with its embracing arms, they may be 
entwined around or over anything that will give them 
support ; the whole plant will continue to delight the eye 
with its beauty, and gratify the palate with its luscious 
sweets, if kindly treated. Even with worse than careless- 
ness, we may enjoy a portion of its liberality ; but, accord- 
ing as kindness is bestowed, so may we expect to meet 
with an abundant gratitude; for, like the dettcr part of 
humanity, it can appreciate, and wiil fully return former 
benevolence.
