288 Cuttings or Rooted Vines. 
while on the way from the nursery to permanent place. The 
reader is, therefore, referred to Chapter VIII for suggestions on 
preparation, laying out, and care of nursery ground intended for 
the rooting of grape cuttings. 
To secure vines upon resistant roots recourse has recently 
been made by some growers to the cutting-graft which will be 
mentioned presently. 
There is a growing tendency to use rooted vines instead of 
cuttings in planting out vineyard, for, although the former cost 
several times as much as the latter, either in the time of the 
grower or in cash outlay, the balance is believed to be usually 
on the other side, when the uniform stand and more satisfactory 
growth secured by rooted vines are considered. 
BUDDING AND GRAFTING THE GRAPE VINE. 
Working over the grape-vine is largely practised in this 
State and is easily accomplished. The occasion is twofold: 
Replacing undesirable varieties with those of better quality, or in 
better market demand, and in bringing the vinifera varieties

upon roots which resist the attacks of the phylloxera. The em- 
ployment of resistant stocks has proved eminently satisfactory 
in this State, the resistant stock having been successfully installed 
even in the hole from which the dead vinifera root has been taken. 
For this reason resistant roots are largely relied upon in the 
planting of new vineyards in infested districts, and are also used 
in regions where the insect is not now found, by those who fear 
and desire to provide against its coming.
