328 FORCING GARDEN. 
late the trellis has frequently been divided into portions 
of a moderate breadth, placed vertically under the rafter. 
This form is called the hanging trellis, and is described at 
length in the Lond. Hortic. Trans.,vol. vi. ' A section of 
one variety has this appearance. (See Fig. 37.) 
This form leaves the middle of the sash open to the sun s 
rays, and allows the back wall to be covered with bearing 
wood, a thing which, in other circumstances, can scarcely 
be done with any beneficial effect. It must, however, be 
admitted that, according to the experience of some, this 
arrangement is inferior to the common trellis. 
It is of importance that the included soil and front bor- 
der of a vinery should be fresh and rich, and of a consider- 
able depth. Mr. Griffen (in Lond. Hortic: Trans.) recom- 
mends as a compost “ one-half of good loamy soil with its 
turf, one-quarter of rich old dung, and one-quarter of 
brick and lime rubbish ;, the turf well rotted, and the whole 
well incorporated.” Plants raised from cuttings, and pre- 
pared for two or three years in pots, are preferred for the 
furnishing of a vinery ; and when planted inside the house, 
there should not be fewer than two plants to ‘each sash. 
It is scarcely necessary to enumerate the particular 
varieties of the grape-vine, as adapted for a vinery, for 
every good variety deserves a place where there is room, 
and all those which have been already mentioned are occa- 
sionally employed. It may be remarked, however, that the 
kinds should be assorted according to the order of their 
ripening. The early grapes, such as the Muscadines, 
should be planted in a house by themselves; those of a 
medium character, the Frontignacks and Black Hamburgh, 
for example, may occupy a second; while the late Tokay, 
the Muscat of Alexandria, Nice, Syrian, and others, would 
be fit inmates for a third. This would produce a regular
