330 Of Vegetation. 



In the fpring, when the Vines had made 

 (hort fhoots, I dipped the points of the pins 

 in the paint, and then pricked the young 

 ihoot of a Vine, ( Fig. 41. ) with the five 

 points at once, from t to p ; I then took 

 off the marking inftrument, and placing the 

 loweft point of it in the hole p> the upper- 

 moft mark, I again pricked frefh holes from 

 p to /, and then marked the two other 

 points i h 5 thus the whole (hoot was marked 

 every % inch, the red paint making every 

 point remain vifible. 



(Fig. 42.) (hews the true proportion of 

 the fame fhoot, when it was full grown, the 

 September following 5 where every corre- 

 sponding point is noted with the fame let-
