  Vitis 
  vinifera 
  L. 
  Grape. 
  

  

  "The 
  grapevines 
  here 
  are 
  planted 
  on 
  ridges 
  12 
  to 
  15 
  feet 
  apart, 
  with 
  broad 
  

   furrows 
  running 
  along 
  them, 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  water 
  is 
  allowed 
  to 
  flow. 
  At 
  the 
  

   approach 
  of 
  cold 
  weather 
  (early 
  November) 
  the 
  vines 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  loose 
  soil 
  

   to 
  prevent 
  them 
  from 
  freezing. 
  At 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  March 
  they 
  are 
  uncovered 
  again 
  

   and 
  pruned. 
  All 
  the 
  Asiatic 
  and 
  Caucasian 
  grapes 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  pruned 
  

   with 
  long 
  wood 
  to 
  produce 
  the 
  heaviest 
  yields. 
  The 
  many 
  shoots 
  which 
  the 
  

   plants 
  are 
  allowed 
  to 
  have 
  are 
  trained 
  over 
  the 
  ground, 
  the 
  fruit-bearing 
  stems 
  

   being 
  put 
  on 
  short 
  forked 
  stakes 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  bunches 
  from 
  touching 
  the 
  soil. 
  

   When 
  trained 
  to 
  wires 
  the 
  grapes 
  shrivel 
  and 
  dry 
  from 
  the 
  great 
  heat. 
  This 
  

   system, 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  simple 
  and 
  requires 
  but 
  little 
  work, 
  could 
  safely 
  be 
  intro- 
  

   duced 
  in 
  those 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  where 
  the 
  winters 
  are 
  too 
  cold 
  for 
  

   the 
  vinifera 
  type 
  of 
  grapevines 
  to 
  survive 
  unless 
  protected, 
  but 
  where 
  the 
  

   summers 
  are 
  hot 
  enough 
  to 
  make 
  the 
  grapes 
  ripen. 
  All 
  the 
  vines 
  in 
  the 
  Govern- 
  

   ment 
  garden 
  are 
  grafted 
  on 
  American 
  stock, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  resist 
  the 
  Phylloxera."
