{=s" Many suppose it is necessary to have their vines forwarded zn the pots; but this 
is an error, except in the growing season. For transportation, the plants should be 
taken out of the pots, and packed securely in cloth or moss. The vines will go safer 
in this way, and the expense of carriage will be greatly reduced.
