21^" Many suppose it is necessary to have their vines forwarded in 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 moss. The vines will go safer in this- 

 way, and the expense of carriage will be greatly reduced.
