CASSELL'S POPULAR GAEDENING. 



withstanding tlie fact tliat each, variety possesses 

 some good quality, it is not practicable, neither is it 

 desirahle, to attempt the cultivation of more than a 

 tithe of them in any private garden. In order to 

 keep up a constant supply of fiist-class grapes aU 

 the year round, not less than four houses should he 

 employed : and if six are at command, varieties re- 

 quiring special treatment can be much better grown 

 than when they are mixed up together. These 

 houses would include: — 



No. 1. — For early forcing, in which the fruit would 

 be ripe in April and May. 



No. 2. — An early summer vinery, for carrying on 

 the supply thi-ough June and July. 



No. 3. — A large mid-season house, in which several 

 varieties are generally grown. 



No. 4. — A Muscat house, for gi^'ing a supply of 

 this delicious gi^ape from August onwards. 



No. 5. — A late or autumn Hambro' house, for 

 keeping up the supply until Chi'istmas. 



No. 6. — A large late house, in which such kinds as 

 Lad}^ Do^-nes and Alicante are gi-own for bottling at 

 Chiistmas, to carry on the supply until new giapes 

 come round again in April. 



If properly arranged, no great number of kinds 

 are required to maintain this constant supply ; and, 

 as every grower wishes to have the best, a selection 

 from the following will be found adequate to his 

 requirements. It is hardly necessary to say the 

 quantity must be regulated by the demand ; as, for 

 instance, where very early and late Muscats are 

 required, two houses should be devoted to tbeii" 

 cidture, and double that number to the universal 

 Hambro', which all grape-growers look upon as their 

 ne\^er-failing sheet-anchor.

Nos. 4 and 9 being somewhat capricious and in some 

 p'aces diiBcult to manage, one vine of each should be 

 planted first to ascertain if the soil suits them. Although 

 not f-o rich as some, they are very fine, handsome, and 

 worthy of careful trial.

F OS. 1, 2, 4. and 5 are the be't. When more than four 

 white varieties are wanted, one each of 3 and 6 may be 

 grown. No. 6 is an excellent old grape, but requiring as 

 much fire-heat as the Muscat, to which it is inferior, it is 

 not generally grown.
