VINE. 



291 



All lateral shoots which bore fruit to be 

 cut clean away. 



The system of management now detailed 

 must be practised every future year, by 

 shortening the shoots, cutting away entirely 

 the lateral ones that bore last season, also 

 in training up young ones from the bottom 

 of the branches every year; and it may be 

 pursued for a great many years without 

 exhausting the Vines. The fruit will be 



considerably finer by treating the Vine in 

 this manner, than if it was spurred as is ge- 

 nerally the case. When it is required to 

 renew the Vines, the upright shoots may all 

 be cut down to about two buds from their 

 origin. The border may be also renewed in 

 the manner directed for stoves or Vineries.
