If you have a dealer in small-fruit plants in 

 your locality, it might be well to consult him

 be done, if one would have his vines come 

 through the winter in good condition. The 

 practice w^hich prevails in different sections of 

 the country will enable the reader to decide 

 this matter for himself.
