NOVEMBER. 



m 



Spring, every eye on these will produce a young shoot, 

 €>n wiiicii grdj)es may grow. The shoots of last oi ta- 

 mer's growth must be shortened to three or six joiius, 

 according to their strength: shorten the weakest shoota 

 most — the strongest should not have more than six 

 joints left, else they will produce more young shoots 

 next .spring than necessary, and not as good fruit as 

 wnen shortened. In shortening the shoots, cut ahout 

 half an inch distant from the eye, farther from the stem 

 than the eye — the cut sloping towards the extrei/ily^ 

 Branches that have no young shoots on them should be 

 cut away ; and pruned so that you may have a suc- 

 (Tession of young branches, as the old ones decay.
