EARLY GRAPES IN THE PINERY. 201 



great perfection those sorts of grapes which 

 other forcing houses cannot be expected to do, 

 the vinery excepted. 



The plants should be planted in a border 

 prepared for them, outside the south front, east 

 end, or west end of the house, as circumstances 

 must dictate ; when planted in the front, and 

 for quick produce, one plant is generally planted 

 against each style or upright quartering of the 

 front of the hothouse, and after being trained 

 with a single stem of one or two summer's 

 growth, it is introduced into the house early in 

 winter, through a small hole in the wall or other 

 aperture formed for the purpose, and trained up 

 (one stem) along each rafter, having fixed 

 wires or thin slips of wood nailed across to train 

 the young shoots to. 



I need not expatiate further on the subject, 

 here, as hereafter the management of the vine 

 will be more elaborately treated on ; but before 

 leaving the pinery altogether, I shall make a 

 few remarks on its further uses.
