ON THE VINERY. 



Ill 



and the method of raising Vine-plants to furnish 

 the wall. 



Bat then, as I have, in the former part of this 

 work, explained myself fully on both these heads, 

 a repetition of them here would be altogether 

 needless and superfluous. 



We will then suppose both the wall and border 

 to be complete, and plants wherewith to furnish 

 them ready. 



Vine-plants raised in pots will sometimes make 

 a good progress the first summer, when planted 

 out for good about the month of June : but it is 

 hardly possible to getlhe border in proper order 

 for planting the same summer that the wall is 

 built, because the ingredients of which it is com- 

 posed require much time, and a winter's frost is 

 of great use in causing them to incorporate, meli- 

 orate, and settle. The same care will, therefore, 

 be required in preserving the plants through the 

 winter, as has already been recommended for those 

 intended for the hot-house. And so at the prun- 

 ing season, the Vine-plants intended for the walls 

 should have been previously pruned down to nine 

 or ten inches, as has been already directed. 



The beginning of March is a fit season for 

 planting the Vines : but the choice of proper 

 kinds, which has been already treated of, and the 

 distance at which they should be planted, ought 

 previously to be ascertained. 



It should seem that sufficient attention had not 

 hitherto been given to the latter of these heads of
