ON THE VINERY.

The Vines thus planted, are intended in due 

 time, entirely to cover the wall ; but as it is very 

 desirable to obtain a crop of grapes as soon as 

 possible, it will be eligible and expedient to plant 

 other Vines between for immediate bearing. But 

 now as these of the intermediate plantation must be 

 trained very differently from the former, I shall, for 

 distinction sake, call them temporary plants, and 

 the others principals. One temporary plant should 

 be placed in the middle of every space between the 

 principals. Plants that have been two or three 

 years in pots, and that will come into immediate 

 bearing, are most proper for this purpose. They 

 must all be planted with the same care as has 

 already been recommended for Vines in the hot- 

 house, and arranged close to a trellis fixed in the 

 wall, and to which their shoots are to be trained. 



In planting the principals, it will be proper to 

 set the plants so, that the two uppermost eyes in 

 each may stand fair for the shoots going to the 

 right and left : the necessity of this caution will 

 be clearly explained, when I come to treat on the 

 method of training. 



Hitherto I have only taken notice of planting 

 the flued wall, but it will be necessary to observe, 

 that a few plants may be set against the front wall 

 also, in order to their being trained up the rafters. 

 These may either be planted within or on the 

 outside of the Vinery, as the front wall should 

 stand upon arches, to afford the roots of all the 

 Vines an opportunity of extending their fibres to
