ON THE VINERY. 



a border on the outside. If planted on the out- 

 side, the Vine-shoots must be taken through small 

 holes made for that purpose under each rafter. 

 Great care, however, should be had respecting the 

 future management of these, to prevent their 

 injuring the Vines of the flued wall ; but of this 1 

 shall have occasion to speak more fully elsewhere. 



As soon as the Vines are planted, the border 

 should be pricked over about three or four inches 

 deep, and made smooth : then the glasses should 

 be put on, as it is of consequence that the Vines 

 should shoot off with vigour. Gentle fires should 

 be made in an evening, plenty of air given in the 

 day-time, and especially when the weather is fine 

 and clear. 



The Vines will immediately begin to grow: 

 the principals must be divested of all the shoots 

 but the two uppermost, which are to be trained 

 sideway to the right and left ; these shoots, how- 

 ever, are not to be brought down to an horizontal 

 position till the next winter's pruning. 



As the temporary plants are intended to occupy 

 the upper part of the wall, while the principals are 

 furnishing it below, let the shoots of those be 

 trained upwards for that purpose. 



The Vines planted in front must be trained with 

 one shoot only from each plant, exactly the same 

 as has been directed for the Vines in the hot- 

 house. 



If any of the Vines show fruit, the bunches 

 should be pinched off as soon as they appear.
