For example, if there be a wish to save fuel, and yet to have 

 grapes of several varieties, which ripen at different seasons, 

 of the late sorts there will, under the common method, be 

 only a few brought to perfection at the tops of the trees, 

 whilst those that are near tfye bottom will not ripen, and that 

 part of those trees will accordingly be useless. But in the 

 arrangement above described, the early and late sorts may be 

 procured at the same time, in equal abundance and perfec- 

 tion, by training the early sorts, let us suppose the Sweet- 

 water, at the bottom, the middling ones, such as the Black 

 Hamburgh, next, and the late, such as the Muscat of Alex- 

 andria, at the top. Again, if it be wished to have some very 

 early, and others very late, the order may be reversed, by 

 placing the early varieties at the top, and the late at the bot- 

 tom : in which case, more fuel will be required. This method, 

 it will be perceived, may be varied in many ways, and will 

 operate under all the degrees of forcing. 



I have the honour to be, &c.
