Two branches of Vines are trained horizontally upon this 

 frame, which thus affords an additional crop besides that 

 growing on the hanging trellis. There is likewise a trellis 

 on the back wall for Vines or Figs, and nothing is trained 

 under the roof, or upon the front glass.

 the annexed is a section. 



It is bevelled off on the under side, and a round rod, A, 

 passes along the ridge, from which it is separated at intervals 

 by small pieces of wood, the spaces between which, allow 

 opportunity for tying the branches to the rod, upon which it 

 is trained. The clusters of Grapes produced on this branch, 

 are tied up or supported by threads or matting to two similar 

 rods, BB, which are fixed to the sides of the member, in the 

 same manner as that below. 



It is not my intention to give an opinion of the superiority
