Let the grapes hang on the vine as late as possible, and then 

 cut the bearing shoot, so that the bunch of grapes ^vill lie in the 



centre ; cut the shoot to fit, so that it will slide in by a ti^'ht lit 

 on the bars, one end resting on a ledge of each ; this will hang- 

 the bunches in their natural position, allowing the air to circu- 

 late freely all around them. 



Put the cover on the box Hoose^, and place the latter in as 

 cool a place as you can lind : remove the cover now and then, 

 and examine the bunches, takiuo- off anv dried or decavinsf 

 berries.
