GRAPE VINES. 
Many good crops of grapes are grown in green- 
houses without any artificial boat, and often 
when other plants aro cultivated in tho same 
house. Great care must however be taken that 
plants aro not grown which are liablo to he 
attacked by Mealy Dug or Red Spider. Ferns, 
Palms, Bulbs, Chrysanthemums and Zonal Polar- < 
goniums may however bo grown in a vinery.' 
The best position for a vinery is facing South or i 
South-West, and a loan-to house is the best. 
In making tho border* for planting, it is most , 
important that ample drain ago bo supplied, 
especially so if the site is at all cold or wot. 
To those about to plant vines we recommend 
the careful study of some good book, such as ■ 
“ Grai*ks and How to Grow’ Them,” by J. I 
Lands oil, price 3/9 post free. 
Tho fruiting canes wo offer aro strong and 
stout, from eight to ten feet in length ; and if 
cultivated in pots will bear from eight to twelve | 
bunches each uext season.
