GARDEN A 
Seasonable Vineyard Work. 
If priming has not been done before now 
it is high time that it be done. To do it 
well requires some judgment and a knowl- 
edge of the principles involved. Leave on 
just wood enough to produce a good but 
not excessive crop. 
Provision should be made early for vines 
that will be large enough to go on the trellis 
this season. The posts should be long 
enough to set deeply into the ground, well 
seasoned, and freed from all bark. It will 
be an advantage to char the butts of the 
posts before setting. 
Those who wish to try their hands at 
grafting the grapevine should begin early. 
As soon as the condition of the soil will 
permit dig around the vines to be grafted, 
remove the soil for three to six inches deep, 
and saw off the vine at a smooth place. 
ing. If there is any danger of the ground 
freezing after early grafting, the grafts 
should be well covered with a mulch. 
The essentials to success in grafting the 
grape seem to be that, the graft should be 
of medium size, from about one-fourth to 
three-eights of and inch in diameter, with 
well developed buds, not less than six to 
eight inches in length, and in good condi- 
tion. The grafting must be done some six 
to eight inches below the surface of the soil 
so as to place the union at a point in the 
ground where the moisture is always suffi- 
cient to keep the graft in a growing state 
and prevent it from becoming dry.

Then, if the vine be not over a half-inch in 
diameter, split the stock, cut the graft in a 
wedge shape like any other graft, and insert 
it firmly, tying around tightly with twine, 
but use no wax of any sort: then press the 
soil firmly around the graft with care, and

fill up to the tip of the upper bud. Set a 
stake by the graft so as to know where to 
find it. When the stock is large as in the 
case of old vines, use a thin-bladed sharp 
saw, and saw out a piece like a very sharp 
wedge, cut the grafts to fit, and tap them 
tight ; then tie as before. The grafts should 
have been cut early iu the winter, before 
exposed to much freezing, and packed away 
in the cellar or buried out of doors in the 
ground. They should be made from sound 
well-ripened wood, as short- jointed as the 
variety will yield. The grafts should be 
kept in about the same condition as the 
stock in regard to advanced vegetation, and
