OF THE CULTURE 
The leaves of the pale red and Grizzly Grapes are not al- 
ways tinged with red ; but whenever the leaft tinge of red, 
purple, or fcarlet appears on the leaves of the vine at the time 
of their maturation, it is a certain criterion that the grapes 
will be either of a grizzly, a red, or a black colour. By a 
flridl attention to this remark, a perfon may be enabled to afcer- 
tain the colour of the grapes of Seedling Vines at the end of 
the firfi: year. 
Although the fituation and climate of this country be too 
unfavourable for bringing the bell: kinds of grapes to perfedlion 
in a natural way, yet, by artificial means, we are enabled to 
carry even the latefl: ripening forts to almofl as high a degree 
of perfedion as in any part of the globe. 
The mofl; certain methods of obtaining grapes in perfedion 
in this country, are either to propagate the Vines in pine 
ftoves, or againfl flued walls covered with glafs, commonly 
called Vineries. 
In fome feafons there are many kinds of early grapes brought 
to a tolerable degree of maturity againft common walls s but 
"even in a propitious feafon, the befl forts of grapes thus pro- 
duced are of little value; whereas even the latell forts, when 
propagated in a pine flove or vinery, feldom fail of producing 
crops of well- flavoured grapes.
