ON THE MANAGEMENT 
When ihe plants have fo far advanced as to have three or 
four joints apiece, they muft be carefully fliaked out and 
planted each in a feparate pot, filled with the fame kind of 
mould as was before recommended. 
The greateft care will be required in the performance of the 
above operation, as it will be beneficial to preferve as much of 
the roots as poflible. When the plants again are placed in the 
tan, or the hot- bed, a gentle fprinkling of water fliould be given 
them ; and from thenceforward they may be treated exadtly 
in the fame manner as will be recommended hereafter for 
plants raifed from cuttings. 
I fliall go on, therefore, to obferve, that it would not be 
prudent to furnifii a wall, or any part of a Hot-houfe, with 
feedling Vines in their untried fiate, or before they have 
produced fruit. For although the profpeifi of obtaining good 
kinds from feed faved in a Hot-houfe, be more promifing 
and certain than that of getting them from feed of grapes in 
vine countries, (becaufe there, when the Vines flower, the very 
air is impregnated with the farina of the grapes of the vine- 
yard, which are, generally, of forts only efieemed for making 
wine, but, in a Flot-houfe, the beft-eating grapes are only 
planted,) yet many of the nev/ kinds from feed will prove to be 
worfe forts than the originals from which the feed was faved. A 
fpecimen, therefore, of the fruit, firoulJ be obtained from each 
plant, be tried and tailed, before it is permitted to be planted 
againfl
