OF THE VINE.

doubted right to confult his own palate ; and more efpecially, 
as I have, in a former part of this work, pointed out the kinds 
mofl: proper for training in a pine-ftove : I {hall, however, juft 
beg leave to obferve, that the more vigorous-growing kinds 
ought not to ftand next each other ; and that, if the different 
fpecies of black, white, blue, grizzly, red, and amber wereju- 
dicioufly mixed, they would have a much better effecfl in re- 
gard to beauty and appearance, than when two or more of the 
fame colour are planted together”- 
The Vines, in general, will begin to {hoot immediately after 
they are brought into the Hot-houfe ; Only one ftioot fhould 
be permitted to remain on each plant ; but for fear of an acci- 
dent, (for young fhoots eafily break off from the old wood) it 
will be advifable to let two remain, till they are grown to a 
fufficient length to be faftened to the rafters. When one fhoot 
is fecure, the other may be taken off, but not clofe to the old 
wood, as it would occafton it to bleed, and thereby greatly in- 
jure the Vine.

" Mr. Carter, in his “Journey from Gibraltar to Malaga,” gives the following 
fuperb account ; — “ This hill is fo full of verdure, that the village, as well as the roads 
about it, are, in a literal fcnfe, covered, {haded, and crowned with all manner of 
fruit-trees af a prodigious fize j to whofe topmoft branches the luxuriant Vine 
mounts vigoroufly and hangs in over-grown clufters, numberlefs bunches of red, 
black, and green grapes, which frequently intermixed wdth the golden-apple, the 
Pomgranate, and the Orange, expofe a moft enchanting pidlure to the charmed 
eye.” p. 7.
