OF THE VINE.

In the next feafon, the horizontal (lioots will produce new 
wood from almoft every eye, provided all the fiioots be pinched 
oil from every other part of thefe plants as foon as they appear. 
Lay in the young wood at proper dillances, that is, the fhoots 
from one to two feet apart, according to the kind of Vine to 
be trained, whether it produces fmall or large leaves : But of 
this I lhall have occahon to treat more particularly hereafter. 
The flioots muft all be trained in a perpendicular diredlion; 
and provided they are ftrong and vigorous, may be permitted 
to grow to the length of five or fix feet before they are flop- 
ped ; but thefe fhoots mufl all be cut down to two or three 
eyes at the next winter’s pruning. 
Only one fhoot fhould be permitted to rife from each fpur 
the following feafon j and although they will, in general, be 
fufficiently flrong, and produce two or three bunches apiece, 
yet only one bunch fhould be fuffered to remain upon each 
flioot : The remaining bunches will then be large and fine, 
and the wood alfo will be greatly benefited by this mode of 
practice. 
Thefe fhoots mufl be pruned next winter very difi'erently 
from the preceding. One flioot mufl be left four feet, that 
next it only a few inches long, and fo on alternately, through- 
out the whole length of the wall. The reafon for this alter- 
nate difference in pruning, and for the continuation of the fu- 
ture
