ON THE VINERY.

what might be deemed right in the early part of the fpring, 
would certainly be wrong later in the fummer. 
In Holland, it is cuflomary to begin to force Vines in No- 
vember, in order to have ripe grapes early in the fpring. In 
thefe frames, ufed for winter forcing, it is found neceffary, 
that the glafs frames flaould be in an almoft perpendicular di- 
redlion. The Dutch have alfo a method of forcino- Vines 
O 
planted in the open ground, the fhoots of which are trained 
in an horizontal pofition, about eighteen inches from the 
ground. Over the Vines, which are forced in the fummer, 
they put frames nearly as flat as thofe commonly made ufe of 
for melons. 
Hence it follows, that the conflrndlion of the different 
frames, or buildings, for the purpofe of producing grapes, 
flmuld not only vary according to the quantity required, but 
alfo according to the feafon in which that fruit is intended to 
be produced.’ — The roof fhould be fteep for early forcing, and 
flatter for the fummer. 
As I have given a plan and explanation of a Vinery, which 
has conftantly fucceeded in producing good crops of grapes 
for more than twenty years, it may feem unneceffary to fay 
more upon this head ; for the fatisfadlion, however, of thofe 
who wifli to proceed on a lefs extenfive and more oeconomical 
fcale, I fliall fuggefl a few more hints upon this fubjedt in 
another place.
