muft all be trained in a perpendicular diredlionj and even fup- 
pofing them very ftrong and vigorous, not more than one bunch- 
(liould be permitted to remain upon each. Thefe (hoots may 
run five or fix feet before they are (lopped. 
The temporary plants will, in general, (lioot very (Irong, 
and (lievv much fruit. Either three or five (hoots may be left 
upon thofe branches that were pruned to fifteen or twenty eyes, 
that is, a leading (lioot from the top, and one or two on each 
fide. The latter (liould be (lopped at the fecond, third, or fourth 
joints above the uppermoft bunch, but the leading (hoot ihould 
be fuffered to run nearly to the top of the houfe. Only one 
(lioot (liould be left upon thofe that are pruned down to three 
or four eyes, and this (hoot mufi: be (lopped at the third or 
fourth joint above the bunch. 
The (lioots at the rafters, that were pruned to twenty or 
twenty-five eyes each, will probably pu(h at all of them ; but 
not more than five or feven fiioots (hould be permitted to re- 
main, even on the (Irongefl, viz. a leading (hoot, and two or 
three on each fide. Obferve, one (hoot upon each (hould be 
left as near to the bottom as can be, as the whole plant will 
re(]^uire to be pruned down to this (lioot the next winter. 
Only one (lioot (hould be left upon thofe Vines that were 
pruned down to three or four eyes, (I fuppofe at every other 
rafter)
