produced from the horizontals down to three or four eyes 
each. See plate iii. fig. 3. 
The fiioots of the temporary plants rnufl be pruned accord- 
ing to their firength and vigour j obferving, however, to prune 
the lower Ihoots of each plant down to three or four eyes, in 
order to furnifli a fucceffion of bottom-wood. But the ftrong 
leading flioots may, neverthelefs, be left to a pretty good length, 
viz. from eight or ten to fixteen or eighteen eyes, according to 
their firength ; by this means the upper part of the wall will 
foon become completely furnilhed. 
Thofe Vines at the rafters, that have born a crop, mull: all 
be pruned down to the lowermofi; fummer fiioot on each, which 
fhoot fiiculd be fhortened to four or five eyes ; and the Vines 
between the bearers (i. e. at every other rafter) fiiould be cut 
down to twenty or twenty-five eyes, or, in general, to about 
two-thirds of the length of the rafters. 
In the following, and all fucceeding feafons, the Vines will 
require a management fimilar to that of the preceding one; 
therefore a repetition will be unnecefiary. 
As the Vines advance in age, they will certainly be enabled 
to produce every year, for a certain period, a larger crop of 
fruit : It is to be obferved, however, that this mufi; always be 
proportioned to the firength and vigour of the Vines.
