ON THE VINERY. 
At the next or fifth winter’s pruning, obferve to cut the four 
fide fiioots down to two or three eyes each, and the top fhoot 
to fix or feven eyes, or, in general, to about one and a half feet. 
See plate iii. fig. 5. 
The fiioots between the uprights mufi; conftantly be pruned 
down to two or three eyes each, in order to keep up a compe- 
tent fucceflion of the bottom-wood. 
In the following or fixth feafon, the training and pruning 
mufi; be nearly the fame as in the preceding, with this only 
difference, that the uprights having advanced one and a half 
feet, every upright will admit of two fide flioots more than in 
the former year, viz. three on each fide. See plate iii. fig. 6. 
When the Vines are arrived at this ftage, the wall will, in 
the next fummer, be completely covered by the principals 
only 5 and, therefore, the temporary plants fhould, by de- 
crees, be previoufly cut away to make room for them. 
Here I wifh not to be junderftood, as affirming that the prin- 
cipals will always arrive at this date, (viz. the fixth ftage) at 
the fixth feafon after planting. — Vines are liable to impedi- 
ments and obftrudions from various caufes ; and fo long as 
they make weak fhoots in the fummer, they muft invariably 
be cut fhort down to two or three eyes at the next winter’s 
pruning,
