places. 
Alfo, when leading ffioots of the uprights advance beyond 
due bounds, it will be expedient to cut all fuch ffioots entirely 
away, down to the next fide ffioots below, which ffioots ffiould 
be trained upwards to form new leaders. 
By this method of prad:ice, a Vine-wall may be conflantly 
kept in a regular and elegant form, without ever varying much
