The foregoing being the principal varieties of the 
fruk of the Common Grape-Vine; the trees of which 
are hardy to grow in any common foil and lituation; but 
fhould generally have adry .warm funny expofure,again(l 
fouth walls, to have tire fruit ripen in good perfection ; 
and fome require afiiltanceof artificial heat, or protec¬ 
tion of glafies, Sec. in order to obtain the fruit in full 
maturity, as intimated under the names. See. of the re- 
fpeCtive forts. 
All the varieties of Vines bear on the young ihoots 
of the fame year, arifing from thelaft year’s wood; fi> 
that a general fupply of the young Ihoots mull be pre¬ 
ferred every year, in fummer and winter-pruning, for 
fucceflional bearers. 
They are propagated or raifed by layers and cut¬ 
tings of the young Ihoots and branches, in autumn or 
fpring, which will be well rooted in one feafon. 
Vines, being of long extending, trailing, or climbing 
growth, require the fupport of walls, &c. on which to 
train their branches; and allotted fome belt fouth walls, 
or of a foutherly afpeCt, to enjoy all pofiible benefit of 
the fun to forward the growth and ripening of the fruit, 
in good perfection; may be planted in autumn or 
fpring, or any time from October to March, or begin¬ 
ning of April, fet ten to twelve or fifteen feet dillance; 
and the branches trained to the wall, either horizon¬ 
tally, or more or lefs upright, according as the allotted 
Ipace of walling admits, arranged fix or eight, to ten 
or twelve inches afunder. 
The Vines require a drefiing or pruning every year 
in fummer and winter. 
The fummer-pruning conlills of a general regulation 
of the young Ihoots of the fame year only, commenc¬ 
ing it in the latter end of April, or in May or begin¬ 
ning of June; and difplace all weakly Ihoots advanc¬ 
ing from the old wood, except in vacancies, being 
careful to preferveall the immediate fruit Ihoots, and 
others as are Itrong and well- placed in all parts, for 
future mother bearers or fupply of branches; and nail 
the whole regular to the wall all fummer, and, when 
confiderably extended, may be Ihortened difcretionally. 
The winter-pruning comprifes a general operation 
both among the old branches and young wood, any 
time from OCtober till March, obferving, in which, 
to feleCt a general fupply of the beft ihoots of lalt fum¬ 
mer, in all paus, for next year’s mother bearers, &c. 
fix or eight to ten or twelve inches dillance, cutting 
out the fuper-abundant, with part of the lalt year’s 
bearers and naked, old wood, to maice room for the 
fucceflional young, which Ihorten, more or lefs, by 
cutting each to three, four, five, or fix eyes, or joints, 
according to their llrength; then nail the whole, both 
young and old branches, regularly to the wall, eight, 
ten, or twelve inches dillance.
