VINES AND VINE-CULTURE.—CHAPTER VI. 
273 
The leaves of a Vine are large, so that the side-shoots should not be less than from 
18 in. to 24 in. apart. This will allow of a greater and better leaf-development 
on each particular shoot that may be left. It is only by allowing space and full 
exposure that leaves can be properly developed; and assuredly, without good 
leaves, we can never get good Grapes.—A. F. Barron.
