Growing Vines from Single Eyes. — Will you be 
so kind as to inform me through the Rural how to 
raise native grape vines from single eyes, in a hot-bed? 
John Lowe, Fayetteville, Onon. Co., 2V. Y., 1858. 
Remarks. —Native grape vines, if the wood is 
! sufficiently ripe and strong, may be grown from 
single eyes, by taking a bud with about half an 
inch of wood on each side of it, and inserting it in 
a pot filled with a mixture of leaf mould and sand, 
covering the bud about half an inch, pressing the 
earth firmly about it, and plunging the pot in the 
soil of a hot-bed, with a bottom-heat of 70° or 75°. 
If the wood is small, the eyes should be root graft-

terest we always read communications from the 
years since, and have not received the least care. 
The foundation for a house, tells the story. The 
owner abandoned the trees and the building, and 
both are going to ruin. This is so plain a case 
that we will not dwell. 
We have now arrived at the place where we pur¬ 
pose to take our second lesson. Here are six dwarf 
pear trees. When planted eight or nine years ago 
there were nine in the row, but cattle or disease has 
destroyed two on one end and one on the other, as 
the stumps remaining show. The ground, you see, 
has been entirely neglected. It has not been dis¬ 
turbed by a spade or hoe, and the grass and weeds 
have grown unmolested. Six of the trees have 
■ lived through theBo hardships, but their stunted 
and scrubbed appearance, the hard and woody 
bark, speak too plainly their ill treatment. For 
the first three years they were tolerably well culti¬ 
vated, but since that time have been entirely 
neglected. 
Visitor .—I am surprised to see them in as good 
condition, after the usage you describe, evidence of 
the truth of which I see before me. 
Editor .—We will make a sketch of one of these 
trees, for the facts will be as interesting and profit¬ 
able to others as to ourselves.
