and Pruning Of course, it is not necessary that the vines be 
3 trained or pruned but this does have certain ad¬ 
vantages. Stakes may be set and the plants 
pruned to a single stem, tying perpendicular to the stake with cord. This 
is rather an expensive process and not followed by most commercial growers. 
Many, however,, pinch out all lateral branches as soon as they appear and 
confine the growth to one stem. When several clusters of fruit are set on, the 
vines are topped; this stopping further growth of the vine and concentrates 
the energy of the plant toward maturing the fruits that are already set. Ad¬ 
vocates of this system claim larger fruits and several days of earliness over 
unpruned plants. Cultivate as long as the vines will permit. The last two 
or three workings of the soil should be very shallow. If you wish information 
on the building and managing of hotbeds, let us know and we will send 
leaflet on this subject.
