A Vine is a very accommodating plant 
as far as • the growing of shoots is con¬ 
cerned. In the hands of a skilled per- 
' son it is also very accommodating as far 
as fruit-bear.ng is concerned. But the 
inexperienced amateur will quickly note 
that his Vine is striving to get out-of¬ 
hand. as it were; to get beyond him; it 
Is continually making and multiplying 
its growths, and unless the latter are 
judiciously kept in order, the fruit borne 
by the Vine will not be even third class 
as regards flavour and quality. 
But when the amateur has mastered the 
mamy details connected with the culture 
of the Grape Vine, he will manipu.ate his 1 
verltilators, dose the loots, disbud the 
shoots, remove the surplus bunches, thin 
the berries out, and feed and pinch the 
growing branches, all in due season, with 
every confidence. 
But to attain the necessary skill we 
must commence at the beginning; there 
are so many amateurs who wish to erect 
vineries, to plant Vines in houses already 
in existence, or to have at least one or 
two Vines in their greenhouse, and all 
require instructions. 
The ,Best Position for the Vinery. 
—If the house is a lean-to (see Figs. 1 
and 4), that is, a house with one glass 
roof, built against a tall wall, the ends 
should face east and west respectively. If 
the house is a span-roofed one (see Fig. 
2 and 3), Thait is, a house with two glass 
roofs, then the ends should face north 
and south respectively. In both in¬ 
stances you will observe that the maxi¬ 
mum amount of sunshine reaches all parts 
of the houses; and as Vines delight in 
sunshine, and, in fact, will not grow and 
bear fruit satisfactorily without a great 
deal of exposure to sunshine, it will be 
readily seen how important a matter it 
is to " choose the right position for the 
house. 
It would not Le wise to build the house 
on the highest point, nor in the lowest 
part -of the garden if the latter is h.lly. 
A position three parts way up a gentle 
slope would be an ideal one if the slope 
faced the -south. Some protection from 
the north and east winds would prove 
beneficial.

The temperature inside the vinery 
should always be well under the control 
of the owner, and if cold winds are kept 
off, the internal heat of the house may be 
maintained as desired with economy as 
regards fuel and labour in stoking. 
Having decided upon the position of the 
house, we must next attend to
