ON THE CULTIVATION AND FORCING OF THE 
VINE. 
By Mr. D. Doig. 
Horticulture has of late years advanced with such rapid 
strides, that at the present day, the cultivation and forcing of 
the vine is so generally understood among practical gardeners, 
that it is probable the following remarks may contain nothing 
new. I have been induced to take up this subject at the ex¬ 
press desire of a brother member ; and in the hope, that it may 
be the means of drawing some practical observations from the 
members present: should the few remarks I am about to make, 
in any way be the means of affording information on the subject 
of forcing the vine, to any of my fellow members, the end I had 
in view will be realised, and I shall rest satisfied that my time 
has not been spent in vain. 
It may be supposed, that in treating of this subject a short 
historical sketch of the vine should be introduced, but I decline 
doing so, on the ground that I should have to copy this inform¬ 
ation from books already published, which is entirely foreign to 
my intention. I shall, therefore, simply refer to “ Ilhind’s 
Vegetable Kingdom,” where the requisite historical information 
will be found, under the article Grape Vine. 
I propose to treat on the various heads by rotation, as follows : 
— Propagation; Preparation of the border; Planting; and 
Prunbig ; and conclude with a few general remarks.
