unless it has an abundance of well-ripened wood the preced¬ 
ing year. 
The general management may be the same as the first year, 
until we come to pruning again. Then the side shoots should 
be taken off in the fall pruning, leaving two eyes; for the first 
eye is seldom well developed. Three or four feet of the new 
growth is left on the main cane. 
The general management the third year is similar to that 
given for the second, varying only in respect to the amount of 
fruit grown. 
Varieties .—The varieties I have growing, are well adapted 
to this latitude. Some of them are known by several names. 
I would plant in the following proportion: 
0 Black Hamburgh. 
2 Wilmot’s Black Hamburgh. 
1 Black Cluster—one of the earliest. 
G Black Zinfindale, bunches long with 
two shoulders. 
4 Black Prince. 
2 Black Frontignac. 
1 Bose Chasselas. * 
1 Reine de Nice. 
2 Golden Chasselas. 
1 Tokay. 
2 White Canon Hall Muscat. 
2 White Muscat of Alexandria. 
1 White Plantation Cluster. 
2 White Nice. 
2 White Frontignac. 
1 White Tokay. 
2 Chasselas Musque. 
4 Royal Muscadine. 
The Muscats should be planted in the warmest part of the 
vinery. 
Mildew .—Sulphur will check or stop mildew by sprinkling it 
on the leaves after syringing, and raising the temperature a 
few degrees. Keep the house closer and dryer for a few days; 
but be careful that the sulphur does not get ignited, or it will 
kill vines and all. But if exposed to the rays of the sun it 
will send off fumes that will destroy the mildew; but will not 
hurt the vines, or the leaves even, although the sulphur may lie 
upon the top of the leaves, and exposed to the sun. 
Spread a pound of sulphur (in a house of the dimensions 
herewith given,) upon pieces of boards, or in shallow pans, in 
different parts of the vinery, and let it remain exposed to the 
sun from the first of June to the first or middle of August.
