Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. Plate No. CO. To form the arms, only the shoots that spring from the base buds are retained; but to grow vines with shoots opposite, the one that springs from the first well-developed bud must also be retained to continue the vine, as shown in the engraving A B. At A the same operation is performed in June as before described, pinching off main shoot and suppression of lateral. In engraving A, B, c, D, may be seen the manner of pruning at the end of the season, and in the next engraving the manner of proceeding for any length of stock. It will be observed that the shoots c, c, are pruned so as to take shoots only from the base buds. In the next engraving the double shoots may be seen form- ed, as they are in full bearing, and the pruning of these shoots should be noted, the upper one being cut away by cutting through the spur, and the lower one being cut so as to form a new spur with two buds. Above may be seen the two shoots marked for prun- ing, as the lower ones were the year before, and the shoot above prepared as before also There is a very good mode of training from one single upright stem upon a trellis in front of a sheltering wall whose hight may be from four to six feet. After one upright cane has been pro- duced, shoots may be taken from buds at each side that are found at about the right distances apart. That will be about two feet apart on each side, or a little less, so that shoots being taken al- ternately will be distant from nine to twelve inches. These shoots will "show;> three bunches of fruit each, but two will be quite enough for them to carry. At the time of pruning, they may be cut to the third well- developed bud, the upper one to be rubbed"off at its first pushing, and the two oth
