. Descriptive catalogue of Iona vines with wholesale and retail price-lists for 1864, describing and exhibiting the relative importance of all our valuable native vines. Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 31 three feet in advance of the wall, to be brought sufficiently near to it by two stages, which will require three years. If better vines are used, it may be done in two seasons, and. with the best, in one ; while with inferior plants four seasons will be required. The plan shown on page 29, Plate No. 20, is more generally adopted than any other, and may be regarded as the best. The space occupied is three feet, in the direction of the rows, with the rows four or five feet apart, which for the Delaware may be taken as the best distances, in consideration of both tillage and production, in connection with the general management. To plant box-layers for occupying the border and the wall the first season, make the excavation as directed for the large layers, page 28, Plates Nos. 11 and 12, so that the cane will stand, when upright, two feet and a half from the wall, the farthest portion of the roots being nearly four feet from the wall, if the vines are destined to occupy a border rive feet or more in width. If less, place the box by so much nearer to the wall. Set a stake six inches from the wall, that is, two feet from the cane, and make an inclined plane from the box to the stake, so that the vine may rise to the surface as it reaches the stake. Only one bud should be permitted to make a shoot, the other one being rubbed off when the one that is to be retained has become strong enough to be safely tied to the stake. About the middle of June, when the new shoot will have be- come a cane two feet long, unfasten it from the stake, turn it to one side with the cane from which it springs, and secure it to a stake set temporarily for the purpose, and then deepen the place occupied by the inclined plane, making it a trench
