Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 24 TO GROW ARMS OR SHOOTS DIRECTLY OPPOSITE. On" page 20, Plate Xo. 1, Fig. A, may be seen a plan for taking arms to furnish a rhomery plan ; hut it is defective, inasmuch as it does not have them directly oppo- site each other, except when the base buds are taken to produce the shoots shown by the dotted lines X and X. If they are to be taken from the same cane at b or c or d or c, as shown in the engraving, one arm will be three or four inches above the other. We will suppose we are to operate at e, and instead of taking the dotted arms X X and X X, we take them directly opposite each other. To do this, we will em- ploy one year more of time, and instead of cutting off the upright cane at e, as shown by the cut-off mark above the upper arm, X X, we will cut it off between the dotted arms, throwing away the upper one and training the one at the right in an upright position, to the end of the season. At the time for pruning, cut this upright shoot of the last season (which is called a cane now) immediately above the second well-developed bud. At the base, close to its origin from the main upright, will be seen two much smaller buds, called "base" and " contra-base" buds, which are so nearly opposite that they may be called so, as they will not vary from that more than the small fraction of the tenth of an inch. These buds are to form the opposite arms, and to enable them to do it, the two buds above, which were reserved at pruning, must be rubbed off as soon as they have pushed forth to the length of an inch, or less. This will cause the two base buds to push forth, which are to be trained in an upward direction, and these will form arms directly opposite, to be laid down the next season, and
