Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 16 THE VALUE OF PLANTS ACCORDING TO THE METHOD OF PRODUCTION. Betting the stock so low that opportunity will be afforded for roots to form at the proper depth from the new vine. The best course of proceeding is to set the vines at least one foot further from the place which the stock is to occupy than would be done if vines on their own roots were used, and then, by laying one year more, good vines on their own roots will be obtained. The stocks have also a strong disposition to throw off the new vine, and are constantly throwing up shoots of their own, which must be suppressed soon after their appearance, or they will take all of the ac- tion, and leave the new vine to die. This? not unfrequently occurs; and those who do not understand the case, by leaving the new shoots, Which are the strongest, have found their vines, at the time for fruit- ing, all of the kind used for stocks. This has occurred in numerous instances. Those who are watchful have no difficulty in detecting the shoots of other vines, in case of the Delaware; but when the similarity is great, as between Union Village and Isabella, it is difficult for any one to see which should be suppressed, without exr ruination under the surface, which is very difficult. Very strong vines at one year old are easily made by grafting; but besides the objection named, is that of imperfect growth, unless treated as just mentioned ; the union being so imperfect that the roots of the stocks are not induced to form the small, active fibers. The largest specimens are often produced by young, grafted vines, the imperfect union having the same effect as the annular incision. Plate No. 16 represents a grafted vine, as they ordinarily appear, at three years old, when dependent
