The commercial propagation of Grapes is done by means of hardwood cuttings. These cuttings are taken in the winter from the trimmings of vineyards. In all ordinary cases they are made of two or three buds' length, preferably three (Fig. 963). They are cut as soon as the canes are trimmed, tied in small bundles, and these bundles are then buried half their depth in damp sand in a cool cellar. By spring the cuttings will be more or less callused. The cuttings are planted in the open on the approach of warm weather. A loose, loamy soil is selected, and it is well and deeplj' pre- pared. The cuttings are inserted until only the upper bud stands at the surface of the ground. These cut- tings are placed 6 to 8 inches apart in rows, and the rows are far enough apart to allow of horse cultivation. These cuttings may give plants large enough for sale the following fall; but it is usually preferred to let the plants grow two years before they are put upon the market. In such cases it is customary, in many of the best nurseries, to transplant at the end of the first sea- son. When wood is scarce, the canes are sometimes cut. 958. Massasoit. 957.
