Nurseries (Horticulture) New York (State) Fredonia Catalogs; Nursery stock New York (State) Fredonia Catalogs; Fruit Seedlings Catalogs; Grapes Seedlings Catalogs. J. The letters a a a show where the old canes are cut off. The strongest canes growing from these spurs should be tied to the trellis during the summer, and all weak and useless shoots rubbed off. Suckers starting below the crown or from old wood do not make good bearing canes and should not be used. ~^^ms£r The Horizontal Arm System is also largely used, and is thus described. When the vine is set out it should be cut back to two or three eyes, as in Fig. 2. But one cane should be allowed to grow the first season; this may be tied to a stake or allowed to run on the ground. In the fall it should be cut back to 3 feet in length, as in Fig. 3. In the spring tie the top of this cane to the lower wire of the trellis, allowing only the two upper buds to grow and rubbing off all other eyes that start. Then two canes may be allowed to run on the lower wire, or tied to the upper wires if they have been put on the posts. In the fall cut these arms back to about 3 feet each, tying them the following spring to the lower wire, as in Fig. 4. When the shoots get well started in the spring, rub off all on the 4 1 under side and save only three of the upper ones on each arm, leaving them 10 to 12 -~M~-^B^^-S^-â-^^.^âââ inches apart. As these grow, train the two 1 end shoots to the lower wire to complete the Jf arms, and let the others grow over the wires, as in Fig. 5. In the fall cut these canes back at the cross-marks in Fig. 5. The vine is now properly formed and the method of pruning is very simple and easy, being the same year after year. If the vines have not made a strong growth the ,3S3â^ first year they should be cut back and treated the second year the same as the first. The second year, no fruit should re- main on the vines. The third year, strong vines
