Takinfr off Leaves in the Fall—' It is an axiom of Mr. Knight, that all vegetables which require to be left in a state of inactivity during winter, vegetate sooner in the spring, if that state of inac- tivity is brought on in autumn. Salisbury cites a case which strongly verifies this rule in regard to the grape. A vine of the Munier, in Yorkshire, bore 1000 to 2000 bunches of fruit annually, not twenty of which were ripened in a season, under ordinary management. The vine was pruned and stripped of its leaves on the 20th of September, seven years in succession, after which it ripened half a crop in ordinary, and a whole crop in warm weather.' Fig. 1. The first year you have the cutting only, with one bud at the surface of the ground and two below.—The top is cut sloping from the bud, that water may not run upon the bud and in- jure it.
