. Descriptive catalogue of Iona vines with wholesale and retail price-lists for 1864, describing and exhibiting the relative importance of all our valuable native vines. Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 33 canes C. All vestiges of H having disappeared, as A did the year before, C is now about to disappear in the same manner, two of the canes being removed by cutting through the old wood below ground at the mark, and the other being pruned also as marked, and bedded to produce the three canes D, the vine now having arrived at the wall, with a train of roots springing in all directions from the vertebra which traverses the border at fourteen or sixteen inches below the Plate No. 24. Plate No. 25. By this means the parallelogram two feet wide, extending the breadth and depth of the border, becomes accessible to all of the roots, at nearly equal distances, each portion offering some peculiar attraction, so that no part small as the fraction of an inch remains unoccupied; all of them during the whole season, with slight exceptions, being in the most favorable conditions for performing their office. As represented in the engraving, they radiate in all directions, no large ones bein^ formed to destroy the balance among the vines or among the members of the same plant. Plate Ho. 26 represents a row for the wall-trellis of a Thomery plan, with the trench open, so that the vines may not be buried too deeply during their first summer. The direction of the row is north-east and south-west, facing the south-east, which is the most favorable aspect. It is not necessary for the success of the plan that it should always bear a south-easterly aspect but it should be somewhat southerly. An eastern aspect is but little inferior to a southern, and greatly preferable to western. At C is shown the ridge of soil that is to remain during the summer and be put into the trench in the fall to remain. At D, D, D, are represented vines
