Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 35 is lost by shade. The stocks are set less than two feet apart, and sometimes less than twenty inches, so that the arms are from three feet and a half to nearly fonr feet long. When'the box-layers are used, the progress toward establishment may be so hastened, that strong canes may be growing on the principal trellis ready for making arms, the second season from planting, the border being well filled with roots, and the vines in bearing Plate No. 29. Plate No. 30. Let a trench two feet wide and twenty inches deep be made in the border, parallel with the wall, and having its nearest side four feet from it. Into the bottom of the trench put three or four inches of the soil from rich sods, and upon this place the boxes at the regular distances from each other, and so that the point where the canes rise from them will be four feet and six inches from the wall, as repre- sented in Plate No. 29. Fill in around the box and two inches above it, with the same material that was di- rected for the bottom of the trench. Set a stake F two feet from the box in the direc- tion of the wall, with the cane pruned and directed toward it obliquely ascending, to be fastened as at E. About the middle of June a cane will be grown from the upper bud, three or four feet long. The last season's cane is now to be turned from its place and a trench to be made, one foot wide, in the direction between the box and the stake, and in depth to within four inches of the bottom of the box. By the same proceeding, only placing the box one foot nearer the wall, the vine may be placed upon the trellis, the first season bearing three bunches of fruit. Eemoval of the fruit will hasten the maturity of the vine. Plate 30 represents an ordinary vi
