The vine in the autumn, with the fruit on, will present the appearance of the above cut, and before pruning in the autumn, after the leaves are off, the following, appearance. The next pruning, which may be done in November or December, if it is desirable to lay the vines down and cover them over for the winter, or in February or March if not laid down, consists in cutting back all the young wood of the previous year's growth except such shoots as may be required to extend the horizontal arms) to within one or two good buds of the bearing vine before pruning. bearing canes on the lower wire, giving the vine the appearance of the following cut: PRUNED VINE. Each season thereafter the vines are to be treated in the same manner, cutting back every year to the lower wire or slat, extending the vine only in a horizontal direction, thinning vines in the rows by digging up every other plant if necessary; but never grow- ing any grapes above the second wire, and renewing the bearing canes by new shoots, from the stump when required. Gathering and Keeping.—Grapes for keeping to be used in their fresh state should be allowed to remain upon the vines until perfectly matured, bu"^ not much longer. Pick them when perfectly dry.
