GLASS-HOUSE PRACTICE M There are many systems of train-ing vines in graperies. In fact,nearly every gardener has a modeor a method of his own, which heinsists is better than all others;and this is proof that many systemsare equally good. In general, thevine is trained to one arm, whichextends from the ground to thetop of the house. From the sidesof this arm, spurs are taken out;and these spurs are cut back each 328.

Some growersprefer to have longer spurs, as in Fig. 329. It. 329. Long-spur pruning. is generally desired to have an alternation of fruit-bearing on these spurs. This is done by pinch-ing the flower clusters from some of the shoots,or by cutting to a strong or fruit-bearing budon one spur, and to a weak or barren bud at 530 VINIFERA GRAPE TRAINING the very base of the other. The weak bud gives only a shoot; but the uext year it is cut to a strong bud and theneighboring spur is cutto a weak one. The vine in Fig. 329has spurs in pairs. Theone on the left hasalready been cut sixtimes. The pruning ofthis vine is explainedin Fig. 330. The formerprunings are marked bythe letters. A more de-tailed view of an oldspur is given in It is generally best toprune the vines as soonas the fruit is off, there-by allowing the vinesto be protected during the winter, and destroying the lodging places of insects and fungi.
