The Concord is one of th strongest and most productive of Grapes. Twelve to 15 lbs. is a fair crop for a mature vine; 20 lbs. is a heavy crop; ) lbs. is a very heavy crop. An average cluster of Concord will weigh H-M lb. The vine may be expected to carry from30 to60clusters; and the annual pruning will leave from 15 to 30 buds. Since the bearing wood springs from new canes, it follows that the fruit of the Grape is each year borne farther from the main trunk of the vine.

On arbors it is best to carry one arm or trunk from each root to the top of the frame- work. Each year the lateral canes are cut back to spurs of two or three buds. The pruning of glasshouse Grapes is discussed under Grapes under Glass. The current systems of pruning renew to a head—or to the main trunk—each year. The trunk of the vine is carried up to the desired height—to one of the wires of the trellis —and one or more canes are taken out from Its top each year The obiect is to keep the bearing wood near the mam trunk and to obviate the use of spurs Th
