The most simple of all is a box of any depth from six to twelve inches, which can be made very close. If only six inche3 deep, it will admit but one layer of bunches, to be laid only so near each other as just to touch without pressure, or better, with a slight space between them. If the box is nine or ten Inches deep, it will admit two layers, but the upper one must be separ- ated from the lower by a bed of slats let down half the depth of the box. A box two feet and a half long, eighteen inches wide, and ten inches deep, will accommodate seTenty-five or one hundred pounds. The bed for the upper layer may be conveniently made of ordinary laths, separated one fourth of an inch, or less, from each other. The grapes may be supposed to be gathered in the fore-part of a dry day in October, after the dew is thoroughly dried from them. Every green, wormy, or imperfect berry should be carefully removed by cutting with a sharp-pointed scissors through the pedicels, as is done to pre- pare them for market, being careful to handle them so as not to re- move the bloom. That is a wax covering for their protection, and is needful before and after Plate No. 4. After the bunches are all prepared, lay them carefully into the box, on paper, and when the box is filled, set it into the cool room, to re- main all day without the cover. At evening, put the cover so that it will, at the front edge, be raised up about one inch. Let the cover re- main in this position until the cool weather of November is estab- lished, when it is to be fastened down closely, to remain until opened for examination, or to take out the grape3 for use.
