By the end of August the summer's growth vjfill be complete, and more air must be admitted in order to ripen the wood and buds. When October arrives the ventilators should be left fully open in favourable weather night and day, and by November the vines will have matured their season's growth, and should be at complete rest. Distance Apart to Plant.—Discrimina- tion is necessary in this matter, as some varieties require more space than others, and again, those intended for early forcing may be planted closer together than those for mid-season and winter supplies. Early vineries are usually planted with Black Hamburgh, Foster's Seedling, and Buck- land Sweetwater ; 3 feet apart is space enough to allow for these, and speaking generally, 4 feet will be the proper distance for the mid-season and late varieties. Second Year after Planting When considering the cultivation of the vine it is well to fix a time of year when growth may be
