It will be found convenient to take out a little earth close to the vine on the side toward which it is to be bent. The following or third spring a trellis should be built. Set posts twelve feet apart, on which fasten four wires, using No. 12 galvanized iron, the lowest one ten inches from the ground and those above ten inches apart. They should be fastened with staples so as to allow the wires free play. One end should be fastened securely. The other end post should have holes bored, through which to pass the wire, fastening the wire to a roller so that the wire can be tightened by turning the roller, which should be made on the principle of a windlass. When the wire is tight secure the roller from turning by a pin in the Along the lower wire of the trellis the vine should be tied. Two shoots will grow from nearly every bud. Thin these out leaving the strongest ones at a distance of ten inches apart, when they have reached the top wire pinch off the end. Also keep the laterals pinched back, leaving one new leaf at each pinching. In pruning the third fall select the strongest cane near the extremity of the vine that was tied in the spring to the lower wire, and cut it off at a length to reach the next vine on the trellis. This cane must be tied to the lower wire the next spring and will complete the permanent vine. In pruning do not cut within an inch of the bud. Bury as directed and subsequent treatment will be same as previously described. The fourth fall the vine will consist of a main arm extending along the lower wire to the next vine with spurs of two buds each ten inches Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jewell Nurse
