In this case single eyes ?.re used with half an inch of wood above and one or two inches below each bud. These are planted in pots and placed in borders immediately over the flues or hot water pipes so as to receive bottom heat, or sometimes the border is filled with sand and they are planted in this without using pots. When they reach the height of two or three inches they are trans- planted into three-inch pots and from these to the open ground. By the use of the patent transplanting boxes (see page 3 of cover), these operations are greatly facilitated and eighteen or twenty vines are planted as quickly as one can be from a crock. G-reeaa.

Slips taken from vines that have made their growth under glass succeed the best; two joints of the cane are taken, cutting immediately below the lower bud and J inch above the upper bud leaving a leaf attached to the latter. These are then placed closely in the propagating beds, the glass shaded and the atmos- phere kept moist until they have rooted Green wood Grape cutting. and commenced growth.
