Close the house early in the afternoon, vines and the interior of the vinery, letting the temperature reach 65 or 70 degs. Fahr. Artificial heat must not be used for at least ten days or a fortnight. The temperature at night should be low, say 55 degs. Much of the future success of the vine depends upon the buds bursting strongly and regularly, therefore young vines must not be started too early or in a high temperature. In about a fortnight the buds will swell and be ready to break into growth, but all must not be permitted to grow. We must determine which are to form the permanent fruit-bearing spurs of the . vine. These should be about 15 inches apart on either side, and the intervening ones must be gradually taken ofF; it is, however, advisable to leave the bud next to the permanent one longer in case of pre- mature loss by accident of the latter. The growths are very tender, and the least careless touch may break them oiF. Growth will soon be active, and the grower must provide artificial heat, to be used chiefly at night and to prevent the temperature falling below 57 degs. When the young shoots are 10 or 12 inches long a piece of matting should be attached to them and fastened to the trellis simply to prevent their touching the glass ; ulti- mately they must be brought down to the trellis.
