Culture of the grape cultureofgrape00stro Year: 1866 ( 172 CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. tage of this position, there will still be a necessity of checking, but to a much less extent, and to a raore Fig. 31. effectual purpose, than with upright branches. By this mode, the short-spur system of pruning becomes very easy and practicable. As soon as the fruit is gathered, and the foliage killed, the vines are to be fall-pruned. On all horizontal branches, the bud a (fig. 31) will be a plump, fruit-bearing eye: the branch may therefore be cut just above the bud a. It is extremely desirable that the same bud a (fig. 30) may be the fruiting-eye for upright shoots; but, in case it is too weak, the cut is made above the eye b. As all subsequent years are a repetition of this third year, with the single change in fall-pruning, we conclude this chapter with a description of the different modes of fall-pruning.
