A practical treatise on the culture and treatment of the grape vine: embracing its history, with directions for its treatment, in the United States of America, in the open air, and under glass structures, with and without artificial heat . strong-est of these shoots, cut out the other; this will be about thefirst of July; continue to secure the shoot to the trellis, fromtime to time, as it grows, pruning in the laterals, to one eye. In November, cut the vine down again, to two eyes. The second year, train exactly in the same manner, and ifany fruit appear, take it off. Early in November, cut the vine down to three eyes, thus : The third year, train up the three shoots, and rub out allothers ; in July, prune out the weakest one ; stop all lateralsas before; continue to train the other two carefully, duringthe season. About the first of September, pinch off the endsof the shoots. In November, cut back the two shoots to seven buds each,and prune out, carefully, all the laterals, close to the buds. The fourth year, early in February, cut out of each shoot,the first, second, fourth, fifth, and sixth buds ; then bend the THE CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 191 two shoots carefully down, and secure them in a horizontalposition, thus:—. Train the shoots that push from the eyes, three and seven, inthe manner indicated by the dotted lines, and if more fruitshows than it is proper for the vine to bear, cut it off afterthe berries have set; the same treatment of the vine is to bepursued, during the season, as last year. In September, stop the top of the shoots. In October, as soon as the fruit is gathered, cut back thefirst and third shoots, to as many buds as may be deemed ne-cessary to produce the quantity of fruit which the vine canmuture, the next year, and the second and fourth shoots,to the lowermost bud, each; cut out the lateral shoots closeto the buds. The fifth year, train the two canes in the manner repre-sented on the next page ; and the two shoots, which will pushfrom the
