Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. Plate No. 1. admits of a little ventilation when needed, but where no mold or fungi are permitted at any season, is all that can be desired. If the cellar is used for general storage of fruit, the grapes will be perfectly accom- modated in just such circumstances as will be best for the apples, but more nicety is required for the grapes, in consequence of their berries being smaller. The degree of excessive ventilation that would cause some shriveling of apples, would have more effect upon the grapes. If the apples are kept perfectly, the grapes will be aiso. Grapes must Plate No. 2. not, for very late keeping, be piled upon each other, and when a quan- tity is to be stored, the easiest method is by suspending them just fai enough apart to prevent touching each other.
