The soil for the Grape should be dry ; when not naturally so, should be thoroughly drained. It should be deeply worked and well manured, always bearing in mind that it is an essential point to secure a warm, sutmy exposure. The best grape vine trellis is ])robably the wire trellis. This is constructed by planting posts as far apart as you choose to have the length of your trellis, stretch the wires, four in number, about eighteen inches apart, letting them pass through stakes at proper distances from each other lo support the wire. As the wires are con- tracted by the cold, and are likely to break or sway the posts from their places, they should be loosened as cola weather proaches. To secure the best results, annual and careful pruning is essential. The following is regarded as the best method : Commenc- ing with a good strong vine, such as we furnish, permit it to grow the lirst season without pruning. In November or Decem- ber following cut back the growth, allow- ing but three or four buds to remain. The following Spring allow but two of tlic strongest buds to throw out .shoots. These, in the Fall,, will be from seven to ten feet long, and should be cut back to within four or Ave feet of the root. The next Spring the vine should be fastened to the lower part of the trellis. AVhen growth com- mences, pinch the buds so that the shoots will be from ten to twelve inches ajiart. As these grow, train them perpendicularly to the second, third and fourth Ijarsof Ihe trellis. No fruit should be allowed to set above
