Being a species of very rapid growth they are verv desirable for planting where shade is desired quickly.

They have large and glossy foliage and make a dense shade. first season after prnnina Graoe Vines PLANTING-. Cut back a11 young wood except two " buds, allowing one of these to grow up. -™- — „-__,„.___ SECOND SEASON. If the cane has made a growth of 4 feet or over the first season, cut down to within 2 feet of the ground, allowing no more than four or five of the upper buds to grow ; all lower ones should be rubbed off during May. In case the vine has made but a feeble growth, it should be cut down again to two buds and treated same as the first season. THIRD SEASON. If the vine has made a strong and healthy growth the two previous years, two or three of the strongest canes should be left to produce fruit. These canes should be left about 2 feet long, starting at the first wire or a little below. In case the growth from the previous year is light, leave only two canes near the first wire about 12 inches long, all other suckers to be cut off. After the third year good judgment should be used not to overtax the vine. Usually from 8 to 10 feet of young bearing wood evenly proportioned throughout the vine, either as canes or spurs, is about the right quantity of bearing wood to be left on a good healthy vine. One or two spurs three buds long should always be left near the first wire to pro- duce new canes for the coming season. I
