Other Systems of Pruning.—The fan renewal sys- tem adopted in parts of the Union is much like the diagonal-training plan of the prairie States, except that in this system the canes are trained in both directions on the wire, as shown in Fig. 75.

It is useful in home grounds where space is limited, where a single row can be started in a sunny situation. It is- really the laying-down plan (232) two stories in height. The vines are planted eight feet apart and every alternate one is run up to the top wires, while the intermediate vines fruit on the lower frellis. In this double-decked plan the spurs will soon get too high if every shoot that starts from the lower side of.
