The capacity of the boxes is greater than that of the largest pots in which vines are grown for fruiting, and they are filled with soil, specially prepared to induce the formation of fibrous, fruit- bearing roots, which is also further favored by the position given to the layer. These plants are not only better in consequence of these atten- tions, which can not be given to other layers, besides the advantage of not being checked by transplanting. These will be more than two years in advance of an extra single-eye plant like Plate No. 9. By ad- ditional care and expense, vines from single-eyes, more advanced to- ward productiveness than the one shown at No. 9, may be grown in pots, as represented by Plate No. 13; but when taken from the pots, and the soil shaken from them, one year of time is lost by transplant- ing. By sending them in the pots this is saved, and the bearing is hastened. As these require special management to secure their full advantages, directions for the purpose will accompany the plants. Plate No. IS. roots as if grown in a pot, but is larger, and if properly treated by root-pruning and planting, will bear very early and abundantly. If suffered to remain unil two or three years old before transplanting and root-pruning, it will present the appearance shown in Plate No. 15, the fiber having nearly or quite left the parts where it should be, and gone to the extremities of the roots, where it will be all cut off at root- pruning, and will only be replaced at the ends where the cuts are made, and not along the sides of the
