Viticulture United States; Grape industry United States; Climbing plants Catalogs. 50 more than four feet in bight, where it is desirable to make the most of shelter or early ripening of the fruit. See Plate No. 55. Both canes of Plate No. 46 will be cut at c c, and at the end of the season will pro- duce the appearance shown in Plate No. 47. These arms arc supposed to be a little less than two feet in length, and if the vines are planted four feet apart, which for Delaware is a good distance, the system may be considered fully established, but the vines will not be in full bearing until all or a part of the spurs are furnished with two shoots each. To grow two canes or double canes, at pruning make two-bud spurs, and of course for one shoot cut to one bud. If the vines are planted more than four feet apart, a longer time will be required to establish the system and bring them into full bearing; for not more than two feet of arm can be produced in one season and remain perma- nently productive. The arms are lengthened by laying down the end canes, c c, in a horizontal position, and cutting to the desired length always, not to exceed two feet at each end, in one season. If this plan of two arms is adopted, no long canes need be taken, but while the vines are young and very vigorous, more than three or four leaves must be made above the upper bunch before "stopping," or the next season's fruit will appear in autumn of the current year. It must be borne in mind also that the fruit will not set well on young vines if the stopping is too early or too severe; for too much energy of growth tends so strongly to wood that the blossoms become Plate No. 48. Plate No. 48 represents the plan which has just been described, before aDy shoots have pushed forth. By cutting at a, the system of sp
