In tho cast) of Muscats, tlic li(!ai ahould bo 10° greater both night and day. Lessen the amount of moisture while the viHcs anj in bloom, and if the vines are occasionally jarred at this time, so as to liU the housi! with the ])oll(!n, the ellect will be beneficial. Jn this way a good s(it of fruit will be s(!cured, even on the Muscat vines. An soon as the fruit is set, the heat should bo gradually allowed to decrease to G5° at night, rising to 70' or 80° by day with fins h«at, and uj) to 85° or 00° with the sun. Also, as soon as the fruit is set, tho house should be again supplied with moisture, and the vines well syringed daily. f'here will doubtless be n)ore fruit set tlian the vinos can bo allovred tcj b(.'ar. The h(!st practice; is to take off all tho bunches on a shoot l)ut one, and stoj) the lateral on wliich it grows two leave* or joints beyond the bunch, ami pinch in all sub-laterals, (that is, laterals growing out of the lateral t-lioot), at tho first joint, and to rc-pinch these as often as they -start again without leaving any additional joint. There will probably bo still too many bunches of Grap(;s remaining, and these should bo re- duced to eight or ten bunches for each vine, always leaving the largest and best. The leading shoot from tho main cano should not be allowed to bear any fruit. The berri(!S also will require thinning out. In tho caso of tho frfio-setting varieties, this should bo done as early as pos- sible after the Grapes are sot; in tho Muscats it is better to wait until it can ]}o seen whicli of the berries are properl/ sot and taking the lead.
