PEUNING. 123 principal systems, the re- newal, or the spur system; and it is necessary at this stage, in order to avoid future perplexity, that some one method should be chosen and afterwards adhered to. SPUR PRUNING, is most convenient where the vine is trained to a high building or lofty trel- lis. The main stem a. b. is retained permanently, and a shoot allowed to grow from each side of it at every 15 or 18 inches a of its length, as /. /. c. c. third snninjer. The points where these issue are the spurs, and every summer a strong cane must be en- couraged from each spur to fruit next year in place of the old canes c. c. f. f. which liaving been stopped and checked during summer, must be cut back to the spur in fall or early spring. (Nov. or Feb.) Renewal Training, is best for foreign grapes, and is most con- venient of management, being most within reach; it usually yields the largest fruit, which however, being generally less exposed to full sunlight, is some- times deficient in flavor. To throw a young vine, as a. h. into this mode of growth, cut it off close above the arms /. /. and from these, at 18 to 30 inches apart, canes should be suffered to grow perpendicularly. These canes having borne fruit, must be cut away, and their places filled next year by substitutes trained up between them, whicli must also, in their turn, give place to others. If preferred, instead of renewing the canes, each one ( o. o. a. ) may be spur pruned, as above : they should then stand about three feet apart. This is perhaps the most successful and convenient mode. Pruning is more essential to the fruitfulness of the vine than of 0. renewal training on low Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance
