Archive image from page 42 of Descriptive catalogue of the Jewell. Descriptive catalogue of the Jewell Nursery Co . descriptivecatal1894jewe Year: 1894 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 23 WINTER PHLOXECXIOKJ. Press the cane to the ground and cover with four or five inches of soil, and before cold weather sets in cover with a mulch of straw or coarse manure. XRAIP«I1»G A>IJ PRUNING. The following spring a stake six feet long should be set close to each vine. Permit only one bud to grow, and that the strongest. Keep all the buds rubbed off while small. Tie this growing caneto the stake and when it reaches the top pinch off the end. The laterals or branches should also be pinched off when they have reached the second leaf. The second fall cut off all of the laterals up to the cane and cut the cane back to four feet. The vine may now be buried as for the previous fall. It will be found convenient to take out a little earth close to the vine on the side toward which it is to be bent. The following or third spring a trellis should be built. Set posts twelve feet apart, on which fasten four wires, using No. 12 galvanized iron, the lowest one ten inches from the ground and those above ten inches apart. They should be fastened with staples so as to allow the wires free play. One end should be fastened securely. The other end post should have holes bored, through which to pass the wire, fastening the wire to a roller so that the wire can be tightened by turning the roller, which should be made on the principle of a windlass. When the wire is tight secure the roller from turning by a pin in the post.
