The soil for the Grape should be dry: when not naturally so, should be thoroughly drained. It should oe deeply worked and well manured, always bearing in mind that it is an essential point to secure a warm, sunny exposure. The best grape vine trellis is probably the wire trellis. This is constructed by planting posts as far apart as you choose to have the length of your treUis, stretch the wires, four in number, about eighteen inches apart, letting them pass through stakes at proper distances from each other to support the wire. To secure the best results, annual and careful pruning is essential. Tlie follow- ing is regarded as the best method: Com- mencing with a good stroiig vine, such as we furnish, permit it to grow the first season without pruning. In November or December cut back the growth, allow- ing but three or four buds to remain. The following Spring allow but two of the strongest buds to tlu-ow out shoots. These, in the Fall, will be from seven to ten feet long and should be cut back to within four or five feet of the root. The next Spring the vine should be fastened to the lower part of the trellis. When growth commences, p-nch the buds so that the shoots will be from ten to twelve inches apart. As these grow, train them perpendicularly to the second, third and fourth bars of the trellis. No fruit should be allowed to set above the sec- ond bar of tlie trellis. During the season when the shoots have reached the upper part of the trellis, they may be pinched to prevent further growth. After the fruit is gathered, and the vine has shed its foliage, the cane should then b
