The third year two of the most conveni-ent buds were selected for fruiting spursand one at the end for extension of two fruit spurs were allowed to bearone bunch each and were trained upwardon wire or string. At the end of third yearthe arms on all vines were complete andready for bearing as I had intended thateach vine should carry eight feet of bearingwood, and about five spurs on each will give on an ordinary prolific.

Thespecific gravity of the vapor is rather morethan 2}{ times that of atmospheric air, andthe vapor not only readily collects near thebottom of any space in which it is produced,but flows along almost like a fluid, and thevapor may thus reach a fire and be inflamedat some distance from source of production. One of the most striking characteristicsof this vapor is the extremely low temper-ature, at which, when mixed with air, ittakes fii-e. According to experiments, thistemperature is about 415 deg. F. (someauthorities give it considerably lower).The smallest spark from iron, a fire, a cin-der, after it has lost all appearance of fire,an even moderately heated stove, etc., arehot enough to set it on fire.
