Plant q Grape Vine.

Every person who has the control OF :
square rod Of ground whereon plants may
grow, can scarcely do better than to set .
grape vine Of the Concord, Isabella or Diana
varieties. The first COS, is ,rifiiug, and the
aiter-care OF them, more OF pleasure thar
task. The grape is no, only palaiable and
nutritious for those who are well, but is er.
ceedingly grateful 10 the sick, giving tone
TO the digestive organs, and healthy action
10 the whole alimeniary canal.
Before setting the root, throw out the
earth TO The depth OF two or three feet and
fill up ten inches with coarse manure Of any
sort, old bones, oyster shells, &C., and then
throw in rich loan into this rake few
quarts Of house ashes, then fill up with loan
and compos,ed manure, and the soil is ready
for the root.
After the plan, is set, scatter on straw ma
nure, or leaves, and through the summer
occasionally throw upon this The contents oI
the tubs on washing days. A. J. Downing,
late editor Of the Hor,icul,uris,. says al
have seen the Isabella grape produce 5000
fine clusters Of well-ripened fruit in a sea-
son, by the liberal use Of soapsuds from
the weekly wash"
The effect OF soap-suds ou other plants is
surprising. A cyprus vine which had re-
NAMED stationary for fortnight, when about
two inches high, Immediately commenced
growing after good watering with soap
suds, and grew about six inches the frs, five
days.
With little care this may all be vel
done by any one who has never attempted !
before. Under this ,rea,men, in the course
OF three or four years you will be amply re-
paid by mos, beautiful crop Of luscious
grapes, and vine greatly ornamental ,c
