GRArr1HG THE GRAPE V1NE.-We have
met with many experienced persons who have
never seen the grape vine grated. The pro-
cess is so easy, that thousands who are anx-
iOus TO POSSESS the newer varieties, should
especially take care Of their old roots and in.
sert scions of the new. No clay or covering
of the grated part is necessary, beyond the
natural soil, below which the graft is TO be
inserted. Saw of your stock aud put in
your scion with two or three buds, wedge.
fashion, as in the cleft graItng Of fruit trees,
and then cover up few inches, leaving one
or two buds above ground whero the stock
is very large. and incOnvenient TO split, q
gimblet hole, so made as to br ne the two
barks together, answers. The sprouts Of the
old stock, as they spring up TO rob the graft,
must he pulled off. Crafts often bear some
fine clusters the first season Of growth, and
many more the second. In this way, the old
stocks of wild grapes removed from the woods
are very uselul with due care. We have
lately seen an old Catavba vino that was
wanted for shade forty feet of, laid down for
year ill ii had rooted well, and then was
grated with perfect success, and fruited the
