There are two different methods practice
in this country, after many iaborious expert
merits, valuable time and cost
The FIRST plan is the out Of door propAga
ton of the reader aud more willing kinds
For these procure we'll ripened wood ~ late
as possible in the autumn before the severe
frosts set in; cut it into single eyes and plant
them without delay in rows on q bed cross
ways in the open ground [rather exposed than
shelteredl, which is FIVE or six feet vide, and
in length according to the quantity of vine
eyes, and prepared with the best possible soil
as generally used for that purpose. After
planting them, 1 give = cover of two inches
Of half we'll seasoned loam and half coarse
sand well mixed, and do not water them, but
let the soil be tolersbly damp in good working
order After two weeks planting or more,
if the weather permits, it not being wet. !
cover the bed three feet with half decay-d
horse manure. mixed with halt fallen leaves,
and lastly line the whole bed three feet with.
the same material, no frost or moisture hsing
able to penetrate-not even 20 degrees below
zero.
In the beginning of April l remove the
lining and covering, and place over the bed
frames with sashes. and in very short time
the eyes make their appearance; by degrees
give air when the weather requires it. As
the plants grow raise the frames, and ulti
mately remove sashes and frames altogether.
and leave them to the open air without dis
turbing or trAnsplanting.
The more obstinate kinds / raise in door,
with or without bottom heat, in sand beds
only, three or four inches deep; the eyes be-
ing covered half an inch. | have now two
beds in full operation--one cold. one warm |;
the cold bed is arranged on the front plssform
of q green house, 100 feet long; the warm
bed is in half lean to propaga,ing house also
100 feet long, now filled with . second crop.
Of these latter, likewise procure the wood
and cut it up IS above, but inatead Of plant
ing the eyes at once in the beds, for two
months place them in barrels between layers
of moist sand. About the middle OF Febru-
airy plant them on these beds n.doors, and
as soon as struck, plant them IN well pre-
pared pits and treat them ~ the out Of door
