A WonD ABOUT GRArEs-Let our
readers not forget that this season OF the
year is time when the grape is particularly
thankful for alittlc attention in the way Of
cutting out its supcrabundant punches, or in
pinching ta,k or thinning out some Of It's
wayward sprouts. In many eases three
bupches viii have far1licl. flpa 1 side shoot, /,
battwo and vcryoftSn ono is enough to be,
permitted to remain. In regard to thinning
branches people are 50 apt TO run into ca
tremes, and when ono says Summer prune,
though but one word, they Ga to tearing off
the leaves without mercy, frequently to the
utter ruination of tho vine. But it is only;
where they crowd one another closely that
any should be taken ont altogether. An
other mistake people often make in trim
ming, if they have to choose between two
shoots, is to take the weaker one away.
This Is right in Winter. pruning; bnt in
Summer the reverse of this should be the
rule. The effnrt now is to e1ualize the
growth all over the plant, and if the stronger
ones arc checked, more force is impaired to
the weaker ono.
Sometimes ,ne may not wish to take outa
vigorous shoot entirely in this case merely
pinching off the tender growing part will
give sufficient check.
As general rule, the strongest and most
vigorous shoots arc at the top Of the trellis;
and if one does not care to take time to- un-
derstand the difference between strong and
a weak shoot, We might tsay he would not go
far wrong ifhe made regular practice Of
pinching back all the shoots at the top Of the
trellis and letting al the lower weak on s
