Pruning Grape Nlnes.

Many experiments have been made
under different conditions to show the
advantages Of pruning the grape where
proper medium is observed between too
light pruning and excessive cutting

al the bearing shoots, the inista X en-

TO six buds, one portion not being

to three feet long. The fruit suisse
quently reached its full size. The
grapes which were pruned to one and
