With putting checks he wildly dinned
His way where all was stl
He shouted through the forest deep,
And startled all the leaves.
And warned them OF the coming sleep
When stricken summer grieves
He swept across the level field,
And scared the lowly sod;
Yet one there was who would not yield
The Lady Goldenrod.
She Haunted still her crown of gold;
A sly coquette-she swayed
And trembled at his bearing bold
But she was unafraid.
He came careening DER the land,
And sang: "Afar I've come

That ever yet was blown,
When Queen Chrysanthemum at last
Went proudly TO her throne.

At his face. in the rill.

They shyly bent. and blushed.

ing what it may, is first to grow and
shape or adjust the main body or
permanent part of the vine to the
method of training desired. After
this has been done the growth on
this, the fruitbearing part OF the
plant, should be so pruned that it will
be renewed from year to year, never
allowing the plant to overbear but
making it bear to its full capacity. II
this is done the body OF the plant
gradually becomes stronger and its
fruiting capacity increases CORE
spondingly, no wasteful plant growth
is allowed at the expense OF fruit
age, and the vines are easily kept
clear of insects and fungous diseases.
The manner of renewing the growth
on the body of the vine SO as to leave
the body permanent is illustrated.
Not only do different countries have
different methods of pruning and
training. but methods often vary iu
the several districts of the same
country. The inherent peculiarities
of the varieties themselves often re-
quire special methods to obtain the
best results. No attempt is made to
describe methods other than those
that appear most applicable and have
proved most satisfactory for the grape
species grown In various parts OF the
United States.
