Vines In Green-House

Training here must be the same as in the hot-house, and the points besides to be attended to are: -

"1. To train the vines to the rafters, or otherwise, so that they shall not overshadow the interior before the end of May. 2. To empty the green-house of all green-house plants after that period, and to take every possible pains to get the wood ripe; you cannot have grapes without well-ripened wood. If vines are very late in growing, they will require fire-heat in autumn, in order to ripen their wood, in many seasons. Vines and green-house plants do not agree very well; but under such a system they may be kept from quarrelling much." - Gard. Chron.
