Bright's Single Stem, Dwarf, and Renewal System of Grape-Culture, adapted to the Vineyard, the Grapery, and the Fruiting of Vines in Pots, on Trellises, Arbors, etc. - We have read Mr. Bright's book with peculiar interest, as setting forth, on the subject of "inside borders' a principle which we have thoroughly tested for many years, and know to be sound. We have already so fully endorsed it elsewhere, that it would seem to be unnecessary to say any thing further here. We have experienced no small difficulty in getting a good hollow wall built, and are therefore inclined to regard Mr. Bright's detachment an improvement, since it secures the border from external influences under all circumstances. In his article in our present number, Mr. Bright has supplied what is a defect in his book, viz., an abundant supply of water in tanks which shall be entirely under control. Another new feature in Mr. Bright's work is the "single stem renewal system." This, to us, is entirely new, and is enforced with so many good arguments, that we bespeak for it a fair and thorough trial. By confining the energies of the vine to the production of one thing at a time, we should naturally expect to obtain that thing in perfection, whether it be wood or fruit; and this is what Mr. Bright proposes to do.

There is one particular, however, in which our practice would differ from Mr. Bright's. We do not like vines from layers, and we should therefore prepare plants from eyes or cuttings, and with these replace the old vines as circumstances should demand. Before replacing any vines, however, we should cut the old ones down to within a foot of the ground, and rely upon forcing a dormant bud; and we should expect to succeed in so doing in a large proportion of cases, and get a good growth. If wo failed to do this in a satisfactory manner, we should then resort to replanting. But this is a matter which does not detract from the merit of Mr. Bright's " single stem renewal system," the great point which he here makes being the production of more and better grapes than can be obtained by any of the systems now in use. We hope that this renewal system, whether applied to graperies or vineyards, and also the inside borders for graperies, will meet with a fair and impartial trial.
