Williams, of Pitmaston, gives full directions for ringing the grape vine. He tells the result, in these words : " I invariably found that the fruit not only ripened earlier, but that the ber- ries were considerably larger tha^n usual, and more highly flavored." — Editor of the Cottage Garden&)\'] CAEE OF OLD VINES. 241 CHAPTEE XIY. CAKE OF OLD VINE There are scattered througli the country numerous old vines of large growth and great age, which have been trained upon trellises, through trees, ag...ainst the sides of houses and on arbors, without much :'kill or attention. These well deserve good culture, and the owners would gladly bestow it if they knew how. For their benefit, a few hints in this direction may not be out of place. Such vines have in general either been left entirely to themselves, or trained wholly on the long-spur system, no new wood except these spurs being kept from last year's growth to supply the wants of next year, and the strength has thus been thrown to the ends of the stems, leaving them barren for a great distance from their base.
