zy 1st. The young vines grow thereby much larger and finer,

2dl1y. There is no danger of their branches being stunted and growing bushy, which 1s an ugly Sight when they are full: leaved.

Sdly. The branches of the vines are less in danger of being injured, and look handsomer: it is only necessary to behold those vineyards where the plants Stand so close as almost to touch each other, 50 that you cannot pass through the rows | je without rubbing againzt them, when the young Shoots are| made, and as they are very tender, without breaking them; this occasions a very considerable loss, for when these Shoots are broken off, they are entirely lost, and of course the fruit they would in all probability have borne.

athly. If you place your plants at a Smaller distance than that I have above mentioned, you will find that the culture of the vineyard will be much more difficult and troublesome; in digging between the rows the workmen tear their cloaths, Scratch their arms, and in fact, work in continual torture; j whereas at the distänce I have recommended, all this trouble H and loss is avoided.

öthily. It is very evident that the produce will be much more considerable, and particularly the wine will be better; for every day's experience confirms it to us, that in the vine- | yards where the plants Stand too elose together, the grapes al- most always rot before they attain a perfect maturity. What Is to be done in this extremity? The grapes must be gathered; and what are they? Either grapes not half ripe on account oft the Shade the plants cast, or rotten from the Same' cause. And what Sort of wine is produced from these grapes? It is heavy, raw, and very improper for Keeping; whereas in vine- yards where the plants Stand at the distance I have already recommended, the grapes attain a perfect maturity, grow much larger, and are not rotten before they are ripe; and the zun darting on them all his genial beams, they produce an excellent wine.“
