transplanting tbey yield fruit in climates where tbe winters are se vere the season for transplanting the io is ihe latter part of march or the begining of april but in more temperate latitudes the end of october is to be preferred drills or furrowsof eighteen inches widfr and eighteen deep must first be prepared aod if they be made in tbe conrse ofth preceding summer or autumn would be wmwifcettertfortfre earth thus hvigp 0 mained exposed to the air would be more 0 favourable to the plant the roost econo- 0 mical aod expeditious way of performing this operation is by using a plough and go- ine with it throe or four times over th same furrow after which the ground may be dug out with a spade to the depth re quired if tbe plantation is but small or the expense no consideration tbe best me thod is to dig ibe gronnd deep with tb pade aud turn it np in all directions inlands which are very sandy and light the drills must bo made to the depth ofsiir teen or eighteen inches and the drier tbe soil the deeper they ought to be lb rich oils fifteen inches is sufficient let the drills be run in a direct straight line from north to south that the plants may receive rhe rays of the sun on all sides plant the roots from four to six feetanart according to the quality of thesoil thericher it is the farther apart the plants should be jf yn use horses for ploughing the room ought to be at least six or seven feet distant from one another and eight or nine if oxes are used so that your ground may be used without iojuriog any of tbe plants final ly if the spade only is to be used ihe plant- may be placed five or six feet apart every way care must be taken likewise not to place the plants of one row immediately opposite those of the next row that tbey may not be in tbe way of one another in planting the vine lay down six inches of tho plant flatj at the bottom of the drill leaning the upper part of it against tbe side so as to form the figure of an angle when in this position placing one foot on thrv roots to press them flat with the bottom or the trench you cover them with three or four inches of good earth well pulverised ofiwo or three hand foils of moistened ash es you then press the clay or ashes cjosely with your feet aud fill up the drill so m only to leave two eyes of the plem un covered the drills when planting must be free from water if any from preceding
