It appears, after all, to be a simple process to grow the best of grapes in a "cold grapery," to those who understand it. Some two years ago, I suggested in one of my critiques, the plan of getting up these establishments by contract, and on proper principles. Since then, I am gratified to learn, by his advertisement in your paper, that Mr. Ludlow, of Yonkers, has undertaken the business, in which, I trust he has abundant patronage. I also suggested that a competent vigneron should plant the houses thus constructed, with suitable vines. Now, let me add a third requirement - which is, that in neighborhoods were these grape houses are built, competent vine dressers should establish themselves to prune and dress vines for those who need their services, in which occupation they would soon find abundant employ. Many people are deterred from building a grapery, from the fact that they cannot spare the time, and do not possess the knowledge of themselves to dress their vines, and cannot afford the expense of keeping a gardener for that purpose alone. They require only a small house and but a few vines for their family supply, and for the want of some such economical way of management, forego the luxuary these would give them.

Why should not vine dressing become a profession in America, as well as in France, Germany, or Italy?
