In pruning, at the fall of the leaf, the long cane must be taken entirely away, and replaced by the cane that bore the fruit on the lower part; the spurs on this must be cut out, as on the cane last year, and the new cane brought up this year must be cut back to the middle of the rafters; a spur must be left below to lead up a new cane from next year.

In pruning, at the fall of the leaf, the long cane must be taken entirely away, and replaced by the cane that bore the fruit on the lower part; the spurs on this must be cut out, as on the cane last year, and the new cane brought up this year must be cut back to the middle of the rafters; a spur must be left below to lead up a new cane from next year. By this system, you have the whole length of rafters fruited by two canes, and a third one is to be growing for the next year, to supply the place of the one which is to be cut out at the fall pruning. This is unquestionably the best system of pruning, on the long cane principle, and it is explained here by a representation of the vine in the successive years.
