GRAPES 



The grapes are spread on large flat trays placed on the 

 ground between the rows, and allowed to dry in the sun. 

 Some of the raisins are packed with the seeds in them, 

 while others are taken to a seeding mill where the seeds 

 are taken out by machinery and the seeded raisins are 

 then put in packages to be sold. 



GRAPE CULTUR 



A large amount of grape juice is now put up in bottles, 

 so it will keep in the unfermented state. It is a re- 

 freshing drink. 



Training the vines. In the eastern part of the 

 United States the vines are supported by stakes or by 

 trellises of boards or wire. In the West in most of the 

 vineyards a strong stumpy trunk of the vine is obtained 

 by pruning, and the fruiting branches are supported 

 by this trunk.
