THE GRAPE 213 
supply of water, available at all times. In 
locating the grapery, avoid low-lying situations, 
for the grape, although requiring an abundance 
of water, must have good drainage. In case 
you are compelled to locate your grapery in a 
low spot, raise the border about four feet and the 
rest of the grapery correspondingly. 
The grapery border should be well enriched, 
and may be prepared in the following manner: 
first, remove the earth to the depth of four feet. 
In very wet places concrete the bottom and 
arrange to carry off the water through tile drain 
pipes. Ordinarily, a foot of broken bricks, 
bones, or similar rough material will suffice. 
Next, fill the border with chopped sod from an 
old pasture lot, or some other good fibrous loam; 
to every five parts of loam add one part of good 
manure, and to every five loads of loam, one 
bag of coarse, crushed bone. Use the coarser 
grade of material in preference to bone meal 
which is too fine and too rapidly assimilated. 
In heavy, sticky soils, add one bag of lime for 
every bag of bone used. It is to be understood, 
of course, that the border should be prepared 
both inside and outside the house. An outside 
border is a strip of ground adjoining the grapery, 
prepared in the same way as the interior border:
