The limits of a catalogue do not permit more than brief mention oi modes of cultivation of the grape. TTe 

 refer the reader to the excellent works of Fuller and Husmann for full details. Plant in rows six feet apart and 

 eight feet apart in the row. Dig holes sufficiently large to amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use only 

 fine surface soil in filling in. mixing with it a little ground bone. Cut back one year vines to two eyes, placing 

 the lower one beneath the surface: cut back two year vines to three or four eyes, putting two or three eyes below 

 the surface. Spread the roots out, after trimming them: place the stock of the vine at one side of the hole and 

 fill up with soil pressing down firmly with the feet. Set a stake by the side of the stock, to which the vine should 

 be kept tied, which will be all the support needed for two years. 'Keep old wood trimmed off. growing fruit on 

 new canes. Any manner of pruning that will admit the sun and air to the fruit will insure a crop.
