HARDY GRAPES

 one year vines and 75c. per 100 for two year vines. Thousand rates of any upon application. 



The limits of a catalogue do not permit more than brief mention of modes of cultivation 

 of the grape. I 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 it 

 with 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.
