GRAPES, 



Rayner's grapevines have proven their su- jjj 

 periority to many commercial growers ; also Ijj 

 to the many thousands who have purchased 

 them in past years for home gardens. Grown 

 right here on our nurseries in the best type 

 of selected soil, properly cultivated and 

 sprayed, with just the correct amount of 

 plant food added throughout the growing 

 season to develop large, healthy wood and 

 long fibrous roots, these vines are packed 

 with vitality and ready to grow into a vine- 

 yard that will be a pride and profit to any 

 grower.

GRAPE CULTURE 



Grapes are truly the household fruit. They are 

 adapted to any locality, and will do well in any 

 well drained soil. Are easily grown, and should 

 not be overlooked by anyone who has any spare 

 ground. If you have an acre or so of non-produc- 

 ing land on your farm, a stony hill, or some spot 

 that has been useless, set it to Rayner's product- 

 ive Grape Vines this spring, and you will soon be 

 realizing a neat profit from this otherwise unpro- 

 ductive soil. When setting your plants prune the 

 roots to about 8 to 10 inches long, and the tops to 

 about two buds from the trunk, dig the holes large 

 enough so you can spread the roots well out, 

 planting about 10 to 12 inches deep. The vine 

 should be pruned each year while completely dor- 

 mant. In pruning it should be remembered the 

 fruit is borne on the previous season's wood.
