HARDY GRAPES. 



Grapes will flourish and bear abundantly on almost any 

 good, dry soil, especially if the vines are trained against 

 a building. We would emphatically urge all farmers, and 

 others who have barns or buildings, to plant grape vines 

 about them. Many varieties will do well when thus sup- 

 ported and protected, where they are worthless grown on 

 arbors. Nor is it necessary for persons to conclude, 

 because some of the more tender varieties will not grow 

 with them, that they cannot have grapes, because I here are 

 kinds adapted to almost every locality, that may be grown 

 on a very cheap and simple arbor, or even on single poles 

 or stakes.
