HARDY, WELL-ROOTED STOCK 



Grapes are truly the household fruit. They are adapted j 

 to any locality, and will do well in any well drained soil. They 

 are very easily grown, and should not be overlooked by any- 

 one who has any spare ground. If you have an acre or so of nou-producing land on your farm, a 

 stony hill top, or some other spot that has been useless, set it to Rayner's productive Grape Vines this 

 spring, and you will soon be realizing a neat profit from this otherwise unproductive soil. When set- 

 ting 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. For commercial plantings they should be planted about 6 to 8 feet apart in rows that are 8 feet 

 apart, and for garden use they can be set about 8 feet apart in any convenient place. The vines should 

 be carefully pruned in late winter or early spring before any signs of growth appears. As the fruit is 

 borne on the wood of the previous year, this should be kept in mind when pruning. We have a fine 

 stock of vines this year, and are offering only the best varieties to our customers.
