GRAPES. 



Cultural Directions. — There is scarcely a 

 yard so small, either in country or city, 

 that room for one to a dozen or more 

 grape vines cannot be found. They do ad- 

 mirably if trained up to the side of any 

 building, or along the garden fences, oc- 

 cupying but little room and furnishing an 

 abundance of the healthiest of fruit. 

 Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines 

 somewhat deeper than they stood in the 

 nursery. Plant about 8 feet apart, bj^ the 

 fence or building. For vineyards, make 

 rows 8 feet apart, 6 to 10 feet in rows. 

 Paper bags slipped over the clusters as 

 soon as they have formed are a good pro- 

 tection from fungus, insects, birds, etc. 



Have some select varieties for the table 

 and for making wine. The following is a 

 list of them, viz:

 large and fine early grape; black. Strong, 

 vigorous, hardy vine with thick, healthy

 very good; skin thin; seeds few and small, 

 parting easily from the pulp; a good 

 shipner. Ripens very early, but remain 

 sound on the vines for many weeks. This

 profitable market sorts to grow. 50c. each.

 size, and in large bunches; covered with 

 bloom; flesh pulpy, sweet, tender; excellent.
