GRAPES 



The fruit everyone enjoys and everyone 

 has room for. Be sure to plant some of Ray- 

 ner's strong thrifty vines this year. You will 

 be surprised how quickly they begin bearing, 

 and wonder at the small space, and little at- 

 tention they require. Fresh grapes, preserves 

 and grape juice, are all delicious.

GRAPE CULTURE 



Grapes 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-producing land on your farm, a stony hill, or 

 some 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 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 

 dormant. In pruning it should be remembered the 

 fruit is borne on the previous season's wood.
