GRAPES 
Grapes are capable of so varied methods of cultiva- 
tion that we do not attempt to give any cultural direc- 
tions. They should be planted not less than 6 feet 
apart, and they will repay any extra care given them 
in preparation of soil, after-fertilization, and selection 
of situation. Mildew and other fungous diseases, which 
have become so destructive in the past, are now well 
understood, and are easily treated by spraying with 
Bordeaux Mixture. 
Prices: — Strong 2 and 3 year vines, 35c. each; 
$3.00 per 10, except where noted with an 
asterisk (*).
