20 
GRAPES. 
Any fairly good soil, not vvel, will grow the Grapes we name 
in tlie following list. Varieties 
which are tender, weakly, in- 
clined to mildew, or too late, are 
omitted. Grape vines are par- 
ticnlarly adapted to city and vil- 
lage lot's. They occupy very lit- 
tle space, can be trained over 
doorways, fences, or arbors ; but 
no finer fniit can be produced 
than by the simple method of tie- 
ing the vine to a single stake. 
A trellis can be built later, if 
desired. Some of our customers 
who raise large and beautiful 
bunches train their vines to a 
very high arbor. A good root 
and tops cut back to 3 or 4 eyes, 
is all that is required to begin. 
The planting and cultivation is 
very readily put in practice, and abundant annual crops will 
result very soon after iilanting.
