CENTER POINT, IOWA. 
Grapes 
There is not a yard so small but there is room for from one to a dozen grape vines. 
Thev may be trained on a building, arbor or fence if necessary, and they will richly 
reward the planter with an abundance of the most healthful fruit. The great quantity 
of grapes now used for making grape juice makes it almost impossible to have an over- 
production of this fruit. Any well-drained land will produce grapes. 
Plant them in rows, six to eight feet or more apart. Dig holes so as not to have 
to fold the roots in planting and cut back the top to two buds. Prune off most of the 
new growth each fall, lay down the vines and 'cover with dirt for winter protection.
