GRAPE VINES 
SELECT 
Grape Vines we grow very extensively; four of our 100-ft. houses are 
filled with them early in the spring, and afterwards (the houses) used for 
drying seeds.during August and September. Each year we have some unsold 
from the preceding year's sale ; .these are shifted from the 9 and 10-in. pots 
into baskets filled with well-prepared soil, and make strong growth from 12 
to 18 ft. long, carrying bunches of GrapeS. These are of great importance 
when a hoi|se is required to be filled at once. At all seasons these Vines, if 
planted intact and laid sideways, together with 2 ft. of stem, G inches below 
the surface, will at once put forth young fresh roots. By having these a 
season’s planting will be saved. 6s. to 8s. each.
