Niagara Grapes. 
Grapes are a favorite fruit the world over, and have been since 
the beginning of time. There is in the Grape the good savory 
qualities and rich flavor that make it so popular for eating as fresh 
fruit, and the uses to which it can be put in canning and jelly 
making are almost without number. 
Care and Pruning. Grapes should be planted deeply, from 6 to 
8 feet apart, south slope where possible. Annual and careful prun¬ 
ing is essential to the production of good Grapes. This yearly 
pruning should be done from November to March while the vines 
are entirely dormant. 
In trimming Grapes, perhaps the best method to follow is to 
keep them trained to two wires run between posts, the first wires about 2/i 
to 3 feet from the ground, the second 5 to 6 feet from the ground. The main 
shoot or stock should run up to the top wire, with two branches growing out 
from the central stock on both wires, one in each direction.
