Buntings’ Hardy Nursery Qro<wn 
Like Blackberries, is one of the easiest crops of small fruits to produce. They thrive in almost any kind 
of soil that is not too wet, even on stony hills and other such locations generally classed as being out-of- 
the-way places or a plot of soil nonproductive. Such places can be made beautiful and fruitful by plant' 
ing a few Grape vines. Grapes grow in any state in the Union. For commercial purposes, plant them in 
rows 8 feet apart with plants set 8 feet apart in the row. When pruning, never forget the fact that Grapes 
grow only on last year’s shoots. Therefore, keep all wood cut out which is more than one year of age. To 
grow them for commercial purposes, it is necessary to do some spraying and careful pruning. A good 
Grape vineyard in the end is always profitable. When planting, dig a hole large enough to admit all 
the roots without crowding. The roots, however, should be pruned back to about 8 to 10 inches from 
the trunk. The tops should be pruned back to about one or two buds from the trunk.
