GRAPES 
Grapes require mostly a well-cuitivated piece of 
ground, but care must be taken that it is well 
drained. 
After planting, the vines should be cut back in 
early spring to two or three eyes. The following 
year the best cane should be selected and cut to 
about 6 feet, and the others to one or two eyes, and 
repeat this year after year. In this way well-sea¬ 
soned fruiting canes are always retained.
