Rows should be eight feet apart, and vines from six to eight feet apart In 
the row. Dig a hole two feet long, one foot wide, and one foot deep. p ut 
a little surface soil in the bottom, and mix in some bone dust or commer 
cial manures, and then place in another thin layer of surface soil. T r j m 
the ends of roots, and spread out in hole, covering with surface soil. Cut 
the vine back to two buds, and draw in the earth so as to cover roots and 
stem up to top bud. Train the vine to a stake for the first two years, and 
afterwards train on trellis. Keep this in mind, old wood never bears the 
second time. The vines of this year bear fruit the next. Nine-tenths of 
the wood should be cut away each season to get the largest and best 
grapes. I 'ines arc all strong two-year plants , true to name.
