Rows should he 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. Put a little 
surface soil in the bottom, and mix in some bone dust or commercial manures 
and then place in another thin layer of surface soil. Trim 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. 
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. / rnes are all strong two-year plants , true to name.
