Thrifty Grapes 
Grapes are one of the most productive and hardy fruits that we have. They can be grown in small 
spaces and trained up the side of a building or along fences, occupying very little room. Make the 
soil mellow and plant vines somewhat deeper than they stood in the nursery and about 8 feet apart 
by a fence or building. As a commercial crop they are as desirable as com and as staple on the mar¬
