Grape Vines 
Even vmder unfavorable conditions the grape 
vine will bear fruit, but good culture, pruning 
and spraying should be applied if the best 
quality of fruit is desired. Along almost any 
garden fence or walk there is room for vines 
enough to furnish luscious grapes from July to 
November. In such situations they may be 
planted about 8 feet apart. In vineyard rows, 
set the vines 6 to 10 feet apart, with 8 feet 
between rows.

BLACK OR BLUE GRAPES 
Campbell Early. Sweet and juicy, seeds few 
and small, very early; clusters large; espe¬ 
cially tine for marketing. 
Concord. The standard, reliable blue-black 
grape everywhere; vigorous and prolific. 
SMALL FRUITS 
Culture. Bramble fruit like blackberries, raspberries, etc., 
should have all old wood (older than the previous season’s 
growth) cut out close to the ground each spring and the past 
season’s growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in 
height All of the old canes should be removed and should 
be burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good re¬ 
sults. A strawberry bed should have a light coating two 
inches deep of coarse hay, or straw that is free from weed 
seed, after the ground has just frozen; and in the spring 
raked between the rows and allowed to remain there until 
the fruit has been harvested. Then it should be removed and 
cultivation be resumed.
