Grapes in the °#tome Garden 
Grapes often yield a few bunches the year after planting, and 
should give a good crop the third year; with age they are very 
productive; in vineyard or garden, cultivated and pruned regu- 
larly, they yield larger bunches, but bear fair crops on fence, ar- 
bor or pergola. Scarcely any property is too small for a few 
vines. They succeed on almost any well drained soil of aver- 
age fertility. Plant 8x8 or 8x10 ft.
