A VINEYARD — For Pleasure and Profit 
GRAPE CULTURE—Dig a wide deep hole. Set vines about 8 to 10 feet 
apart in the row, with the rows about the same distance apart. Tie the plant 
to a stake the first year. The second year set posts and stretch one wire. The 
third year, another wire should be added about 10 inches above the first 
wire, allowing the plant to grow just one stem up to the second wire, then 
cut plant off even with this second wire. This forces the plant to send out 
side branches or shoots to grow out onto the wire. Old wood should be cut 
away each year, allowing the new wood to grow along the wires to produce 
the following year’s crop. Trim in early winter or early spring.
