° Set the vines deep enough to cover the main stem and in holes sufficiently. 
Growing Grapes large for the roots without crowding. 8 ft. apart each way is ample planting 
distance. Cut the tops back to 3 to 4 buds. Clean cultivation or mulch in the early part of the season. Good 
drainage, well rotted manure or Nitrogen fertilizers are most beneficial. Dusting Sulphur or Bordeaux 
mixture during rainy periods along with arsenate of lead during early summer will contre] mildews and 
berry moth. Trim your grape vines in December or January. One system of training the vines is described 
in our Booklet ‘‘Successful Planting” sent free with each order.

hardy and healthy.

Sheridan the best variety to follow Concord. 
Good quality. Dr. U. P. Hedrich, of New York Sta-

it will supplement the Concord which it surpasses in 
vine and fruit characteristics in many regions.”
