the rows 3% to 4 ft. apart; planted 2x4 ft. requires 5400 per

Grapes in the S#ome 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-

vines. They succeed cn almost any well drained soil of aver-
