How to Grow Grapes 
A strong two year plant is preferable to a 
younger or older one. Set the plant an inch or 
two deeper than it grew in the nursery row. 
No matter how long the top is it should be 
cut back to two or three buds or eyes. The 
usual planting distance is from 8 to 10 feet 
apart in rows which are spaced at 8 feet. 
Pruning—The pruning of a grape, perhaps the 
most important operation in its culture, is based 
upon the plant’s growth and fruiting habit—a 
habit distinctly different from any other fruit. 
The fruit is all borne on shoots of the current 
season’s growth. 
For hardy varieties the 6- or 8-arm Kniffen 
system is most satisfactory. This system com- 
prises a central upright trunk with three or 
four horizontal arms on each side of it. At each 
annual pruning there should be left on each of 
these arms approximately 3 to 3} ft. of cane 
(strong wood of the past season’s growth). 
The tender grapes are usually trained to a 
horizontal arm spur system with the trunk 
running parallel to the ground and tied to the 
lower trellis wire in such a manner that it may 
be lowered to the ground for winter covering. 
From this arm a series of short spurs (bearing 
one year wood and buds for next year’s shoots) 
is left at each pruning.

THE HARDY GRAPES 
This group of hardy fruits requires no winter 
protection and can be grown on a trellis, arbor 
or building with the same degree of safety as 
can the wild grapes. 
BETA—About half way between the Concord 
and the wild grape in both size and quality 
and is a very heavy producer. A great favor- 
ite for jellies and wines. 
ALPHA—Similar to Beta in hardiness, appear- 
ance, size and manner of growth but is gen- 
erally considered to surpass it in quality. We 
recommend it as preferable to Beta for gen- 
eral plantings. 
THE DESSERT GRAPES 
For crop insurance these varieties should be 
given some winter protection. They should be 
laid down and covered with soil. 
CONCORD—The most popular and widely 
grown of the blue table grapes. It is the 
standard of comparison for all other varieties. 
DELAWARE—tThe finest Red grape. Although 
small in size it is unequalled in sweetness and 
spiciness. 
NIAGARA—America’s leading green grape. 
Very large and highly productive. Probably 
the finest of all the green or white grapes.
