GRAPES 
Work the soil thoroughly before planting Grapes, 
and dig the hole broad and deep (several inches 
deeper than enough to receive the roots). Fill it up 
to the right depth withrich soil, and firm the earth 
well about the roots, as the hole is back-filled. 
Pruning. The fruit of the Grape is produced on 
the current year’s growth of canes. These canes 
should be pruned each winter so that only one of 
the buds remain on each stub. The young plant is 
trained to one shoot until it reaches the top of the 
trellis, to which it is tied. Two canes are allowed 
to grow from the top the second year, forming a 
framework for the succeeding growth. Remove all 
growth that starts on the main trunk as soon as it 
appears. The third year the cross-arms are pruned 
back to six or eight buds. These produce the bear- 
ing shoots. 
RASPBERRIES —- BLACK OR RED 
Plant 3to4 ft. apart—rows 4 to6 ft. apart, 1800 
to 3500 per acre. Prune as pictured below. Each 
year, shortly after fruit is picked, cut out all old 
growth at ground and later, cut off new growth at 
about 3 ft. high. 4 to 6 strong canes (branches) 
make best plant: Blick Raspberries require winter 
protection in severe climates. Red Raspberries are 
very hardy but fall mulching is beneficial.
