HOW TO GROW GRAPEVINES =: 
PLANTING. Grapevines should be planted during January, 
February and March. Before planting, trim off all roots except the 
main roots at the base of cutting and shorten these to two or three 
inches. Prune the top to two buds on a single spur and place the 
plants in a bucket of water until ready to plant. Dig spacious 
holes and set the single spur about two inches above the ground 
level while filling in with top soil about the roots. Firm the soil 
with a slow stream of water. 
PRUNING. Quick results are obtained by throwing all of the top 
growth into a single cane during the first growing season. Train 
it straight up to form the central trunk for your vine. In the next 
winter, prune the laterals back to two buds on all varieties except 
Thompson Seedless. Begin training the laterals of this variety 
during the first growing season. Reason: Thompson Seedless fruit 
arises from two-year wood; in other varieties fruit is borne on cur- 
rent season's growth. 
Train laterals arising from the main trunk during the second sum- 
mer horizontally. Trim secondary laterals arising from these 
horizontal canes back to two buds in the second winter. Upon 
establishing a complete framework, continue to trim all canes 
back to two buds each winter. Exception: Thompson Seedless 
require a continuous reserve of canes for following-year produc- 
tion. 
CULTURAL. Do not irrigate grapevines too frequently, resulting 
in watery, tasteless fruit. Three good irrigations during the sum- 
mer will suffice under average conditions. A mulch of well-rotted 
cow manure applied two months after planting will force strong 
growth useful in building a good framework quickly. Watch your 
vines closely in fall for mildew, and dust with a good grade of 
HOW TO GROW CITRUS TREES 
PLANTING. All citrus varieties are evergreen and come with a 
ball of soil around the roots. Dig a deep, spacious hole at least 
twice the size of the ball. Set the tree in the hole so that the bud 
union is about two inches above ground level. Fill in with good 
top-soil about half way. Cut the top string supporting the burlap 
and fold back. Fill in with more topsoil and irrigate to compact 
soil around roots. 
WARNING. Do not use any fertilizer or manure when planting. 
If ball is dried and hard when received, plunge into a bucket of 
water for a minute before setting the ball into the hole. 
FERTILIZER. Use a well-balanced commercial fertilizer two 
months after planting and each spring thereafter. Mulch with 
well-rotted manure in the irrigation basin summer, fall and 
winter. 
WATER. Citrus trees require regular irrigation in the dry season. 
Irrigate in a large basin at least once each month in heavy soils 
and every two weeks in light, sandy soils. Warning: If your citrus 
tree is a lawn specimen, keep the sod from growing near the base 
of the trunk. Your sprinkling system will not provide enough 
water for your tree; irrigate regularly as recommended above. 
PEST CONTROL. Spray for aphis on the new foliage in spring 
and for scale at monthly intervals from spring to winter. A com- 
bination spray for aphis and scale is recommended. Keep ants 
out of your trees. 
ST SSS ST eS 
dusting sulphur as soon as the first sign of mil- 
dew is apparent. Follow up with other applica- 
tions when conditions warrant.
