HAfaw to Grow Berries 
All varieties require planting in friable, rich soil. Use plenty of gypsum, 
peat and manure or compost in preparation to receive the plants. 
Strawberries. Trim off the roots straight across, halfway. Set the 
plants so that the crown is exactly level with the top of the ground. 
Pack soil firmly about roots and water. Planting distance: 12 to 18 
inches. 
Berry Vines. These are supplied as rooted tips. Work up the soil 
thoroughly and plunge spade in planting position. Pull back on spade

tance: about 2 feet. 
How to Grow Grapes 
Planting. Grapevines are supplied as one or two-year rooted cuttings. 
Cut back tops to two buds and trim off roots to two inches. This 
pruning is essential though it may sound severe. Work up soil (do 
not add fertilizer) and plunge spade at planting position. Insert stem 
so that only two inches of the top remains above ground. Firm soil 
around roots and stem and water. 
Training and Pruning. Provide support for canes or plant against wall 
or fence. Train strongest shoot straight up, permitting laterals to 
grow in horizontal position. Begin pruning after second growing 
season, cutting back spurs on laterals to three or four buds on 
American varieties and to two buds on California varieties.
