RAPES are about the easiest fruits that a home-owner can grow. The vines 
need little space and thrive almost anywhere. In a small yard they can 
be trained over a trellis, on the back porch, or even along a fence. In 
field-planting, train them to wires stretched between posts. Prune in midwinter 
to prevent “‘bleeding,”’ cultivate carefully, and feed well, are the three general rules 
for success. Scuppernongs need no pruning, but if demanded because of space, 
do the work tn late fall. 
Grape-vines should be pruned heavily in the winter, or they will overbear and 
tax the plant. Each year cut back to a lrmited number of good canes with only 
a few buds left on each, and cut off entirely all the remaining canes. 
Grapes are usually grown in the field, on two-wire trellises or fences, and are 
planted 10 to 12 feet apart each way. For home planting, they are often trained 
on arbors.
