WELCH’S GRAPES 
By J. C. Welch 
There is no more healthful drink than good sweet Grape juice. A drink for 
the gods and for the humblest laborer toiling in the hot sun; it has found its way in 
administering to the sick and to the 
merrymakers; it has become.an ele- 
ment of the sacrament and of the 
celebration. Knowing what real val- 
ues there are in Grape culture, I 
like to think that I am _ building 
up the health of my customers when 
I recommend heavy planting of 
grapes. Never hesitate to put in a 
Grape vine, for it will justify that 
faith if you give it half a chance.

GRAPES 
Dig hole big as though plant- 
ing an apple tree, and use the 
same method. Remove part of 
tops and roots as shown in pic 
» ture on ‘’Top pruning line ’’ and 
“Bottom Pruning Line.’ Leave 
two buds above surface. Set 6 
ft. in rows 8 ft. apart. First 
year only the main stem should 
be allowed to grow and one vine 
trained each way on 2 trellis 
wires about 24” and 36” above 
ground respectively. 
PRUNING GRAPES: Prune 
only in the winter when vines 
are dormant and weather not too 
cold. Keep in mind that canes 
that have borne fruit one year 
will not bear again. So prune 
off all old canes (year old 
GOLDEN MUSCAT shoots) coming out from main cane.
