GRAPE CULTURE 
Set the vines deep enough to cover the main stem and in 
holes large enough for the roots without crowding—eight feet 
apart each way is ample distance. 
Many growers prefer to cut off several inches of the roots 
when planting. Tops can be cut back to three or four buds. 
Clean cultivation or mulch in the early part of the season. 
Well rotted manure and good drainage are quite beneficial. It 
1s well to set a stake with each vine when planting. The first 
year—train one shoot only up to the stake. Dusting sulphur or 
Bordeau Mixture during rainy periods along with arsenate of 
lead during early summer will control mildews and berry 
moth. Trim your grape vines in December or J anuary or any 
time plants are fully dormant.
