PLANTING AND CLUTURE 
OF THE VINE BERRY 
The best time to set out plants is as early in 
the spring as the ground is workable. Plants 
should be set in rows 8 or 9 feet each way. 
Planting Promptly: Plants should be set as 
soon as received. If they appear dry when re- 
ceived, place in water to soak for a few minutes. 
If ground is not ready, hill them in furrow; shelter 
from sun until ground is ready for the plants. 
Fertilizing: If the soil is deficient in humus 
and plant food, barnyard manure can advantage- 
ously be applied before the initial plowing and 
then thoroughly worked into the soil before the 
plants are set out. Do not put any fertilizer under 
the hill when planting, as that will burn them up. 
However, owing to the heavy cane growth and 
abundant fruiting of these berries, they should be 
fertilized to provide the plant food necessary, 
preferably in late or early spring.
