GRAPE VINES 
Plant grapes 6 to 8 feet apart and train them upon a pair 
of wires, a trellis, an arbor, or any support. The vines make 
a grateful shade in the back yard and bear surprising quan- 
ties of fragrant, delicious fruits.

fruit, but good culture, pruning and spraying should be ap- 
plied if the best quality of fruit is desired.
