HOW TO PLANT VINES 
Dig a large hole, filling in with good rich garden soil (too often close to the foundation the soil is very 
poor), then set the vines deeply, packing the earth firmly around their roots. Be patient as their new 
growth is often slow starting. Give them plenty of moisture, especially until well established. See special 
instructions for Clematis just below their prices.
