GRAPES.
Campbell's early.
Rows should be eight feet apart, and vines from six
to eight feet apart in the row. Dig a hole two feet
long, one foot wide and one foot deep. Put a little
surface soil in the bottom, and mix in some bone dust
or commercial manures, and then place in another thin
layer of surface soil. Trim the ends of roots and
spread out in hole, covering with surface soil. Cut the
vine back to two buds and draw in the earth so as to
.cover roots and stem up to top bud. Train the vine
to a stake for the first two years, and afterwards train
on trellis. Keep this in mind, old wood never bears
the second time. The vines of this year bear fruit the
next. Nine-tenths of the wood should be cut away
each season to get the largest and best grapes. Vines
are all strong two-year plants, true to name.
Prices quoted are for plants by Express, at
purchaser's expense.
If wanted by Mail, add 15 cents per dozen.
