Once upon a time, the writer had much to do with varieties of grapes, the growing from cuttings, layers, etc., and came to the conclusion that a good, strong, healthy, well rooted plant, grown with space of one foot apart, was better and more likely to be successful than the plant grown from a single eye and only three inches apart in a frame. My estimate is now appreciated by one who watched my work, and who says now that every yearling grape grown from a cutting should have eighteen inches of space to make it really valuable.
