Pruning
Crapevines
BY ISABEL FUCKER
retroh Times Garden Editor

IT'S NICE 10 know that a
number of our readers approve
the idea Of having certain gar
den articles by request. Here's
our second one-on the very
timely topic of pruning grape
vines.
Trimming OF the vines must
be done before the sap starts to
rise. In any ordinary year, that
means before the end of Feb
ruary.
Reasons for Pruning
Vines are pruned for two
reasons: 10 keep them from
growing where they are not
wanted and 70 keep them from
overbearing. Fruit is borne only
on new wood, grown during the
current season, from btds on
last years wood. Therefore, be-
sides the main stem, the only
parts of the vine necessary for
a crop this year, are side shoots
of last years growth bearing
sufficient buds for this seasons
fruitiRg canes.
Each bud Of last years
growth will produce from two
10 three punches OF grapes, II
the vine is of bearing age. in
good condition, and has Sufti-
Cient room in which 10 spread.
a vigorous but fairly young
vine may be allowed 10 produce
30 punches, meaning that 10
buds may be left on last years
growth.
An Older vine in good phySi-
cal condition might bear 80
punches. meaning that about 30
buds should be left IN pruning.
Replace Frequently

"If she calls again, say I'm on my

The car stopped before her house,
and she dashed out. She opened the
door and collected her bag and in

about Mary Berend; she prayed
for normal birth. The girl was
so frail.
Without changing her clothes,
she ran out to the garage for her
car, and drove swiftly through the
darkened streets to the Springdale
waterfront.
At a wooden tenement, she
stopped the car. She hurried up the
walk, then picked her way through

narrow basement stairs. From the
stairwell came a strident radio. She
stumbled and caught herself.
"You better be careful on them
