To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— "When a number of vines are to be planted, it is best to dig the holes ' before the vines are taken into the field, and Avhen they are taken from the place where they have been heeled-in, their roots should be kept in a box or basket filled with damp moss, or protected in some such manner from the air and sun. The vines should also be pruned before they are taken into the field. Prune the roots, as has already been directed, and cut off the stem to about eighteen inches. The holes to receive ...the vines should be dug in a circu- lar form, and from six to ten inches deep upon the out- side, and four to six inches in the center ; then set a good strong stake in the center of the hole ; for unless the stake is placed in position before the vine is planted, there is great danger of injuring some of the roots of the vine in driving it down by its side after it is in position. 118 THE GKAPE CUITTJEIST. Now set the yine in the center of the hole close by the stake, spread out the roots in every direction, and throw on a little soil as you proceed, to hold them in position.
