SETTING

Fall is the best time for setting, because the soil becomes settled about the roots, and all wounds made upon them in the process of transplanting will become healed, and new roots will often issue in the spring before it is time to transplant. They will be ready to commence growing as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Mr. Fuller thinks that Grapes set in he fall will make at least one third more growth the next season, than if delayed till the following spring. If set in the spring, it should be done as soon as the ground will work.SFCC 17.4

As a general rule they should be planted seven or eight feet apart, and trained to stakes, the same as the Raspberry and Blackberry.SFCC 18.1
