Successful Grape Culture Using Newal System for Profits
An article details a grape growing method titled the newal system. One year vines are set in nursery rows and heavily fertilized with wood ashes and hen manure, then weeded and cultivated regularly. In the first year two canes grow, next spring roots are shortened and a cane cut back to two buds, the remaining cane trained to a whip to fruit lightly. If true to name, the plant will later yield eight to ten large bunches, then two canes emerge from buds and, with care, produce larger yields in subsequent years, as shown by Moore's Diamond and McFike vines aged three in spring 1908.
