  Vitis labrusca ( Agawam Grape )
The grape is a deciduous vine that is used for fruit, wine and shade.
A single grapevine produces enough new growth every year to roof an arbor, arch a walkway, or shade over a terrace or deck.
To produce quality grapes, choose a variety that fits your climate, prune it regularly, and train it carefully.

  Gardening:Grape - Research Area
In order to understand the pruning of grapes, the operator must fully grasp this principle: _Fruit is borne on wood of the present season, which arises from wood of the previous season._ To illustrate: A growing shoot, or cane, of 1909 makes buds.
The essential operation of pruning a grape vine, therefore, is each year to cut back a limited number of good canes to a few buds, and to cut off entirely all the remaining canes or wood of the previous season's growth.
Grapes are set from 6 to 8 feet apart in rows which are 8 to 10 feet apart.

 List of grape varieties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of varieties of cultivated grapes, whether used for wine, or eating as a Table grape, fresh or dried (raisin, currant, sultana).
While some of the grapes in this section are hybrids, they are hybridized within a single species (for example, Niagara).

 Edward Payson Roe : The Home Acre : Chapter IV. The Vineyard and Orchard
As I have said before, our cultivated grapes are derived from several native species found growing wild, and some now valued highly for wine-making are nothing but wild grapes domesticated; as, for instance, Norton's Virginia, belonging to the oestivalis class.
The species from which the greatest number of well-known grapes is obtained is the Vitis labrusca, the common wild or fox grape, found growing in woods and thickets, usually where the ground is moist, from Canada to the Gulf.
Few of the early grapes will keep long after being taken from the vine; but some of the later ones can be preserved well into the winter by putting them in small boxes and storing them where the temperature is cool, even, and dry.
