SUMMARY 



We do not believe there is another fruit combining the advantages 

 that, are offered the growers of Scuppernong Grapes. We know of 

 no other fruit that combines the safety of market with low cost of 

 production and large crops, that are the features of the Scuppernong. 



The following facts can be proven at almost every homestead in 

 Eastern North Carolina : 



1. There are no insect enemies of the fruit or vine and no disease 

 affecting them. 



2. The vines require no careful and expensive pruning. 



3. There is no danger of a late frost killing the buds. 



4. There is no age limit to the vines. 



5. Grapes are grown best on the cheapest land. 



6. There is no need of expensive packages or equipment. 



7. The vines are heavy and sure bearers. 



8. The product has a high value and brings highest prices. 



9. A sure market for a long term of years takes the industry 

 entirely out of the gamble class. 



There are many of the commercial fruits that do not enjoy a 

 single one of the above advantages, and very few fruits can claim 

 more than two, and we believe it is a knowledge of this that has 

 awakened people all over the country to the possibilities of Scupper- 

 nong growing. E. C. COOL, Manager,
