 jams, jellies and preserves.

 can be grown in small spaces and trained up over buildings or 

 fences. For commercial planting they should be planted in

Agawam. Large dark red or brown berries, thick skin, aro- 

 matic flavor. The vine is a strong rank grower, hardy and 

 productive. Ripens with Concord. 



Caco. A comparatively new grape that is outstanding in flavor. 



It is a healthy grower and bears abundantly in all sorts of climate 



and soil. The grapes are large in size and have a wine red over 



amber color. Ripens just before Concord. A very worthwhile 



variety to plant in the home garden. 



Catawba. Large bunches of dark red berries, flesh pulpy with 

 rich vinous flavor. Best quality for table use. Late. 



CONCORD. The most popular grape grown. It adapts itself 

 to varying conditions and is grown in most every state of the 

 Union. Large compact bunches of dark purplish black berries. 

 The berries are covered with a rich bloom, skin is tender, but 

 is sufficiently firm to carry to distant markets; flesh is juicy, 

 sweet and tender. Vine is a vigorous grower, hardy and very 

 productive. Midseason, old reliable commercial variety. Best 

 money maker. 



Delaware. Bunches medium size, full of large red berries, which 

 are sweet and of extra good quality. Late. 



MOORE'S EARLY. Extremely dark purple, almost black. 

 Bunches medium size, but berries are large. Flavor and quality 

 are very much like Concord but ripens much earlier. 



NIAGARA. The best of the standard, light colored grapes. 

 Bunches of large greenish white berries, changing to a pale yellow 

 color when fully ripe. Ripens about the same time as Concord 

 or a little earlier. 



Worden. Large bunches of black colored berries, very highly 

 flavored and of large size, excellent for table use. Ripens five 

 to ten days earlier than Concord. 



Niagara Grapes. 



Harrisons' Asparagus 



Big profits can be made from growing Harrisons' Quality 

 Asparagus. It is easily grown with very little work. The 

 Asparagus bed will last for twenty or more years. It is one 

 of the most healthful foods you can eat. Ideal to plant in the 

 home garden. 



HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS 



Make deep furrows four feet apart, place the asparagus roots 

 two feet apart in the furrows, spread the roots each way, cover 

 the roots and crown with about two inches of soil. After it 

 grows through the first layer of soil, fill in with two more inches, 

 continue filling in the soil in this way until the furrows are filled. 

 Cultivate and hoe frequently. 



The plants which we offer are strong 2 year No. 1 grade which 

 is the ideal size to plant for best results. 



Palmetto. Ten days to two weeks earlier than most other 

 varieties. The stalks vary from dark to light green, are very 

 large and of exceptionally good quality. The old standard com- 

 mercial variety. 



Washington. A new pedigreed rust resistant asparagus, 

 being noted for its large size, vigor, productiveness, tender- 

 ness, higher quality and rust resistance. Martha Washington 

 and Washington is the same variety. 



MARY WASHINGTON. This asparagus is generally recognized 

 by the leading growers as being the best variety of asparagus 

 grown. It starts earlier, produces more and larger stalks of 

 extra ordinary quality than any other asparagus. This variety 

 is highly rust resistant and has proven by test to be best either 

 in the home garden or in commercial plantations. Our plants 

 are grown from the original pedigreed strain of Norton and 

 Coker of South Carolina.
