OUR SELECT LIST OF HARDY PRODUCTIVE 



GRAPE VINES 



The Eastern Shore of 

 Maryland has been for 

 many years taking the 

 lead in producing extra 

 strong healthy grape vines 

 Our climate is ideal for 

 grape growing, the season 

 is long and the mild win- 

 ters does not effect the 

 wood causing a big per- 

 centage to die after being 

 set out as is the case with 

 more Northern grown 

 stock. 



We have selected a list 

 of varieties not surpassed 

 by other growers. These 

 vines are grown on our 

 own nursery farms fully 

 matured before being dug 

 £or shipment. Every grape 

 order is filled with fresh 

 dug vines. We never store 

 grape vines as in the case 

 with the Northern nursery. 

 When you buy Our Stock 

 you buy the best that it is 

 possible to grow and our Guarantee that every vine that fails to 

 grow will be replaced free of charge. 



The Grape Useful and Easy to Grow 



The grape is one of the most healthy fruits grown, and one of 

 the most highly esteemed, for its many uses. It can be and should 

 be grown by every one who has a garden, yard, fence or walk. It 

 can be bound to a stake, tied to a trellis, trained over an arbor, or 

 extended until it covers a large tree; and still it yields its graceful 

 bunches of large fruit. The grape as a usual thing is hardy and 

 productive and begins to fruit the second year — not later than the 

 third. Surely no one can afford to allow their family t be deprived 

 of fine delicious grapes when they are so easy and cheaply grown. 

 25c to 50c buys a sure grow vine that in a few years will produce all 

 a single family can use. Half a dozen vines will produce enough 

 for the family and lots to sell the neighbors or make gallons of juice 

 which is considered the worlds most healthy drink. PLAN TO 

 PLANT A GRAPE VINE THIS SPRING. BETTER PLANT A 

 DOZEN IF YOU HAVE THE ROOM.
