HEAVY CANED 



Hardy — Fast Growers — Heavy Yielders 



No home planting is complete without Grape Vines, and lots of ready cash 

 can be made on the farm by planting a thousand vines in some out-of-the- 

 way place that is not paying expenses. Just try it. The Grape is easily 

 grown and produces large returns for the time and effort expended. Our 

 long-growing season here on the Eastern Shore produces vines with a vigor- 

 ous root system, and assure our customers of getting strong, healthy fruit 

 canes in a very short time after setting.

NEW VARIETIES OF GRAPES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION 



The following list are new varieties that have been tested 

 for their dependable performance both in the home and 

 garden and field vineyards. You will find in these varieties 

 fruit of the highest quality and in more than one way 

 show supremacy over the standard varieties. 

 CHAMPAGNE a delicious white Grape, turning to Amber 

 when fully ripe, extremely large and juicy. Never before 

 have we seen as large compact bunches of grapes as this 

 variety produces. Strong sturdy grower. Don't fail to get 

 some of this variety, you will be delighted with them. 

 CACO This new red Grape that is giving promise of be- 

 coming the leading red variety. On our farms this year, it 

 was an outstanding variety, both as to flavor and size of 

 fruit — holding fruit well after ripening. 

 FREDONIA Originated in New York State Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. Black, ripens very early, berries large, 

 juicy and sweet, borne in large compact clusters, bunches

ONTARIO White — Follows Portland very closely in ripen- 

 ing. An excellent blending of acid and sugar, hence the 

 taste is sprightly, and yet sweet. Vines strong, vigorous 

 growers, and very productive. Another of New York State 

 Agricultural Station's originations. 



PORTLAND New white Grape developed by New York 

 State Experiment Station. Ripens earlier than any other 

 known Grape. Berries large and have that beautiful yellow 

 color like the Niagara. Contains so much sugar that it can 

 be eaten long before it is fully ripe. 



SHERIDAN Is the most promising new Grape for com- 

 mercial growers to compete with California vineyards. It is 

 a l,ate bluish black Grape, large and more attractive than 

 Concord, and is superior in keeping qualities. Fruit is pro- 

 duced in large handsome clusters, and many of them on 

 each vine. We recommend this Grape to all our customers 

 in the Middle Atlantic.
