The limits of a catalogue do not permit more than brief mention of modes of cultivation of the grape. We 

 refer the reader to the excellent works of Fuller and Hussman for full details. Plant in rows six feet apart and 

 eight feet apart in the row. Dig holes sufficiently large to amply accommodate the roots of the vines and use 

 only fine surface soil in filling in, mixing with it a little ground bone. Cut back one year vines to two eyes, plac- 

 ing the lower one beneath the surface: cut back two years vin >s to three or four eyes, putting two or three eyes 

 below the surface. Spread the roots out, after trimming them: place the stock of the vine at one side of the hole 

 and fill up with soil, pressing down firmly with the feet. Autumn is the best season in which to plant grapevines.

JUNEBERRIES. 



The Dwarf Juneberry is an excellent substitute for the Swamp 

 Whortleberry, but is of the easiest culture. The fruit is borne in 

 clusters, as showu in the engraving, reddish-purple changing to 

 bluish-black. In flavor it is of a mild, rich, sub-acid; excellent 

 as a dessert fruit or canned. Extremel}* hardy, enduring ex- 

 treme cold and the heat of summer without injury. In habit it 

 is similar to the currant, the bushes attaining the same s : ze and 

 literally covered with fruit in June. The blossoms are quite 

 large and composed of fine white petals; which, with its bright, 

 glossy, dark green foliage, renders it one of the handsomest of 

 ornamental shrubs. As it grows from suckers, the plants fre- 

 quently have but little roots, but they transplant so readily that 

 they rarely fail to live if planted firmly. 



Improved Dwarf. An improvement upon the common June- 

 berry, and the variety generally offered in the catalogues. It is 

 a good sort, but much inferior to the following. Ea., 10c; 3 for 

 25c; doz., 75c; 100, $4.50 (by ynail); $4.00 (by express). 



Success. A superb variety, the result of careful crossing, and 

 a great improvement upon all others. Perfectly free from dis- 

 ease, and exceedingly productive; fruit delicious, rich and full in 

 flavor. Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.00; 100 ; $5.00 (by mail if 



desired).
