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

 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 larce to amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use only 

 fine surface soil in filling in. mixing with it a little r;roimd bone. Cut back one year vines to two eyes, placing 

 the lower one beneath the sm-face; cut back two years vines to thi'ee 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 to plant gi'ape vines.

VICTORIA (True). 



The finest hardy white grape ever introduced, with- 

 out a fault, either in vine or fruit. The clusters are 

 large and exceedingly handsome, berries medium to 

 large, very attractive, greenish-white, with Light 

 bloom; pulp tender, rich and sweet and of highest qual- 

 ity. Vine exceptionally free from rot and mildew, a 

 strong grower, hardy and very prolific. The true 

 variety is very difficult to propagate, hence rare and 

 a little high in price. There are very few vines of the 

 true variety on the market. AVe have grown our vines 

 from fruiting canes and know them to be absolutely 



EARLY OHIO, 



We consider this the best very early black grape we 

 have, and valuable especially for its extreme earliness, 

 hardiness, productiveness and good quality. The vine 

 is thrifty, a strong, rapid grower, and an abundant 

 bearer. Bunch large, compact, shouldered and hand- 

 some; berries medium, a trifle smaller than Concord, 

 black with heavy bloom, firm in textm'e. and of a s:)icy, 

 pleasant flavor. It ripens one week to ten days earlier 

 than Moore's Early, ten days to two weeks earUerthan 

 "Worden, and three weeks earlier than Concord. 1 year,
