Lovett's Grapes For Dependable Results 



Vineyards have occupied a central position, 

 not only in the pages of history but in the 

 progress of man. The Grape has ever been a 

 favorite of man, and in days gone by was sym- 

 bolic of feasts. It retains its position today, and 

 is a favorite fruit. Justly so, for it contains many 

 of the useful salts and minerals so necessary to 

 health. And to tempt those who should have 

 these things, it offers a flavor unique and de- 

 licious. 



LOVETT'S CACO GRAPE 



Awarded the highest honor ever conferred upon a new 

 Grape — A Medal by The American Institute of New York. 



The production of the Caco Grape, and its 

 subsequent introduction by us, came as an answer 

 to the demands of the gardeners who desired 

 certain qualities in a Grape. They wanted, in 

 one grape, appearance, flavor and hardiness. 



Caco Grapes combine all the desirable features 

 demanded by growers with none of the defects of 

 less satisfactory varieties. Their hardiness, rich- 

 ness of flavor, coloring, and productiveness 

 proclaim the Caco the finest of Grapes and we 

 have no hesitancy in recommending this variety 

 to the most critical enthusiast Search where you 

 may, none can surpass the Caco as the Grape 

 supreme and most desirable. Illustrated on 

 page 62. 



Prices of Caco Grape vines, 2 year old, each, 

 90c; dozen, ^9.00; 100, ^65.00. Heavy fruiting 

 age vines, each, ^2.00; dozen, ^20.00. 



Standard Varieties 

 of Grapes 



The Pick of the Choicest 



Agawam — Deep red, almost maroon. Large, 

 loose bunch; berries large, meaty, with rich aro- 



matic flavor. Ripens a little after Concord. 2 

 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. Heavy fruiting 

 age vines, each, ^1.00; dozen, ^10.00. 

 Brighton — Until the introduction of Caco, this 

 was regarded as the highest in quality of all 

 hardy Grapes. The medium-sized berries are 

 wine-red, and the bunches run somewhat larger 

 than those of Caco. Ripens in mid-season. 2 

 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. 



Champagne — An exceptionally prolific bearer of 

 amber colored clusters. Because of its rather 

 thin skin it is particularly useful for home gar- 

 dens. Of strong constitution, it is practically 

 immune to attacks of fungus diseases and it has 

 proven so hardy everywhere that it has never 

 been known to winter kill. It bears immense 

 crops of medium size bunches, while the indi- 

 vidual berries are very large. The quality is 

 exceptionally high, the flavor very sweet and 

 sugary — altogether it is an ideal sort for making 

 a delicious wine or grape juice. It also has few 

 equals as a table variety. 2 years, each, 75c; 

 dozen, ^7.50; 100, ^50.00. Heavy fruiting age 

 vines, each, ^1.50; dozen, ^15.00. 



Campbell's Early — A superb early-ripening black 

 Grape. Produces extra large bunches of fruit 

 that is not only attractive in appearance, but of 

 superb quality. Because it is lacking in pollen, 

 this sort should be planted near some va- 

 riety that is free in pollen. Diamond is ex- 

 cellent for this purpose. Incidentally, the two 

 sorts form a great combination of highest quaHty 

 fruits. 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, ^7.50. 



CATAWBA — The standard red Grape of eastern 

 America. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and pro- 

 ductive. Clusters large, long, and broad. Ber- 

 ries of medium size, dull purplish-red wich thick 

 bloom; firm. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. 



Concord — Best known and most popular va- 

 riety in America. It succeeds practically every- 

 where. Its large black berries are borne in large
