THE BEST VARIETIES 



The huge profits made by the Lake Erie and Michigan Grape growers are dependent very largely 

 on proper pruning and spraying. These are not optional with Grape growers. They are absolute neces- 

 sities that must be attended to with due thoroughness and skill. We want to sell Grape vines, but would 

 rather not sell them than to see the vines neglected and thus foredoomed to failure. 



BLACK GRAPES 



Campbell's Early. Strong, hardy and vigorous. 

 Good size; glossy black; sweet and juicy. Middle of 

 August. 25 cts. each. 



CONCORD. See picture in full natural colors 

 on page 26. From sheer merit Concord has become 

 the most popular Grape in the United States. 

 Taking the country as a whole, mere Concords are 

 now in bearing than of any other variety. No other 

 ever succeeded over such a wide area or in so many 

 different soils. It is the standard by which others 

 are judged — the stand-by in Grapes. New varieties 

 may come, but they have to work hard to reach 

 the "Concord" standard for market purposes. 

 Matures early; keeps well; ships well, and sells 

 well. Bunches big, berries handsome and large; skin 

 tender but firm; flesh juicy, sweet and delicious. 

 Concord overcomes local Grape troubles and is safe 

 toplant. 2-year vines, locts. each, 75 cts.forio, $3 

 per 100, $25 per i ,000. i-year vines, $5 per i ,000 less. 



Champion. 2-yr. vines, loc. ea., 75cts. for 10, $4 

 per 100, $30 per 1,000; i-yr. vines, $5 per 1,000 less. 



King. Same color as Concord, but more prolific 

 and clusters and berries larger. Pulp tender, of 

 sprightly flavor; few seeds. Awarded highest 

 prizes. 2-year vines, 50 cts. each, $5 for 10. 



MOORE'S EARLY. Illustrated in natural 

 colors on page 26. Ripens a little before Concord. 

 Berries large and fine; very black; bunches medium- 

 sized, held together firmly ; flesh pulpy, better than 

 medium quality; flavor needs no apology anywhere. 

 Stands handling and shipping well, and has an 

 established reputation on all markets. Vines 

 healthy and hardy, thrive in almost any soil or 

 climate where Grapes will grow at all. Valuable 

 market variety and for commercial planting per- 

 haps leaves very little to be desired. 2-year vines, 

 10 cts. each, 75 cts. for 10, [I4 per 100,^30 per 1,000; 

 I -year vines, $5 per 1,000 less.

Niagara. Leading white market variety. Bunch and 

 berry large, greenish white, changing to pale yellow when 

 fully ripe. Quality excellent. August. Is the most largely 

 planted of all varieties and occupies the same position 

 among grapes that Kieffer does among pears, or Elberta 

 among peaches — universally adaptable and dependable, — 

 a money-maker always. 2-year vines, 10 cts. each, 75 cts. 

 for 10, $5 per lOO.

 $4 per 100. 



The lot of 230 or more trees I received of you last spring 

 were, I believe, a little the best I ever bought, and I think 

 every one of them grew with the exception of one bunch. I am 

 very well pleased with the trees and they are doing finely. — E. 

 B. Zimmerman, Marshallville, Ohio. 



The trees and grape vines received in excellent condition. I 

 am very much pleased with them, and when I am in the mar- 

 ket again for trees you can be sure of my order. What I got 

 are very strong and healthy and it is a pleasure to have them. 

 Mr. Freely who has a place near mine at Suitland, Md., spoke 

 m the highest terms of your trees. — J. L. May, Washington, 



I have received your book, "How to Grow and Market 

 Fruit," for which I thank you very much. I believe it to be 

 about the best I have ever read on the subject. Everything 

 in it is practical and in a clear, concise form; not only does it 

 tell what to do, but it also tells why we do it. It is a very 

 good idea I have failed to note in other publications of a sim- 

 ilar nature, and it makes one feel that he is not working in 

 the dark.— W. Flick, West Berlin, N. J.

In a loo-acre vineyard. Why don't you have a 

 field like this?
