We offer a splendid stock of the most desirable Grapes for family use. Our Grapevines are carefully grown by our own 

 special methods from thoroughly well-ripened wood, and cannot be surpassed for health, vigor and early bearing. The vines 

 are strong, heavy-rooted plants, sure to grow and come quickly into bearing, and can be sent by Mail or Express. Grapes 

 should be planted in good, well-drained soil, exercising care to have all the roots spread out and firming the soil well around 

 them. We would advise that only one shoot be allowed to grow the first year, keeping the remainder pruned back as they 

 appear; this will be the foundation for a strong, vigorous vine.
