Grapes— Seven Selected Sorts 



Grapes are grown in all parts of the world, north and south, on high land 

 and on low; they seem to thrive nearly as well in one place as in another. The 

 kind of soil makes little difference, though it is probable that a heavy clay is 

 better than a sandy soil. Vines thrive among rocks, on steep hillsides, and on 

 rich bottom lands. Drainage is essential, as with all fruits, and in low pockets 

 of land frost is likely to catch blossoms. 



The newly planted vines should be mulched heavily with straw and manure, 

 for 2 feet about the vine. They require lots of nitrogen, which the mulch will 

 supply while it is saving moisture. Add whatever commercial fertilizer the 

 vines may lack, as indicated in the chapter on feeding plants. For the first 

 season the canes may be tied to stakes or allowed to run on the ground. After 

 that they should be trained on trellises to make easy the spraying, cultivating, 

 and picking. For home trellises, use the form you like or can get best. 



1 to 4 vines are sold at the each rate; 5 to 49 vines are sold at the 10 rate; 50 to 299 

 vines are sold at the 100 rate; 300 vines or more are sold at the 1,000 rate.

Black Grapes 



CONCORD Ripens the beginning of August. From sheer merit Con- 

 * cord has become the most popular Grape in the United 

 States. Taking the_ country as a whole, more Concords are now in bearing 

 than any other variety. No other Grape succeeds over such a wide area 

 or in so many different soils. It is the standard by which others are judged — 

 the standby in Grapes. New varieties may come, but they have to work 

 hard to reach the Concord standard for market purposes. Matures early, 

 bears well, ships well and sells well. Bunches big, berries juicy, sweet and 

 delicious. Concord overcomes local Grape troubles and is safe to plant.
