GRAPES 
Price, 2-year old, 15 to 25 cts. each, $10 to $20 per 
100. Extra-size, 3 years old, 30 cts. each. 
Grapes are easily grown by any one, and on the 
smallest bit of ground. There is room along any 
garden fence or walk for a dozen vines to furnish 
this most delicious of fruits for home use, from 
August until November. Training on the sides of 
building's is recommended, as the fruit is less liable 
to decay. 
The vines will fruit under unfavorable conditions, 
but good culture, pruning and spraying pay, if 
fruit of best quality is desired. Commercial grape- 
growers find it necessary to spray with Bordeaux 
Mixture, occasionally during the growing season, 
to keep in check mildew on the foliage, and rotting 
of the fruit. Protecting the clusters, as soon as 
formed, by pinning over them 2-pound paper bags, 
prevents injury from fungus, storm and birds. 
Cottage. Bunch small ; berry large, black ; pulp 
tough and sweet, A good early black variety. 
Moore's Early. Large ; black ; good flavor. 
Delaware. This early Grape is very distinct from 
all others, and worthy the care necessary to grow 
it. Bunch and berry small ; skin thin, light red, 
translucent ; exceedingly sweet and aromatic. 
Brighton. Bunch medium to large ; berries above 
medium in size, dark red ; flesh tender, with 
small pulp, of very good quality. Vine vigorous, 
productive. A hybrid, partly, of the European 
Grapes. In the foggy climate of Long Island it 
mildews, and is worthless unless sprayed with 
Bordeaux mixture. 
Lady. Bunch and berry medium size ; greenish 
yellow ; tender and sweet;. early. 
Martha. Berries large, pale yellow ; sweet and 
juicy, slightly foxy in flavor. A good early 
white Grape. 
Niagara. Bunch large, compact ; berry large ; 
skin pale yellow or white ; flesh tender and 
sweet ; vine vigorous and productive. The 
handsomest white Grape, ripening in midseason 
with Concord.
