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 
buildings 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.

cides, will produce perfect results.
