The grape is the most healthful of all fruits, and the most highly esteemed for its 

 many uses. It can be grown by everyone who has a garden, a yard or a wall. It can 

 be confined to a stake, bound to a trellis, trained over an arbor or extended until it 

 covers a large tree or building, and still it yields its graceful bunches, and .luscious, 

 blooming fruit. Capable of most extraordinary results tinder wise management, it is 

 prone also to give the greatest disappointment under bad culture or neglect. Other 

 fruits may be had from plants that know no care, but grapes are to be had only throtigh 

 attention and forethought. 



Plant in rows eight to ten feet apart and eight feet apart in the row. Dig holes suffi- 

 ciently large to amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use only fine surface soil 

 in filling in, mixing it with a little .ground bone. Cut back one-year vines to two eyes, 

 placing the lower one beneath the surface; cutback two-year vines to three or four eyes, 

 putting two or three eyes below the surface. Spread the roots out, after trimming

D^f-n (See Cut.) This valuable variety originated in this state a few years since, 

 '-'^*'**» and has already jumped into great prominence with the fruit growers of 

 the state. It is supposed to be a cross between some largelj' cultivated sort and a 

 native wild kind. The vine is very thrifty and hardy, withstanding our severest win- 

 ters without protection and without injury. The fruit is jet black, of medium size, borne 

 in compact, well-shouldered bunches. It ripens before frost, and is of most delicious 

 quality. It is a most productive variety, seldom failing to bear immense crops of choice 

 fruit. "As a market sort it is bound to become most popular, and for the home garden 

 it is unsurpassed. Its hardy nature, its thrifty growth, its great productiveness, its- 

 fine quality and its early ripening properties combine to render this Minnesota variety a
