Why Our Grape Vines ArefStrong.fHealthy and'Productive 
A Pholograph of One of Our Bif Healthy Grape Plants 
Showing the Wonderful Root System. 
We are mishty proiul ol' the tine 
supply of Grape plants we have to 
offer this season, and we know by 
eomparison that no better plants can 
be bought anywhere, regardless of the 
price you pay for them. 
Our prrape vines are selected ri.!;ht, 
erown right, dus right and packed 
right. From the very beginning they 
have the care necessary to their long 
life and productiveness. 
The cuttings from which our plants 
are grown are scle<-ted from our own 
vineyards, and we know they are true 
to naine. Only the strongest canes are 
used for c\ittings. This a^isures a 
strong, sturdy plant. By selecting 
cuttings from our own vines, we supply 
our plants with a hardy vitality. They 
have gone through the cold weather 
test, and are more hardy than plants 
grown in warmer climates. 
After the cuttings are selected they 
must be planted at just the proper 
time, planted right and in the proper 
soil, well prepared. Our long ex- 
perience has taught us the proper 
methods for doing all this and the 
result is that our plants make an enor- 
mous growth, both in root system 
and tops. Another reason why our 
plants attain this strong growth, is 
because they are planted far enough 
apart in the nursery. If they were 
crowded the tops and roots would bo 
short and slender. 
The root system is the important 
part of any plant. The soil upon 
which our plants are grown is es- 
pecially adapted to plant growth. Our 
grape plants, like all our fruit plants, 
have a wonderful root system. "We 
know how to get them out of the 
-round unharmed, full of vitality and 
in condition to make a splendid 
growth.
