Linn County Nursery 
Grapes 
There Is not a yard so small but there is room for from one to a dozen grape vines. 
They may be trained on a building-, arbor or fence if necessary, and they will richly 
reward the planter with an abundance of the most healthful fruit. The great quantity 
of grapes now used for making grape juice makes it almost impossible to have an over- 
production of this fruit. Any well drained land will produce grapes. 
Plant them in rows, G to 8 feet or more apart. Dig holes so as not to have to fold 
the roots in planting and cut back the top to two buds. Prune off most of the new 
growth each fall and lay down the vines and cover with dirt for winter protection in 
the North. 
Agawnm — Red; large to very large, 
aromatic, sweet and good. Very vig- 
orous and productive. Needs winter 
protection. / 
Betn — A, small to medium sized black 
grape, quite acid but or good quality. 
Very early, prolific and healthy. It is 
valuable chiefly for its hardiness. It is 
hardy without protection far into 
Minnesota, and on this account it is 
especially valuable for arbors where 
the large varieties are a little too tender. 
Brighton. — Red; large, sweet and delicious. 
Should be planted with other varieties 
to secure pollination. Requires protec- 
tion. 
Campbell's Early — Black; very sweet, 
juicy and good. This variety does not 
seem to be adapted to this part of the 
country. In our vineyard the vines have 
not paid for themselves and do not 
promise to do so. 
Concord — Black. The well known stan- 
dard variety for all purposes. Size 
medium; succeeds wherever grapes are 
known. 
Delaware — Light red; bunch and berry 
small and compact; very sweet and 
highly flavored. Best in quality of all 
American grapes. Needs winter protec- 
tion for good results.
