Linn County Nursery 
Grapes 
There is not a yard so small but there is room tor from one to a dozen grape vines. 
Thev 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 used for making grape juice makes it almost impossible to have an over- 
production of this fruit. Any well-drained land wiill produce grapes. 
Plant them in rows, 6 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. 
Diamond (Moore's Diamond) — Large, round 
and greenish-white; sweet, juicy and 
very good. Healthy, vigorous and pro- 
lific and very hardy. One of the best 
of the white varieties. 
Moore's Early — Black; berries large to 
very large, round; very sweet and good. 
Two to three weeks earlier than Concord. 
This variety grows in favor every year; 
one of. the most profitable for market 
and should be in every garden. 
Niagara — White; large to very large; melt- 
ing, sweet, with a peculiar, agreeable 
flavor. Hardy and productive. The best 
and most satisfactory of white grapes 
for all purposes. 
Pocklington — White; -very large and 
showy; sweet and good. Vigorous and 
hardy. Ripens with Concord. 
Regal — Large, dark red and juicy. Bunches 
large and compact. One of the hardiest 
red grapes and very prolific. One year 
vines only. 
Woodruff Red (Woodruff) — Large to very 
large; very sweet and good. A little 
earlier than Concord. Very vigorous, 
hardy and healthy. 
Wurden — Black; berry and bunch large and 
compact. Sweeter, better, and a little 
earlier than Concord. A strong grower, 
heavy yielder, healthy and hardy. The 
best and most satisfactory variety to 
plant for home use or market.

matic, sweet and good. Very vigorous 
and productive. Needs winter protection. 
Beta — A small to medium sized black 
grape, quite acid but of good quality. 
Very early, prolific and healthy. It is 
valuable chiefly for its hardiness. It is 
hardy without proection far into Minne- 
sota, 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- 
tl in. 
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 standard 
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.
