WRAGG CHERRIES 
Select Cherries, continued 
Double Glass. We received this variety from Prof. Budd, of Ames. One past 
season we sent him a package of the fruit from our trees and here is his reply. "The 
variety sent is Double Glass. It is as large as the Yellow Spanish of California and the 
South, heart-shaped, bright yellow in color and sweet. It was found by the writer in 
1882 in North Silesia and imported under the name of ' Doppelte glebe glasskirrche.' 
The name comes from the large yellow fruits grown in pairs and often in triplets. It 
is fully as hardy at Ames as the Early Richmond, and indeed, hardier, as we have 
trees in Ames 15 years old and there is not an Early Richmond of that age left." One- 
year buds, 6 to 7 feet, 40 cts.; 5 to 6 feet, 35 cts.; 4 to 5 feet, 30 cts. 
Dyehouse. Medium size; rich, juicy and of good quality when fully ripe; very 
productive, a little earlier than Richmond. Has become a standard variety. 
Baldwin. A very promising variety of the Morello type; a vigorous, healthy tree; 
with thick rugose leaves, very resistant to leaf diseases. Fruit round, dark red, medium 
size, small stone; quality good. 
Wragg. This is a sturdy grower and an immense bearer of large, handsome, dark- 
colored fruit, which ripens early in July. A fine, healthy, hardy tree. 
Ostheim. A hardy Cherry, imported from Russia. It has been tested extensively 
in the Mississippi valley and has proven to be perfectly hardy. Fruit large, roundish, 
oblate. Flesh reddish, tender, juicy, mild, subacid, almost sweet; very good. The 
king of all good Cherries of the Morello class. 
English Morello. Medium to large; blackish red; rich, acid, juicy and good; 
one of the best in our list; very productive; tree a moderate grower; season, July. 
Compass Cherry. See Hybrid Plums. 
SELECT GRAPES 
The grape is one of the most highly prized, as well as one of the most wholesome 
fruits, and it is adapted in some of its varieties to nearly all portions of the country, 
and with a little care and attention can be raised on every farm and in every garden. 
It can be grown by any one who has a garden, a yard or a wall; can be confined 
to a stake, tied to a trellis, trained over an arbor, or allowed to cover a tree or building. 
Generally the vines do best trained on a trellis, and where the winters are severe they 
should be pruned in the fall, laid down and covered with soil. 
The grape should be planted on well-drained land. They will not thrive over a cold, 
wet and stiff subsoil. Prepare the land in which to set Grapes by plowing and subsoiling 
just as deep as the tools can be run. Then dig big holes in which the roots can spread
