Select Grapes, continued 
out without crossing or doubling them up. Any good, ordinary farm land will produce 
fine Grapes in Iowa. Eight feet apart each way is a very good distance to set them; 6 by 
8 will do but more is better. Cut back to two buds the first year and rub oflf all others 
as they appear. The first autumn, cut back to four or six buds and cover the vine with 
earth. Let two canes grow the second year, and in the autumn cut one of them back 
to three buds and the other to the length of about four feet to bear. This severe pruning 
gives them a strong root before allowing them to bear. Give them thorough, clean sur- 
face cultivation and you will be richly rewarded. The excellent start that our young 
Grape Vines receive explains much of their success. 
Concord. Black. This has been for many years the Grape for general planting. 
Bunch and berry large. Medium early. Vine very hardy and healthy. 2-year, No. i, 
10 cts. each, 90 cts. per doz., $7 per 100. 
Delaware. A noble variety; in quality most exquisite; does well here if given a little 
winter protection. Bunch and berry quite small, but of most beautiful, compact form. 
Color light red; very sweet, juicy and highly flavored. This is considered one of the best, 
if not the best American Grape. 2-year, No. i, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
Moore's Early. Black. This is very valuable. Growing in favor each year. One 
of the most profitable for market. Two or three weeks earlier than Concord. Bunch 
medium. Berries larger than Concord. Should b& in every gardeift 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz., $10 per 100. 
Campbell's Early. This much-lauded Grape does not adapt itself to the con- 
ditions prevailing in our vineyard; such varieties as Moore's Early, Worden and Con- 
cord occupying rows alongside of it, receiving the same care, are more than one hundred 
times more profitable; in fact, it has not (and is making strong promises not to do so) 
yet paid the original cost of the vines. 2-year, No. i, 25 cts. each, $2.75 per doz. 
Agawam. Fine, large, red, borne in clusters of good size; excellent quality, aromatic 
flavor, peculiar to this variety. Strong growing vine and very productive. Should have 
winter protection in this locality. 2-year, No. i, 10 cts. eachi ?! per doz., $S per 100. 
Brighton. Dark Red. One of 
the most desirable of the early red 
Grapes. Should be planted near 
other varieties, as its blossoms do 
not always fertilize when alone. 
This variety should have winter 
protection. 2 -year. No. I, 10 
cts. each, $1 per doz., $8 per 
100. 
Moore's Diamond. This new 
Grape has evidently come to stay. 
Color white; berries large, with 
whitish bloom; skin thin; flesh 
melting, juicy and sweet to the 
center. Vine a strong grower and 
abundant bearer; healthy and very 
hardy. 2-year, No. «, 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz., |8 per 100. 
Worden. The best of all black 
Grapes, and the most productive 
and satisfactory of all varieties. 
A strong grower, heavy yielder; 
healthy foliage; of excellent quality, 
ripening early. It should be the first 
to be selected in making a garden 
selection. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., 
$7.50 per 100. 
Wyoming. One of the earliest 
red Grapes. Bunch and berry rather 
small. Vine healthy, hardy and 
moderately vigorous. Very pro- 
ductive; sweet and desirable. 2-year 
No. I, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.,
