The grape is the most healthftil of all fruits, and the most highly esteemed for its: 
many uses. It can be grown by everyone who has a garden, a yard or a wall. It can 
be confined to a stake, bound to a trellis, traineti over an arbor or extended until it 
cover.s a large tree or building, and still it yields its graceful bunches, and luscious, 
blooming fruit. Capable of most extraordinary results under wise man/tge:nent. it is 
prone also to give the greatest disappointment under bad culture or neglect. Other 
fruits may be had from plants that know no care, but grapes are to be had only through 
attention and forethought. 
Plant in rows eight to ten feet apart and eight feet apart in the row. Dig holes suffi- 
ciently large to amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use only fine surface soil 
in filling in. mixing it with a little gronud bone. Cut back one-year vines to two eyes, 
placing the lower one beneath the surface; cut back twt)-vear vines to three or four eves 
putting two or three eyes below the surface. Spread 'the roots out, after trimming 
them; place the stock ol the vine at one side of the hole and fill up with soil, pressing 
down firmly with the feet. Keep old wood trimmed off. growingfrnit on new canes. Auv 
pruningthat will admit the sun and air to thefruitwill insurcacrop. .\o fruit should be 
allowed to remain on the vines until the third year, when with good culture each vine 
should produce H to 4 pounds, and a bountiful crop each succeeding year.

Bda (See Cut.) This valuable variety originated in this state a few years since,

native wild kind. The vine is verv thriftv and hardv, withstanding our severest win- 
ters without protection and without injury. The fruit is jet black, of medium size, borne 
in compact, well-shouldered bimehes. It ripens before frost, and is of most delicious 
quahtj-. It is a most productive variety, seldom failing to bear immense crops of choice 
fruit. As a market sort it is bound to become most popular, and for the home garden

fine quality and its early ripening properties combine to render this Minnesota variety a 
boon to the fruit growers of the Northwest. 1 year 3sc, 2 years joc, postpaid.
