GRAPES 
HKRE is scarcely a yard so small in the country or city that room for from one to a dozen grape vines cannot be 
found. They do admirably, trained up the side of any building, or along the garden fences, occupying but little 
room and furnishing an abundance of the healthiest of fruit. Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines some- 
what deeper than they stood In the nursery. Plant about eight feet apart by the fence or building. 
As a commercial crop there is nothing more satisfactory. They are as reliable as a corn crop, and as staple on 
the market as wheat. When a vineyard Is once established it will be productive for a Ijfetime with ordinary care, 
and the income therefrom can be counted on almost as certainly as the changing of the season. 
Grapes do well on either gravelly, sandy or clayey soils, or on a combination of these. If planted on clay soil. It must be thor- 
oughly underdrained to secure good results. Any good, dry soil of sufllcient fertility to produce good farm crops is suitable for 
vineyard planting, if climate and exposure are favorable. 
The only necessary preparation of the soil Is to thoroughly plow and pulverize it to a depth of 12 to 18* inches. If in sod It should 
be summer-fallowed In August or September preceding planting, and again plowed

at the time of planting. At this last plowing many of our best vineyardlsts plow 
the ground into lands equal in width to the distance apart the rows are to be 
planted, and plant the vines In the dead furrows. This saves a large amount of 
labor in digging the holes. 
If the soil is naturally poor it should be given a liberal application of 
thoroughly rotted stable manure, which should be plowed in at the last 
plowing. If this cannot be had, use raw bone meal, about 
600 pounds per acre, with about 300* pounds muriate of pot- 
ash. or two tons of good, unleached hard wood ashes. It is 
not desirable to put manure or fertilizers of any kind 
in the hole when planting. The roots will quickly 
find their necessary food if It is in the soil. 
Cuncurd. — The well known standard variety. Suc- 
ceeds wherever grapes will grow. Most popular va- 
riety ever grown. 
Campbell’s Karly. — Medium grower. Large healthy 
foliage. Productive. Its keeping and shipping qual- 
ities are equalled by no other early grape. Ripens 
with Moore’s Early. Bunch and berry large, glossy, 
black with blue bloom; sweet and juicy. Seeds few 
and small. Part readily from the plup. Stands at 
the head of early grapes. 
Champion. — (Talman.) — Very early. Bunch and 
fcerry good size, thick skin, productive. Poor quality. 
Profitable owing to their earliness. 
Delaware. — Bunches small, compact, shouldered. 
Berries rather small, round, skin thin, light red. 
Sweet, spicy and delicious. Vine moderately vigor- 
ous, hardy and productive. 
Diamond. — The leading early w’hlte grape, ripening 
before Moore’s Early, white with rich yellow tinge, 
juicy, few seeds. Almost free from pulp, excellent 
quality, above medium size, adheres firmly to stem. 
V’ine like Concord in growth, hardiness and foliage. 
Fine variety for both market and home garden. 
Katon. — A seedling of the Concord of exceptionally large size, both in bunch and 
berry; showy and attractive; berries round, covered with heavy bloom. 
Early Ohio. — Very early, hardy and productive, strong thrifty grower; excel- 
lent shipping qualities. A profitable early market so*.. 
Hartford. — Early black grape, ripens with Moore’s Early, good quality, large 
bunches, strong, thrifty grow’cr and very productive; free from rot and mildew; 
if left on vines too long after they are ripe the berries are liable to fall from 
the bunches: If handled properly are profitable market variety. 
Moore's Early. — A black grape, with a heavy blue ^loom, bunch large, berry 
round. Quality better than the Concord, vine exceedingly hardy, and has been ex- 
posed to temperature of 20 degrees below zero without injury. It has been en- 
■ tlrely exempt from mildew or disease. Its earliness, good quality, and fine ap- 
pearance make it a profitable market variety. 
Niagara. — A white variety; bunch and berry very large, greenish white, chang- 
ing to pale yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin, but tough. Quality very much like 
Concord. 
Worden. — An improved Concord, being larger in both bunch and berry, hand- 
somer, nearly two weeks earlier, and of better quality, fine, vigorous, hardy and 
productive. 
Wyoming Ked. — Vine very hardy, healthy and robust, with thick, leathery 
foliage; color of berry similar to Delaware, but brighter; being one of the 
most beautiful of the amber or red grapes, and in size nearly double that of 
Delaware. Flesh tender, sweet, with a strong native aroma. Ripens before 
Delaware, the best early red market variety.
