GRAPES 
California is known the world over jor its choice [table, raisin and wine grapes. 
The eastern states produce other types of grapes, but only in California does the European 
grape, which is the finest of all thrive to perfection. Along the coast, we recommend the 
American varieties, as these ripen better in cool districts. If the European varieties 
are planted in coastal sections, one should choose the earliest ripening sorts. 
Grapevines are easily grown, and take up but little room. They are ideal for covering 
arbors and fences, and their luscious fruit provides so much pleasure for the family 
that every home should have a few vines.
