GRAPES 
Beta Grapes Will Grow Anywhere Perfectly Hardy 
All heavy No. 1 plants. A row of grape vines 
In your garden will produce more profit, 
enjoyment and beauty than any other known 
fruit. 
Instructions for planting and care: One of 
the most satisfactory fruits, and can be grown 
anywhere. For the extreme north use the hardiest 
varieties, as the Beta. As you go farther south 
take standard varieties, as the Concord. They 
kill easily if left unprotected while out of the 
ground. When you receive the grape, it will have 
very long roots. These should be cut back to 
about 6 inches in length. The hole should be 
dug a soade’s depth, and the roots spread out 
on the bottom of this hole. See that the earth is 
worked in well among the roots. Pack well, cul¬ 
tivate and fertilize, and you will have best re¬ 
sults. A trellis will be needed the second year 
after planting. 
Beta Grape—The people moving north regret 
the loss of their grapes, which are wonderfully 
attractive and refreshing in the late summer. 
Many the heartache and sigh of disappointment 
when the housewife finds she cannot grow 
grapes on her new homestead or northern hoine. 
The Beta changes all this, as it will grow readily 
in North Dakota without covering; not only 
grow, but produce as much fruit per vine as the 
large varieties in the East, rapid growers often 
making a growth of 15 to 20 feet in a single 
season. Extremely valuable for covering summer 
houses, outbuildings or fences. We recognized 
the value of this new grape when it was intro¬ 
duced. It has made homes beautiful and pro¬ 
duced immense quantities of fruit. Each, 20c; 
per 5, 95c; per 10, $1.80; per 25, $3.25; per .50, 
$5.75; per 100, $10.00. 
Champion—One of the earliest of the large 
black grapes. With winter protection these can 
be successfully grown in most parts of North 
Dakota. Very productive, vines vigorous and 
hardy. Each, 20c; 10 for $1.35; 50 for $5.00. 
Caco—One of the most delicious of all grapes. 
Wine red or amber. Ripens ten days to two 
weeks earlier than the Concord. Fine, very 
strong, vigorous growers, healthy and prolific. 
Each, 30c; per 5, $1.35; per 10, $2.35. 
Delaware—One of the finest table grapes, 
bunches not large, compact, well shouldered, 
berries rather small, juicy and sweet without 
any hard pulp. Spicy flavor, probably the best 
American grape, all thiijgs considered. Ripens 
medium early, color red. Each, 25c; 5 for $1.00; 
10 for $1.85; 25 for $4.00. 
There will be real money in furs this year.

Lutie Grape—An old standard variety. Out 
of twenty-five varieties of grapes that we are 
growing in our trial grounds the Lutie Grape 
has led for two years. The Lutie is very vigorous 
and produces more fruit than any other variety 
in the trial grounds. It is a red grape, earlier 
than the Concord and probably more hardy. 
There is no reason why you cannot grow large 
quantities of these grapes, as there are but few 
fruits, if any, that will produce more fruit per 
square foot than grapes. Try ten of these. 
Each, 20c; 5 for 90c; 10 for $1.70. 
Moore Early—Similar to Concord, equally as 
hardy and at least ten days_ earlier. Very 
productive in rich soil. Each, 25c; 10 for $1.75; 
50 for $6.00. 
Concord Grape 
Lutie, One-Third Size 
Moyer Grape—-A red grape, seedling from the 
Delaware. It is similar to the above described 
Delaware, is more free from rot and mildew, and 
the berries and bunches are larger. Flavor, rich 
and sweet, without a trace of foxiness. The fruit 
keeps and ships well. This grape was originated 
in Canada and is highly thought of, proving 
perfectly hardy everywhere the Concord is grown 
and possibly standing even more cold. Two 
weeks earlier than the Delaware, especially fine 
for the north. Each, 25c; 5 for $1.00; 10 for 
$1.85; 25 for $4.00. 
Niagara—Large, slightly oval; pale yellow 
fruit, covered with a white bloom; the quality is 
equal to the Concord and it is the standard 
white grape of the country. Bunches are large 
and compact. Vine vigorous, hardy and very 
productive. Each, 20c; 5 for 90c; 10 for $1.50; 
25 for $3.00; 50 for $5.00. 
Worden—Larger than Concord and ten days 
earlier. Hardy, healthy, vigorous and productive. 
Large bunches, dark purplish-black. Especially 
good on account of its earliness. Each, 20c; 10 
for $1.50; 50 for $5.00; 100 for $9.00. 
Concord Grapes 
The Old Standard 
There are, no doubt, more Concord Grapes 
produced in the United States than all others 
together. This Grape is almost too well known 
to need a description. Large, color purplish- 
black, very hardy, productive, ripening about 
the middle of September. An excellent market 
grape. Mr. H. J. Gurney sold Mr. Henry 
Becker of Elk Point a number of Concord 
Grapes about thirty years ago. These- Grapes 
have produced each season without winter pro¬ 
tection. Many carloads of these are shipped out 
of different points along the Missouri River 
in Nebraska. Grapes will produce'more fruit 
than any other plant with but little extra care. 
They blossom late and escape late frosts. You 
can depend on a crop at least eight years out of 
ten. We are offering strong plants, two years old. 
Each, 15c; per 5, 75c; per 12, $1.00; per 25, 
$2.00; per 100, $6.00. 
If your watch needs repairs, our men can do 
the job for less than you’d pay elsewhere. 
No charge over $2.50.
