GRAPES 
Moore’s Early 
Friends, there isn’t a farm or home 
in the country that doesn’t have some 
space where you can plant Grape 
Vines because they thrive and do 
well on your poorest soil. Too rich a 
soil often produces vine growth 
rather than fruit. Every Grape I list 
here is hardy all through the Central 
West. I am fruiting every variety on 
my own grounds and getting results, 
and you can do as well. The prices 
are low. For jellies, jams, canning, 
and for eating as fresh fruit, there is no 
fruit that excels big, luscious, juicy 
Grapes, and the plants will last a life¬ 
time. 
Grape Vines should be planted 8 feet 
apart. 
You will find complete cultural direc¬ 
tions for Grapes in my “How To Plant 
Book” that goes free with each nursery 
order. 
BLACK GRAPES 
★ CONCORD. The standard bluish- 
black grape. Juicy, sweet, tender 
and hardy. Very productive and the 
most widely planted of all grapes. Ex¬ 
cellent for grape juice, wine, table use, 
canning and market. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Very early. Bunch is 
medium, berries very large. Its earli¬ 
ness makes it desirable for an early 
market, and it is particularly adapted 
-to the northern portions of the United 
States. Ripens two weeks before Con¬ 
cord. 
WORDEN. Worden is another seedling 
of Concord, but is sweeter, larger and 
the fruit will ripen about ten days 
earlier than Concord. 
The Grape 
for the Extreme North 
BETA. Beta is a medium sized black 
Grape, quite acid, very early, prolific 
and healthy, and does exceptionally 
well far into Minnesota. It is a very 
fine Grape for jelly, Grape juice and wine. Beta is also a 
splendid Grape to use in covering arbors. Very hardy. 
Niagara 
WHITE GRAPES 
DIAMOND. Just as hardy as Concord. Very sweet and delight¬ 
ful flavor. Ripens ten days after Moore's Early. Recom¬ 
mended as the best white Grape for planting anywhere Con¬ 
cord can be grown. 
BUSH FRUITS 
NIAGARA. This is the standard white 
Grape, occupying the same position 
among the white varieties as Concord 
among the blacks. Bunch and berries 
large, green changing to pale yellow 
when fully ripe. Excellent for ar¬ 
bors. 
RED GRAPES 
AGAWAM. Berries large, thick skinned; 
excellent for wine making. Closely 
follows Concord.

^Portland—The New White Grape 
Portland is the new white grape. It is hardy, productive 
and very early. Its ripening season is earlier than that of 
any other grape. Very sweet and can be eaten before it is 
fully ripened. 
^Caeo 
The word Caco was selected because this grape is a 
cross between Catawba and Concord. It has the rich, wine 
red color of the Catawba and the hardiness of the Concord. 
Is a vigorous grower and ripens ten days to two weeks 
before Concord. It is no longer an experiment in the North 
Central States or the Farm Belt and is being grown suc¬ 
cessfully by grape growers along the Missouri River terri¬ 
tory from Council Bluffs, Iowa, south. I recommend this 
grape for your home use because of its sweet, sugary qual-' 
ities and excellent flavor. The prices for Portland and Caco 
Grapes are the same—this means that you can make up a 
quantity assortment of these two varieties according to 
your own requirements. 
Postpaid Prices for Portland and Caco: 
2 yr. 40c each; $1.75 per -5; $3.25 per 10. 
1 yr. 30c each; $1.25 per 5; $2.25 per 10.

B USH Fruits come into bearing 
when young. Certainly no home 
garden is complete without a 
few of each of these varieties. You can 
have fresh fruit on your table through¬ 
out the season. 
CURRANTS 
Thrifty Plants 
The Currant, from its hardiness, free 
growth, easy culture, great and uni¬ 
form productiveness, pleasant flavor, 
and early ripening, is one of the most 
valuable of our summer fruits. On 
account of the large amount of pectin 
they contain they are especially desir¬ 
able for making jellies, jams, pre¬ 
serves, pies, tarts, etc. They are easily 
grown. 
Plant four feet apart each way. 
CULTIVATION. Good cultivation 
and pruning will more than double the 
size of the fruit. Old bushes should 
have the old and stunted wood cut out, 
and thrifty shoots left at regular dis¬ 
tances. I recommend clean cultivation. 
Cherry Currant 
LIMPROVED PERFECTION. These beautiful red Cur- 
% rants with the long stems and bright red berries are 
the largest of all red varieties of currants that are grown. 
The Perfection should be in every garden in the entire 
country. 
CHERRY. Large, red berries on short cluster. Robust, fruitful 
sort. 
FAY’S PROLIFIC. The leading market Currant. Extra large 
stems and berries. Uniform in size and easily picked. 
WHITE GRAPE CURRANTS. Berries hang in beautiful white 
clusters; excellent quality and fine for table use. Sweet or 
mild acid flavor. 
Gooseberries 
There isn’t a single farm or home in 
the entire farm belt but what can have 
a half dozen Gooseberry bushes grow¬ 
ing, as they are easy to start, grow 
rapidly, and it seems like they live for¬ 
ever. There is nothing better than a 
Gooseberry pie, and the Downing will 
do well and thrive any place in the 
Middle West and clear into Canada. 
We ship our clean, hardy Gooseberries 
and Currants most anywhere. 
Set Gooseberries 3 to 4 feet apart. 
★ DOWNING. Downing is a large, 
handsome, pale green berry and 
of splendid quality. Good for both 
cooking and table use. 
HOUGHTON. This is another one of the very popular Goose¬ 
berries. It is a pale red when fully ripe. Very sweet and ten¬ 
der, and the bushes are always heavily loaded with this fruit. 
The Houghton Gooseberry is a favorite of many because of 
its very sweet flavor. 
JOSSELYN or RED JACKET. Often called the Old English 
Gooseberry. The fruit is a bright rich crimson, and I want 
to recommend this fine fruit to you for your planting.
