Grapes 
Grape growing is becoming very popular and we can grow the 
hardy kinds to perfection with just a little care. No matter how 
hardy the variety is, a little covering during the winter will give 
at least twice the yield. Lay the vines down and cover them with 
dirt or other litter or plant them where the snow collects. Trim 
back severely every spring. If you wish-to try out and experi¬ 
ment with the more tender varieties like Concord, Deleware, Lucile 
or Worden, we can get them for you. State number and kind wanted. 
BETA —Is a cross between tame and wild, hardy, prolific and 
fine for cooking and jelly. Color similar to Concord.

Price on all Grapes, each 25c; per 5 or more, 20c each; per 10 or more, 
15c each. 
Strawberries 
Strawberry plants must be set out in well subdued soil and must be well 
cultivated and if the season is dry, irrigated as the fruit is mostly water 
and must have that element to mature its fruit to perfection. After the 
ground is frozen in the fall the plants must be covered lightly with some 
coarse litter and gradually raked off in the springtime. 
Red Raspberries 
While it is not absolutely necessary, a light 
covering during winter, or planted where the 
snow will bank around them, will give more 
berries.
