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 spade'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. 
Azlta Grape — Something New—Sweet, me¬ 
dium, five-eighths inch in diameter; flavor rather 
wild; strong growth, fair crop. A cross between 
the Beta and Wild Grape, perfectly hardy. Each, 
40c; 5 for $1.75. 
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 home. 
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. It has made 
homes beautiful and produced immense quan¬ 
tities of fruit. Each, 25c; per 5, $1.15; per 10, 
$2.00; per 25, $4.25; per 50, $7.50; per 100, 
$13.50. 
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 things considered. Ripens 
medium early, color red. Each, 25c; 5 for $1.00; 
10 for $1.85; 25 for $4.00. 
Concord Grape 
The Old Standard 
Concord Grape—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 protection. Many carloads of these are 
shipped out of different points along the Mis¬ 
souri 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, 20c; per 5, 75c; per 10, 
$1.00; per 25, $2.25; per 100, $8.00. 
Concord Grape 
Lutie, One-Third Size 
Lutie Grape—An old standard variety. 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. 
CampbelTs Early—The characteristics which 
give this black Grape its merit are high quality, 
freedom from foxiness, small seeds, earliness of 
maturity, large size and attractive appearance of 
bunch and berry. Has good keeping qualities. 
Very hardy. Each, 20c; 5 for 75c; 10 for $1.00; 
25 for $2.25; 50 for $4.25. 
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. 
Moyer Grape—A red grape, seedling from the 
Delaware. It is similar to the 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, 25c; 5 for $1.00; 10 for $1.75; 
25 for $4.00; 50 for $7.00. 
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.
