Start 7 \[ow! Big Profits in Grapes 
CATAWBA. (tA18. 12 feet). Cluster medium coni¬ 
cal. Berries above medium, clear dark red. Skin thin, 
and tough to make good shipper. Pulp tender, juicy and 
sprightly with fine flavor. Fine for table, market 
and wine. A good variety to plant among America, 
R. W. Munson, and Fern to pollenate them. 
August 20 to 30 
BLACK SPANISH. (tM2. 16 feet). (Le Noir, 
Jacquez). Very prolific. Cluster rather open, but long 
and large. Berries small, very juicy and sprightly. 
Fine for red wine. Does well in Southwest Texas 
in semi-arid regions. In moister regions requires 
spraying to keep off mildew and black rot, to which 
it is subject. 
ELLEN SCOTT. (tM3. 12 feet). Armlong hy¬ 
bridized with Herbemont. Vine beautiful, vigorous, 
prolific. Cluster large, conical. Berry large, trans¬ 
lucent, violet, covered with delicate bloom. Skin 
thin, tough. Pulp tender, juicy and sprightly, high 
quality. Handsome table and market grape. Es¬ 
pecially valuable in West and Southwest Texas where 
European varieties will grow; is becoming a valu¬ 
able commercial variety. 
CARMAN. (fA26. 12 feet). (Post-Oak No. 1 x 
Triumph). Growth vigorous; foliage never attacked 
by leaf folder or mildew; prolific. Cluster large, 
conical, compact. Berries persistent, medium, glob¬ 
ular, black with thin bloom; skin thin, tough, never 
cracking; pulp meaty, firm, tender when ripe; rich 
quality, superior to Concord; seeds easily leaving 
pulp. 
EDNA. (*M3. 16 feet). One of handsomest grapes 
we have. Large clusters, white berries. Best quality. 
A hybrid of Armlong with Malaga. Has flavor of 
the Muscat that is good, but in this variety is su¬ 
perior. Sets fruit well, has recurved stamens. Ro- 
nalda, Ellen Scott and Armalaga are good pollenators 
for it. 
LONGFELLOW. (Perfect flowering). A30. Hy¬ 
brid of Armlong with Griesa, the latter a very fine 
Italian grape. Vine fair grower, very prolific, 
healthy. Clusters extremely large, often 10 to 12 
inches in length. Berries large, oval, persistent, 
black, of high quality. One of the most magnificent 
market and show grapes. Adapted to all varieties 
of soil and for regions as far North as Missouri. 
Will compete with foreign grapes in market.

September grapes, while ripening here the last 
week of August, and first week in September, will

nights are cool and birds have left. 
MINNIE. (fM4. 12 feet). Is a seedling of Edna, 
probably crossed with Longfellow. Cluster large, 
conical and handsome. Berry white covered with a 
bloom resembling frost. The berry is large, pulp

MARGUERITE. (tM18. 16 feet). A Post-Oak gratae 
and Herbemont hybrid. Clusters medium, berry 
medium. Pulp very tender and juicy, of best flavor.
