fruit from July until heavy freezing. This is one of the older

Beta —The Standard Hardy Grape. In the past Beta has 
been the most Avidely planted grape in the Northwest and for 
commercial purposes has proven highly 
profitable. Since its origination some 
years ago in Carver County, Minnesota!, it 
has spread rapidly throughout Minnesota 
and the adjacent states. 
Yields from onedialf to one bushel 
per vine have been obtained in well cared 
for vineyards. There has been a tremend¬ 
ous demand for jelly and grape juice the past few years and 
those who have been growing Beta and Alpha have found their 
crops highly remunerative. 
Alpha' — An Improved Beta. Although a more recent in¬ 
troduction than Beta, Alpha is forging ahead rapidly to the 
i 
front and is preferred to it by most of those who have grown 
both. It is one of the group of super-hardy grapes that has 
made commercial vineyards culture so popular and profitable 
in recent years. While Alpha is similar to Beta in size and ap¬ 
pearance, and equal to it in hardiness and yield, it is commonly 
considered to possess much higher sugar content and much 
better flavor than Beta. Originated near St. Cloud, Minnesota, 
Alpha today stands as the most popular of the commercial 
grapes for Minnesota and the Northwest.
