Chinese Date 
THREE BEST GRAPES 
These three Grapes of exceptional merit have been on the mar¬ 
ket only a few years, but have already proved their worth and 
are in increased demand each year. Ideal for the home garden 
and roadside market. 
CACO. Large bunches of wine-red grapes, very sweet and palatable. An 
excellent grower, productive and earlier than Concord. 
FREDONIA. The best extra early black grape, ripening two weeks ahead 
of Worden. Vigorous, productive and extra hardy. Large bunch and berry. 
Fruit firm, giving it long lasting qualities. 
PORTLAND. The earliest grape we have ever found. Large white grapes, 
very sweet and juicy. A strong grower and very hardy. 
Prices of CACO, FREDONIA, PORTLAND—40c each; 3 for $1.00; 12 for 
$3.80; 25 for $7.25, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, $25.00 per 100. 
HARDY CHINESE DATE 
The Chinese Date (Jujube or Zizyphus) is a fruit from the high 
interior of China, which, we are sure, will prove to be one of the 
most valuable for our country. It is adapted to a wide range of 
territory and all kinds of soil. It is quite' hardy, the United 
States Department of Agriculture bulletins reporting that it has 
withstood temperatures of 22 degrees below zero without injury. 
The tree is a heavy and constant bearer and commences to bear at an early 
age, four-year-old trees having produced 150 pounds of fruit. It blooms very 
late in the spring, avoiding all danger from spring frosts. The fruit is one to 
two inches long, and chocolate colored. It is delicious when eaten fresh or 
cured like dates, and is excellent for preserves and jam. . Cooked in a sugar 
syrup and allowed to dry it becomes a most tasty and palatable confection 
which we believe will eventually rival the date as a commercial product. Be¬ 
cause of its productiveness and its highly nutritious and delicious fruit, capa¬ 
ble of being used in many ways, it is sure to be a valuable addition to the 
orchards and gardens. Every home should have one or more trees. It likes a 
clean back yard where it is not cultivated, but will grow anywhere. We have 
but a limited supply of these trees and, as long as they last, will deliver them 
by parcel post, postpaid, at $1.25 each.
