THE NECTARINE 
There is a prevailing opinion among many 
people that the Nectarine is a hybrid, the result 
of crossing the peach with some other fruit, while 
really it is nothing more or less than a smooth¬ 
skinned peach of extraordinary flavor. 
For canning, drying, and shipping, it has so 
many points in its favor that it is difficult indeed 
to comprehend why planters have not engaged in 
nectarine culture more extensively than they have. 
Gower—-Early July; the earliest Nectarine, 
large, round; skin pale green overspread with deep 
red; flesh is white, sweet and juicy; the earliness 
and firmness of the fruit makes it a good mar¬ 
ket variety. 
Gold Mine—August; this new Nectarine from 
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful fruits 
grown: large red and yellow fruits, with juicy 
white flesh. 
Stanwick—August: the leading Nectarine; fruit 
large: skin pale green, shaded purplish-red; flesh 
white and juicy, of delicious, aromatic flavor. 
Lipiatt’s Late Orange —August; in appearance 
and quality, one of the finest Nectarines ever 
grown; very large; golden orange-yellow inside and 
out: firm and sweet; a recent introduction from 
New Zealand.

GRAPES 
How to train grape vines —Set a post 6J feet 
long. 2 feet in the ground, placing a crossarm 
2 feet long at top: place these posts every 20 feet 
along the rows, putting 2 strings of wire upon the 
ends of the crossarm. Tie the single stem of vine 
up between these wires, the branches of the vine 
then forming on these 2 wires an arbor, shading 
the fruit and vine, and being easily sprayed. Prune 
heavily in February, before the sap starts. A 
straight stake by each vine is sufficient for the 
first year. 
The American varieties of grapes after the first 
to second year, should be pruned back severely 
every year, in December or January, leaving two 
or three eyes or buds of the last season’s growth on 
each new shoot. 
The Vinifera varieties of grapes should/ be 
pruned back so far as to form thick bodies or 
trunks 3 to 4 feet high with short heavy branches, 
and not allowed to form vine on trellis or other 
support. 
All of our plants are being grown from our own 
bearing vineyards; come and see them in June and 
the first part of July and taste them yourself.

American Grapes 
. a 
The American varieties are those native to our 
country, including their hybrids, and crosses. Gen¬ 
erally speaking, they are best adapted to those 
sections of the South not mentioned under the 
heading of Vinifera. 
Black Spanish —July; mediium to small, black 
berry; bunch large; hardy. 
Carman —Dark red, fine quality; for hardiness 
and regular crops, we consider this the equal of 
Herbemont and Black Spanish, and it is larger.
