Best Collection of Hardy 
GRAPES 
Bear the Second Year 
Just what does it means to call a Grape two-year No. 1? It 
means a perfect root system, large, and well developed, a 
clean and healthy growth, and the ability to bring a good crop 
the second year. It also means that you get exactly the variety 
you order. And this is the product I am shipping out. No 
matter what you may have to pay elsewhere for grape vines, 
you cannot buy a better grade than mine. 
HARDY RED GRAPES 
PgnA For years my father has recommended this grape to 
VsctLU his friends, and with a good reason. Here is a grape 
of finest quality, the berries are exceptionally large, juicy, and 
come in good sized clusters; the color when fully ripe is a rich 
amber. However, the berries are sweet before they color up, 
and many of them are used for eating and white wine before 
they have any color. Caco is hardy anywhere in the Middle 
West, in the northern states I would recommend a light cover 
over winter, simply lay the vines down on the ground and 
cover them with dirt or straw. This is done shortly before the 
ground freezes, and after all leaves have fallen. Price, nice 
2 year stock, 30c each; 3 for 75c; 10 for $2.20; 25 for $5.00, 
postpaid. 
Afyawnm clusters usually loose, berries large, with thick 
AgaWctlll fleshy skin. Richly flavored; a good table grape. 
Ripens with Concord, but keeps longer. Price, 2 year No. 1 
plants, 25c each; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.65; 25 for $3.85, postpaid. 
f Coppery red color, purple when fully ripe. A fine 
wdiuawua variety for grape juice, heavy and profitable 
bearer. Price, 2 year No. 1 plants, 25c each; 3 for 60c. 
T npi'llp Yields as much or more than Concord, Niagara or 
Ul/lilo any other well known market variety. Very hardy 
and healthy, and the vine is a strong and robust grower, ripens 
the wood well, for next season’s bearing. The Lucille is sweet 
and of very good quality, but its crowning glory is in its size 
and compactness of its clusters. While it is an excellent 
market grape everywhere, it is indispensable in the extreme 
North where only early and extra hardy grapes succeed. Price, 
choice 2 year No. 1 plants, 22c each; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.50; 
25 for $3.25, postpaid. 
"Rpcral "RpH * have not offered this variety for a number 
XvCgctl XvCLl 0 f years, a number of my customers have 
asked me to offer this grape again, as it is an exceptionally 
hardy grape, and in high altitudes and in the extreme North it 
seems to do extra well. Wherever a grape must be exception¬ 
ally hardy plant Regal Red, Lucille and Beta, these three are 
fully hardy wherever you plant them. Regal Red is a short- 
jointed, vigorous grower, healthy and exceptionally productive; 
the quality of the fruit is good. Price, first class 2 year No. 1 
plants, 25c each; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.65; 25 for $3.85, postpaid.

HARDY BLACK GRAPES 
prkTvl The best known Black Grape that I know of. 
V^UilLUlU. Most farmers in the Middle West are making 
Concord the larger part of their grape planting. It is a hardy 
grape and bears well, yet I think everybody should have a few 
white and a few red grapes also. In Concord I am offering the 
two-year No. 1 plants and also the one-year No. 1 grade for 
those who wish to plant in large numbers. Price: 2 year No. 1 
extra heavy vines, 18c each; 3 for 45c; 10 for $1.20; 25 for $2.80; 
100 for $9.50. 2 year standard vines, 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c; 25 for 
$1.45; 100 for $5.50, postpaid. 
"Pvarlrmia The f ines t early Black Grape introduced in re- 
X 1 CU.UIii.ct C ent years. It is claimed to be fully as hardy 
as the Concord, the berries ripen even, are large size, black 
with heavy blue bloom. I think a few plants of this kind 
should be in every garden, the quality of the grape is unsur¬ 
passed. Price, extra good 2 year No. 1 plants, 38c each; 3 for 
90c; 10 for $2.65, postpaid. 
"MArkVO’a TPjjT’Itt’ Medium size clusters, rarely shouldered

good for eating as well as for grape juice and jelly. The vine

Planting 
Instructions 
My 2-year-old grape 
vines are exception¬ 
ally well rooted. For 
this reason large 
holes are necessary. 
Spread the lower set 
of roots out evenly 
at the bottom of the 
hole, fill in enough 
top-soil to come up 
to the upper root-set. 
Spread the upper set 
of roots, then fill the 
hole. 
How to Train Grapes 
to a Trellis 
Several systems are in use, the 
Kniffen system is probably the 
easiest to follow. I will de¬ 
scribe it to you. Posts are 
driven in the ground along the 
grape row. End posts are se¬ 
curely braced and anchored. 
Two wires No. 10 or No. 12 are 
stretched along the row. One 
wire about 30 inches above the 
ground, the other wire about 15 
inches higher. Of each plant 
tie two canes to the lower wire, 
and two to the upper. Each 
branch to reach about 4 feet in 
one direction. These branches 
are the framework on which the 
fruiting wood will be produced 
each year. Every spring prune 
your grape vines before the sap 
comes up. On the next page I 
will tell you how to prune. 
"'WoT’Hpri R'P en s about one week ahead of Concord. Wor- 
™ '-'■l U.C1I den is a well known market grape, and next to 
Concord and Niagara is probably the most widely planted grape. 
Price, choice 2 year No. 1 vines, 22c each; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.50;

"Rp+ 9 For arbor planting one of the finest, and the hardiest. 
JJCbct n -will cover an arbor within a short time, and with 
the dense, large and healthy foliage it will make a wonderful 
cover. The berries are of desirable quality for wine, grape 
juice or jelly. They are not as large of those of Concord. How¬ 
ever, they come in good compact bunches; the vine bears well.
