Calif ornia > s Choicest Wine Grapes 
Alicante Bouschet. One of the most famous Wine Grapes is this splen¬ 
did variety which has sweet, bright red juice and is much used to secure 
high color when mixed with other kinds. Even the leaves turn brilliant 
red in the fall. September. 
Zinfandel. Probably the most famous Wine Grape of California, bearing 
an enormous quantity of compact bunches of very juicy, sweet, black 
Grapes. The most dependable kind for juice purposes. September. 
Mission. T. Medium size, round, sweet, black berries produced in 
enormous loose bunches. One of the old standard wine Grapes, brought 
from Spain by the Mission Fathers centuries ago. Because of its quality 
and heavy bearing habit it remains a favorite. September. 
Giant Everbearing 
Giant Everbearing. An extraordinary 
Grape of unknown origin, evidently a 
hybrid from somewhere in the Eastern 
States, which is the most rampant and 
vigorous grower that we have ever 
seen in a grape vine, young vines 
sending out 10 or 15 foot canes almost 
immediately after planting, and for 
covering an arbor or similar structure, 
there is nothing finer. It ripens its 
fruit not in one crop but over a period 
of three months, and the little bunches 
of reddish-black berries are not only 
excellent to eat but make the most 
beautiful and delicately flavored grape 
jelly and juice that we have ever 
tasted. Strong plants, 75c each. 
Rose of Peru. (Black Prince). T. Has 
large loose bunches of big round 
black berries, crisp, sweet, and richly 
flavored. Excellent for wine or table 
use and a fine arbor Grape. Sept. 
Maraville de Malaga (Molinera). A 
wonderful red market and shipping 
Grape, and unexcelled for home use 
as well. The berries are extremely 
large, round, and bright red, sweet 
and richly flavored, and so firm that 
the skin can be peeled off like an 
orange. The best red Grape for most 
purposes. September. 
Olivette Blanche. T. Great long 
greenish-amber berries as big as the 
end of your thumb and with an ex¬ 
ceedingly rich flavor. The bunches are 
large, and its heavy production and 
keeping qualities make it a fine late 
market Grape. September. 
Flame Tokay. One of the leading 
shipping Grapes of California. Berries 
rich red with lilac bloom; flesh firm, 
crisp and sweet. October. 
Gros Colman. T. Berries of this va¬ 
riety are as large as small plums, and 
are borne in immense clusters. Berries 
a rich blue, firm and crisp, and ex¬ 
tremely handsome in appearance. Oct. 
Cornichon. T. One of the best late 
shipping Grapes. The long, oval, thick- 
skinned berries are purplish-black in 
large loose bunches. Very high qual¬ 
ity. October. 
Emperor. T. Bunches large, long 
and rather loose; berry large, oblong, 
wine colored, very firm; a very late 
standard shipping Grape. October. 
Black Morocco. These great round, 
purplish black Grapes are so large 
that they resemble small plums. The 
berries are sweet and crisp and borne 
in large compact bunches. Probably 
the largest of all Grapes and so late 
that they may be picked right up to 
Thanksgiving. October.

Most Famous American Grape 
Grafted Grapes 
There are certain regions in which grape vines become 
infested with Phylloxera on the roots. This may be over¬ 
come by planting vines grafted on resistant stocks. For 
those who wish to try the California and Vinifera varieties 
of Grapes in the Eastern and other sections of the country 
where it is not too cold, we recommend that the grafted 
vines be planted since they will give much better results. 
We can furnish vines grafted on Phylloxera resistant 
stocks in the following varieties:

sweet berries, which will be eagerly 
sought after by everyone in the fam¬ 
ily because of their earliness. July.

red Eastern Grapes, the large ber¬ 
ries being firm yet tender and juicy,

cate aroma. Vigorous and produc¬ 
tive. August.

this variety, sweet and juicy, have 
just about the finest quality of any 
Eastern Grape. Early August. 
Pierce (California Concord, Isa¬ 
bella Regia). Similar to Concord, 
but the berries and bunches are 
larger and the vine is a strong 
grower. It is one of the finest of the 
American Grapes for California.

Concord. The most widely known 
and popular of all American Grapes.

nothing to excel it. August.

standard red Eastern Grape, with a 
vigorous productive vine and splen¬ 
did, high quality fruit. Late August. 
Isabella. A fine large, glossy black 
Grape, with a thick skin and a 
musky flavor, which many people 
prefer to Concord. It is a much more 
vigorous vine than Concord, with 
big leaves and bigger bunches. 
September. 
Niagara. The standard American 
green Grape, holding the same rank 
among green kinds that Concord 
holds in the blacks. Berries large, 
pale-yellow, tender, sweet and juicy.

arbor or fence quickly and get many 
fine Grapes every year, there is no 
finer variety that you can plant than

months later.
