IF NOT, WHY NOT PLANT THEM THIS YEAR? 
69 
The vine is a strong grower, has plenty of foliage to protect the grap©6 
from sunburn, and is long lived. The bunches are large, often weighing as 
much as ten pounds. The berries are large, oval in shape, having a yellowish 
green skin which is quite thick. The flesh is firm and of excellent quality. 
We do not hesitate to recommend the Malaga for commercial planting. It 
ripens in most sections about the middle of August. However, its time of 
ripening varies considerable, owing to the sections in which planted. While 
the Malaga can be profitably grown in all sections of California it is particu¬ 
larly adapted to the valley and foothill sections. Ripens in August.

Black Morocco A beautiful black colored grape when fully ripe and is 
highly recommended for market and shipping purposes 
on account of its fine appearance, good keeping qualities, and lateness of 
ripening. 
The bunches are of medium size rather closely set with large oval shaped 
berries of black color. The flesh is firm, juicy and of excellent flavor. 
The attractive appearance of the Black Morocco causes it to sell on sight 
when placed in fruit stands either in the east or west. Ripens last of October. 
Chasselas de Fontainbleau 
Is widely known throughout the United 
States as the “White Sweetwater.” It is 
largely planted for home purposes and for local market uses and is one of the 
best of the early varieties. 
The bunches are large, berries of medium size, greenish in color, but turn¬ 
ing to a beautiful yellow when fully ripe. The skin is thin, flesh tender, 
juicy and highly flavored. 
On account of its early ripening and fine flavor this variety is highly recom¬ 
mended for family use. Ripens late in July. 
Oros Colman The Gros Colman is one of the largest grapes known. It 
has been largely cultivated in England, Belgium and 
France, where it is said to grow extremely large and reaches the highest stage 
of perfection. Aside from its unusual size (which is often classed with that 
of the Damson plum) it is of a very dark almost black color, covered with a 
light blue bloom, which makes it exceedingly attractive. 
The bunches are large, rather loose and quite long. The flesh is firm and 
has a very pleasant vinous flavor. Although Gros Colman has not been 
planted very extensively in California, in the Sacramento and San Joaquin 
valleys it is well recommended for its size, keeping qualities, and attractive 
appearance. It is recommended by many table grape growers as worthy of 
extensive cultivation. Ripens in November. 
Rose of Peril The Rose of Peru is known also as the Black Prince. The 
vine is a strong grower, producing large shouldered 
bunches. The berries are large, round and black with a firm and crackling 
flesh of fine quality. It is not adapted for a long distance shipping grape but 
is highly suited for the home collection. Ripens about October 1st.

Aramon The Aramon in addition to being an excellent wine grape is ex¬ 
tensively planted and used as a table variety. In Southern France 
where it is extensively planted, it is a decided favorite for wine purposes. 
The vine is a strong vigorous grower and a very heavy bearer. The bunches 
are large and cylindrical in shape with large bluish black berries. 
To anyone desiring a grape in the home grounds which can be used both 
as a table grape and for the making of wine, we recommend this variety. 
Ripens in September. 
Feher ZagOS This is one of the most valuable of the white wine varieties, 
6 and while used chiefly for the making of that product, also 
makes a fairly good raisin when dried.
