SMALL FRUIT PLANTS WILL REPAY 
produces as much as four tons to the 
acre; in sections throughout the north¬ 
ern part of the state it has proven to 
be much more resistant to mildew 
than any other variety. 
One of the strongest features, in 
favor of the Sultana, is the fact that it 
is much favored by bakeries, confec¬ 
tioners and housewives on account of 
its tart flavor which takes or fills the 
place which was once occupied by the 
imported dried currant. The bunches 
are large and compact, round and 
greenish in color but should be left 
until quite yellow before picking for 
drying. Ripens in August.

Thompson Seedless Mr * w 
r Thompson, 
Sr., of Yuba City, Cal., procured the 
cuttings of this variety in the year 
1878, from Elwanger & Barry, a New 
York State Nursery Company, who 
stated that the cuttings were secured 
by them from Constantinople, Turkey. 
In the foothill sections and early 
ripening sections it has been found 
exceedingly valuable for early ship¬ 
ment. The bunches are long and com¬ 
pact and withstand shipping well. 
The berries are oval in shape, greenish yellow in color, turning to bright 
yellow when fully ripe. They contain no seeds whatever and their keeping 
qualities are of the best. 
The Thompson can, no doubt, be grown over a larger variety of soils than 
any other grape, having given satisfactory results in heavy soils, sand soils 
and also soils where the alkali is too strong for any other raisin grapes to 
withstand. 
As a raisin it is easily picked, dries quickly, and contains a large percentage 
of sugar. The bunches sometimes grow so large it is found necessary to cut 
them in several places, in order to aid the process of drying. 
On account of the large plantings and the enormous profits received through 
the plantings of this variety we feel we cannot recommend it too highly. 
Ripens middle of August.

Plants 56,000 Vines—All Doing Well 
[From John F. Wallace, Vineyardist, College City, Cal.] 
“This last spring I put out over 56,000 seedless grape vines from your nur¬ 
sery, which were put in under all kinds of weather conditions. They all gave 
a fine growth and are doing well. They surely were a nice lot of vines and 
were very satisfactory.”

Agawam The Agawam is the best red grape of the Americana or Eastern 
6 grapes and flourishes in the warm interior valleys. 
The vine is vigorous, productive and bears a very heavy foliage. The 
bunches are large and shouldered. The berries are round reddish brown in 
color, tender, juicy and of excellent quality. Those desiring one of the best 
of the “slip skin” type of grapes will find this variety very satisfactory.
