GRAPE$^/£#^t 
Grapes grow and thrive most everywhere. Every variety I offer you is 
hardy throughout the central west. They grow and thrive even on the poorest 
soil. In fact, too rich ground often produces vine growth rather than fruit. 
Concord, Caco and Moore’s Early have records of surviving arid fruiting in 
temperatures of 35 degrees below zero. 
Diet books say the grape is the most healthful fruit of all. It makes rich 
new blood, purifies the old blood and lengthens life many, many years. Grapes 
may be made into jelly, jam, juice, canned whole and eaten as fresh fruit. 
My extra heavy select 2 yr. vines often bear 1 year after planting. 
When you plant grape vines you want fruit as soon as possible. You get it 
by planting these heavy selected 2 yr. old vines. They have a wonderful root 
system and are full of pep and vitality. They will produce big crops of big 
grapes year after year. Plant grape vines 8 feet apart. 
My “How To Plant’’ book is sent free with every nursery order. It tells you 
exactly how to plant and care for these vines. It tells how to prune them, too. 
You get these extra heavy, selected, 
2 yr. vines In this assortment for only 
10c each.

EARL'S FAMILY GRAPE 
COLLECTION 
CONCORD. The greatest grape. It is the purest, sweetest and best of all. 
It is a well balanced complete fruit, containing all of the essential ele¬ 
ments for maintaining the body at its highest efficiency. It is juicy, sweet, 
tender, hardy and most productive. Concord helps keep us immune from 
constipation, old age and disease. It is almost a “fountain of youth” in 
itself. 
MOORE’S EAREY. Very early. Bunch is medium, berries very large. Its 
earliness makes it desirable for an early market, and it is particularly 
adapted to the northern portions of the United States. Ripens two weeks 
before Concord. 
WORDEN. Worden is another seedling of Concord, but is sweeter, larger 
and the fruit will ripen about ten days earlier than Concord.

WHITE GRAPES 
DIAMOND. Just as hardy as Concord. 
Very Sweet and delightful flavor. Rip¬ 
ens ten days after Moore’s Early. Rec¬ 
ommended as the best white grape for 
planting anywhere Concord can be 
grown. 
NIAGARA. This is the standard White 
Grape, occupying the same position 
among the white varieties as Concord 
among the blacks. Bunch and berries 
large, green changing to pale yellow 
when fully ripe. Excellent for arbors.
