GRAPES. 
Price, 2 j T ears old, 15 to 25 cts. each, $10 to $20 per 100. Extra-size, 3 years old, 30 cts. each. 
Grapes are easily grown by any one, and on the smallest bit of ground. There is room along any garden 
fence or walk for two dozen vines to furnish 
this most delicious of fruits for home use from 
August until November. 
The vines will fruit under unfavorable con¬ 
ditions, but good culture, pruning and spray¬ 
ing pay, if fruit of best quality is desired. Pro¬ 
tecting the clusters as soon as formed by a 
2-pound paper bag, prevents injury from fun¬ 
gus, storm and birds. 
Cottage. Bunch small ; berry large, black ; 
pulp tough, sweet. A good early black 
variety. 
Moore’s Early. Large ; black ; good flavor. 
Delaware. This early Grape is very distinct 
from all others, and worthy the care neces¬ 
sary to grow it. Bunch and berry small ; 
skin thin, light red, translucent; exceedingly 
sweet and aromatic. 
Brighton. Bunch medium to large; berries 
above medium in size, dark red ; flesh tender, 
with small pulp of very good quality. Vine

unless sprayed with Bordeaux mixture.

In pruning and training vines on trellis, as shown above, 
a new one-year-old cane, three to four feet long, is tied to each wire 
each way. See page i.
