UvlQWul W sed for home use and to eat out' 
of'hand; every small home owner should plant at 
least a few vines. Berries are compactly set, light 
red, sugary and delicious. Is one of the very best 
red varieties, brings highest prices on any market. 
Now is the time to plant grapes for a commercial pro* 
position as the price received this year for the crop was a 
100% increase over the past four years. At this writing, 
the 20th of October, grapes are bringing 60c a jumbo; 
with a normal crop, this price will show you a gross sale 
of about $275.00 per acre. All farmers in fruit growing 
sections should devote at least a part of their land for 
grape growing purposes, realizing easy money from this 
crop at a time when other farm incomes have stopped. 
On account of the extreme drought, grape vines failed to 
make as much top growth as usual. Therefore, the tops 
will be somewhat shorter than in normal years. This does 
not affect the quality of the plants, as all tops should be 
cut back to 2 buds at planting. Root growth is most im' 
portant. Our vines are extra heavy rooted, and sure to 
satisfy.

Every Whitten-Ackerman Grape Vine is guaranteed to be true-to- 
name, free from disease and propagated from productive strains. The 
cuttings for our plants are all taken from heavy producing vines, each 
vine being selected for productiveness and size of fruit. 
When buying from us you are 
absolutely assured of getting the 
best, vines that will produce 
heavy, uniform yields year after 
year, a result that cannot be se¬ 
cured from cuttings made in a 
haphazard way, regardless of 
quality, a practice all too common 
in recent years. 
Our Grape Vines cost no more 
than others. You don’t pay for 
the added quality. You can’t afford 
to experiment with vines of un¬ 
known origin. We can’t afford to 
sell them. 
We don’t know of a single farm 
crop that can be relied on with 
the same assurance as the Grape 
harvest. Many a grower has been 
able to keep the wheels turning 
through a lean year, only because 
of his Grape crop. It’s a good in¬ 
surance for anyone.
