VITIS • GRAPE 
All the Grapes arc indispensable vines of many uses. Their large-cut, handsome 
leaves and showy fruit, as well as very fragrant flowers which come early, combine to 
give them a place filled by no other vines. Of great hardiness and usually high, 
climbers, they can be used for arbors, walls and trellises, and particularly for covering 
dead or growing trees where they produce a beautiful effect by their graceful festooned 
growth. They stand the smoke and soot of cities well.
