Grow With Little Care—Bear Fruit Every Year 
No fruit has gained more favor in the last few years for commercial planting 
than Grapes. There has always been a good demand for Grapes in the home vine¬ 
yards, but now Grapes are being extensively planted commercially. Our soil and 
climate here seem to be especially adapted to growing Grapes and we are near 
enough to the Eastern markets so that Grapes can be delivered in good condition 
and they demand very satisfactory prices. No city lot or farm should be without 
Grapes; at least a few vines at the corners of the building or around the fence; 
still better a nice arbor of a dozen or so vines to shade the walk. 
Grapes can be grown in most any fertile soil, offer quick returns, and you are 
almost sure of yearly crops. 
BRIGHTON (Red). A good commercial 
variety, but self sterile. Handsome red fruits 
of high quality. Vine is vigorous growing, 
productive and adaptable as to soils. 
CACO (Red). This variety combines the good 
qualities of both its parents, the Catawba 
and Concord, and is now known as the very 
best red Grape grown. The large, handsome 
fruit is borne in complete bunches and is a 
rich wine red color; the flesh is tender, sweet 
and delightfully flavored. 
CATAWBA (Red). A leading Grape in juice¬ 
making regions and one of the best known 
and most widely grown of the red varieties. 
CHAMPAGNE (Amber). A delicious flavored 
amber colored Grape. Produces large compact 
bunches. Vine is strong grower, producing 
fruit at an early age. It is one of the best on 
bur list. 
CONCORD (Blue). Decidedly the most 
popular grape in America, as it adapts itself 
to varying conditions. Bunch is large, shoul¬ 
dered and compact. Flesh juicy, sweet and 
tender; excellent flavor. Strong vine, healthy, 
hardy, productive. The most reliable and 
profitable market variety. 
DELAWARE (Red). The exquisite little Amer¬ 
ican dessert Grape. Handsome, reliable, very 
highest quality with an unmatched spiciness 
and sweetness. Often referred to as “The 
Winter Grape,” as the bunches often hang 
on the vine until freezing weather. 
F REDON IA (Blue). Early blue Grape. Larger 
bunches and more prolific than the Moore’s 
Early. 
IVES (Blue). This is one of the outstanding 
wine Grapes. Close set on the bunches, 
rather a heavy producer. Planted heavily 
before prohibition for the wineries. 
LUCILE (Red). A bright red Grape with a 
spicy, foxy flavor. 
LUTIE (Red). New. The new Southern Grape 
of excellent quality and one of the most 
satisfactory varieties for this part of the 
country; large bunches, dark red, medium to 
large berries, super sweet and excellent qual¬ 
ity. Ripens after Moore’s Early and hangs on 
vines until Concord comes in. 
Caco 
MOORE’S EARLY (Blue). One of the very 
best early blue Grapes. Clusters medium 
size; berry very large. Ripens nearly two 
weeks before Concord, and is about the same 
quality. 
NIAGARA (White). The most valuable all 
white Grape. Clusters large and handsome, 
completely filled with large berries. Skin thin 
and tough. Flesh pulpy, tender, sweet and 
delightful, with an individual flavor and 
aroma. 
NORTON (Red). Medium sized wine colored 
wine Grape. Especially popular in Piedmont 
Virginia, where before prohibition days it was 
extensively grown. It is now coming back as 
a wine Grape. 
ONTARIO (White). A new white, early Grape 
which promises to be more popular in many 
respects than the Niagara. Vine vigorous 
grower and prolific; fruit of excellent quality.

UHl L W FAVORITES 
PORTLAND (White). New early white Grape 
Earlier than the Niagara. Should be planted 
in every home vineyard because of its earli- 
ness and excellent quality. 
SHERIDAN (Black). A new variety destined 
to rival Concord. It extends the season a week 
longer; with larger, more compact bunches; 
flavor sweeter, skin tougher, keeps longer 
and ships better. 
WORDEN (Black). Big compact bunches of 
extra large, thin skinned berries, quality equal 
to Concord but because of thin skin, not so 
good a shipper. Ripens five to ten days 
earlier than Concord. 
BORDEAUX MIXTURE. An excellent 
fungus spray. 
BLUEBERRIES 
A wholesome, native fruit which has within 
recent years been greatly improved and brought 
into prominence. Our numerous, famous varie¬ 
ties of Apple have been produced from the small 
Crabs, our many delicious varieties of Grapes 
are results of improving on the native wild 
Grapes, just as the improved, named varieties 
of Blueberries have been produced by research 
and cross breeding of the native varieties found 
growing wild in the mountains of the eastern 
part of the United States. 
Numerous varieties have been produced and 
offered, but three appear to meet all require¬ 
ments. There is no need to plant more when 
the best may be had in three varieties, provid¬ 
ing for pollenization and fruit ripening at vari¬ 
ous seasons. _ We recommend and offer the 
following varieties: 
CABOT. The earliest bearing variety, a hand¬ 
some, treelike shrub, will attain a height of 
6-7 ft.; fruit is delicious, large, very blue. 
Fruit is borne in flat clusters. 
PIONEER. Grows taller than the Cabot. 
Berries same size and color as Cabot, equally 
sub-acid and delicious. Foliage turns bronzy- 
red in the Fall and remains on for a long time. 
Medium late. Fruit is borne in Grape-like 
clusters or spikes. 
RUBEL. This is our latest bearing variety. 
A prolific bearer of slightly smaller berries, 
more tart than the above varieties. Makes a 
shapely, dense bush. Fine for shrubbery 
borders or as a background for the other 
varieties.
