• The name ol ROEDING has been connected with the cultivation of the grape in 
California for the past 50 years. Many of the important varieties, both shipping and 
wine, were first introduced to the planters by us. 
The home owner, either on the Coast or in the interior should have a few grape¬ 
vines in the back yard as the entire family will derive pleasure from fresh picked, 
home-grown grapes. Grape vines are fine either for covering arbors or fences.
