Grape Cultural Directions 
Locate your vineyard on a hillside if possible, to avoid frosts. A north exposure is prefer¬ 
able because it delays growth in the spring, avoiding injury to crop by late trosts 
PLANTING. Plant 10x10 ft.; 8x12 ft.; or 8x10 ft.; according to soil. Heavy soils produce 
large vines which should be farther apart in the rows so that after pruning there will be no 
overlapping on trellis by canes of the adjacent vines. , , . h 
Trim off broken or long straggling roots. Make holes large enough so most of roots may be 
retained without tangling. „ . , , ... . 2 huHc 
PRUNING — First Season. Prune roots to 8 to 10 inches and cut tips to 2 or 3 good buds 
when set. Let new shoots grow. Put in posts and wire ready for next season. 
Second Season —In early spring select best shoot, tie to lower trellis wire, and cut the 
rest away. Let new shoots grow. . . , 
Third Season — In early spring select four best side canes from main trunk already staked, 
and tie to wires. (One each way from trunk on each wire). ... hnrk tn 
Following Seasons —In early spring cut off all side canes that have fruited, nea r V r 
main trunk, leaving a short spur on which are one or two buds to produce the canes for 
next year. Select four canes that have not fruited and tie to wires. . ... or 
CULTIVATION. Except for pruning back and giving the vines proper support on trellis or 
stretched wire, grape vines require but little cultivation during the ^ lrst . growing • 
The ground around the roots, however, should frequently be loosened up. Aft | r ,. c ° m '7^ w "!° 
bearing, begin shallow plowing early in May, furrowing away from vines. After p g, 
level cultivation should be done with either a spike or disc harrow. ... . rnk „ 
For home garden cultivation the above directions may be carried out with spade, raxe 
and hoe or garden cultivator. 
CONCORD 
(Blue) 
Niagara 
NIAGARA 
(White) 
This is the Great White Grape that succeeds 
everywhere and under all conditions. In fact, 
it is really the White Concord, as it seems to 
have all the good characteristics of that great 
variety, being equally as vigorous, hardy, and 
productive. Due to the tough, leathery foliage, 
Niagara is practically immune to fungous dis¬ 
eases. It is one of the most delicious and beau¬ 
tiful of hardy Grapes and sells at fancy prices. 
Berries are large; bunches large and compact; 
color greenish yellow when fully ripe; juicy, 
sweet and delicious. Whether planting for home 
use or market, include Niagara in your order. 
Prices above. 
Concord is without doubt the most 
productive, the most popular and prof¬ 
itable variety yet introduced. It is the 
standard of excellence, quality and 
comparison on all markets, and buyers every¬ 
where pay a premium for this superior qual¬ 
ity Grape. Concord is perfectly hardy, hav¬ 
ing withstood a temperature of 30 degrees 
below zero without injury, it will produce 
more fruit per acre than any other variety 
and does well on light or heavy soil. The 
bunches are large and compact, berries large, 
bluish black color; sweet and juicy; fine 
quality and flavor. In fact, this variety is 
the one all-purpose Grape.

A rich and delicately flavored little red Grape that 
is generally recognized as the standard of quality to 
judge other Grapes by. An exceptionally desirable 
variety for home gardens on account of its compact 
habit of growth. Commands a premium in all the 
markets, often selling for twice the price of Concord. 
Very hardy. Ripens here about the middle of Sep¬ 
tember. 
MOORE'S EARLY (Black) 
Ripens about two weeks earlier than the Concord; 
large berries and bunches. Excellent for home use 
and market, and does not winter-kill.
