GRAPES 
Grapes are easily grown; they produce a crop every year. The varieties 
we offer will thrive on any soil. There is always a ready market for 
whatever surplus you produce. By all means plant a few grapevines for 
home use, and, if possible, plant a vineyard to bring in ready money in 
the summer and early fall. Our vines are heavy, thrifty, two-year, ready 
to bear the first year. We prepay postage and express.
