Other crops may fail but you never lose all the Grapes—unless the boys get them. 
Grapes are a sure crop. Vines bear every year, need little attention except training, 
lots of sunshine, and plenty of plant food. In the home garden, use sheep manure or 
bone meal; in the vineyard, use well-rotted manure. 
Black Grapes Red Grapes 
CONCORD. The best general-purpose Grape 
grown. Berry large; bunches shouldered 
and compact. Should be the "backbone" 
of your planting. Special prices on large 
quantities. 
MOORE'S EARLY. An extra-early variety. 
Medium bunch; large black berry. Vine is 
hardy, very reliable, and does well wher¬ 
ever planted. 
WORDEN. A seedling of Concord. Better 
quality; ripens 10 days earlier. Bunch and 
berry large; compact. Not quite so hardy 
or long-lived, but is needed in every col¬ 
lection. 
White Grapes 
MARTHA. Medium berries with soft skins 
which can be eaten. An old standard. 
NIAGARA. The best white Grape. Bunch and 
berry large, meaty and juicy; flavor per¬ 
fect. Medium season. 
PORTLAND. The best early white for home 
and market. Vine moderately vigorous, 
fruit large and of excellent quality. 
2-year-old vines .

CACO. An amber-red variety of unusual 
quality. It is a cross between Catawba 
and Concord and is different from either. 
Vine vigorous and bears very early. Fruit 
sweet. 
CATAWBA. Standard late red Grape that 
has lost none of its popularity. Season and 
quality make it indispensable. 
DELAWARE. A well-known red Grape. Bunch 
and berry small; compact. Flavor unsur¬ 
passed. Must be given good, rich soil. 
LINDLEY. Of exceptionally good quality; 
large; ripening in midseason. Vigorous of 
vine and hardy. 
LUCILLE. A new Grape of decided merit. 
Bunches very compact; color light red. 
Very hardy. Likely to overbear if not 
pruned severely. 
LUTIE. Best extra early Grape of its color, 
and good size. 
WYOMING. Small berries with compact 
shouldered bunches. Distinct flavor and 
will produce more fruit than any variety 
we sell. Good for wine.

As Experienced Fruit Growers We Suggest 
That you plan for a succession of fruit, increasing quantities where you expect to 
market or store. It is inadvisable to plant too many varieties in the average 
orchard. There is no reason why you cannot have fresh fruit from the time that 
cherries ripen in May until well into the winter. We will help you plan your list 
if you will ask us. 
That you cultivate your newly planted trees, for it is just as important to culti¬ 
vate them as it is to cultivate a tomato or tobacco plant. Only after the tree has 
become well established should cultivation stop. Even then, your trees will respond 
to fertilization and cultivation. 
That you feed young trees to promote health and vigor. Nitrate of soda, sul¬ 
phate of ammonia, bone meal, manures, or similar soil-builders applied in modera¬ 
tion often spell the difference between success and failure. Strong, vigorous trees 
can stand unfavorable weather conditions, frost, and even disease. Good soil means 
early maturity and heavy yields. 
That where space is scarce, you plant quick-maturing trees like Peach, Plum, 
and Cherry, in the center of the squares between late-maturing trees. The former 
should be taken out when the permanent trees begin to crowd. Don't plant too 
closely. 
That you renew your plantings of Peach trees every four or five years to keep a 
continued crop coming on. 
HOW TO PRUNE. In pruning Apple, Plum, Cherry, and Pear trees, cut the side 
branches to 6- to 8-inch stubs and do not leave more than five to a tree. See that 
these are distributed around the trunk. The Peach tree requires a little more severe 
pruning. One-year trees are simply headed to whatever height they are wanted. 
Try not to have two branches nearly opposite. They will form a bad crotch when 
Heeling In Trees and Shrubs 
Heel in your trees as soon as received. Dig a trench deep enough and wide 
enough to take the root-system and then cover the roots, firming the soil so as to 
contact each root. If some of the trunk (or branches, in case of shrubs) is covered 
with soil, the protection is double. A little water applied to dry soil is helpful. 
Trees heeled in may be kept several weeks in perfect condition.
