GRAPE BOOK & NURSERY GUIDE 
This book is, as the title implies, intended to aid you in the selection of 
the best available varieties of nursery stock. We have attempted to give 
concise, accurate information and have avoided making extravagant claims. 
Only items of proven worth are listed in this book. 
We guarantee our stock to be true-to-name, free from disease, graded to 
high standards, and further guarantee that it will reach you in good 
condition. 
Upon this basis we solicit your orders. 
J. E. MILLER NURSERIES 
NAPLES, N. Y. 
The Miller Nurseries are located on the shores of Canandaigua Lake, a few miles north of 
Naples, our post office address. Here is a beautiful country that is found to be ideal for the 
growing of grapes, fruit and nursery stock. Free from damaging spring frosts, the long 
growing season extending late into the fall adds strength and vigor to our plants, trees 
and vines. 
We have been growing grapes since 1875. Some of the first vines planted here are still 
bearing their annual crop although many of our older vineyards have been replaced by 
newer varieties. 
The Experimental Vineyards maintained by us give an opportunity to check and test the 
many varieties of grapes now available and we pass on to you the same recommendations 
which we follow in our own extensive vineyards. 
Most fruits, grapes especially, are easy to grow. Proper pruning is a definite aid in secur- 
ing large crops and to help you in this we send free planting and pruning instructions with 
all orders. These instructions are clearly illustrated and contain all essential information.
