rows. A two-wire trellis is recommended, the top wire five : 
feet from the ground and lower wire two feet above ground. 
Pruning should be done from November |5th to December 
25th. For best results, the use of male vines is recommended, 
and vines should be spaced so that none are more than fifty 
feet from a male vine. Muscadine grapes are excellent for 
jelly, grape juice, and wine making. 
Scuppernong. Bunches composed of eight to ten very 
large berries, bronze colored when fully ripe; flesh pulpy, 
sweet, with peculiar, agreeable musky flavor; quality excel- 
lent. One of the oldest and best varieties. Ripens in August 
_ and September. 
Stuckey. Reddish-bronze, berries medium to large in size, 
juicy and very sweet; probably the best quality of any 
variety. Ripens week to ten days after Scuppernong and 
over a long period which, with its excellent flavor, makes it 
very desiranle for the home vineyard. 
‘Hunt. Vines vigorous, foliage healthy and medium to 
heavy; prolific, regular bearer; fruit large, black; bunches 
well, and hangs on well. Cluster stems long, skin medium 
to thin, pulp medium; excellent flavor. Ripens in August. 
- Fine for all purposes. We class this as the best of the black 
varieties. 
James. Extra large berries, often measuring three and 
one-half inches in circumference; black, from’ three to ten 
berries on a bunch, extremely prolific and regular bearer. 
Ripens in September and October and often hangs on the 
vines until the last of November. Good commercial variety. 
Male Muscadine. These should be planted with other 
varieties of Muscadine grapes; it will cause them to bear 
much heavier crops, as this is pollinating variety. These bear 
no fruit. 
BLUEBERRIES — 
The aristocrat of the bush berry family! Now you can 
grow them at home on high land for pleasure or for profit. 
Possibly no fruit has undergone greater improvement within 
the past few years than the blueberry. Improved, cultivated | 
blueberries grow in large clusters, are plump, tender, and 
practically seedless. The berries are juicy, mild, and deli- 
cious, and bring high prices. They are solid and firm and 
ship well. Bushes grow upright, and fruit is easy to pick. 
Cultivated blueberries are easy to grow. Set five to seven 
feet apart. Moist soil is all right, but with mulching they 
-can be grown on most any land, provided soil is acid. If 
your soil is deficient in humus and acid, we recommend 
making a heavy application of peat moss, rotted sawdust, 
“decayed leaves, or something of that nature. 
In addition to bearing a large crop, the blueberry, with its 
beauty of leaf and wood, makes a very attractive ornamental — 
shrub for the lawn or garden. Bushes are loaded with long 
clusters of white lily-of-the-valley-like flowers in spring. 
Stiff, waxy green leaves turn to maroon in autumn. These 
make shapely, disease-free, lovely bushes for the shrub bor- 
der. — P y on ;

We recommend ordering assorted varieties of blueberry 
so they will cross-pollinate and fruit freely.
