GRAPE VINES 
How to Plant Grapes 
Dig the hole as broad and deep as if a 3- 
year Apple tree were to be planted. Fill the 
hole up to the right depth for planting with 
compost or rich soil. A few old bones in the 
bottom of the hole will make rich feeding for 
the vines later on. Trim the roots slightly 
and cut back the top to three or four strong 
buds. Use rich soil around roots. Always 
plant firmly. Leave a mulch of strawy 
manure over plant. 
Caco. Red. The most delicious of all Grapes 
and perfectly hardy. Bunch of good size,

« «’”BRUNES MARVEL” » » 
We take pleasure in offering this wonderful 
Strawberry, which has passed the test for 
quality and hardiness. The fruit is almost free 
from acid and can be used for eating or can- 
ning with less sugar. Another distinct ad- 
vantage is that the plants make exceptionally 
long roots, going down for moisture some- - 
times to 17 inches during dry summers. This 
is a real advantage. Pot-plants are now 
available. 
25 plants, $5.00; 50 plants, $9.50;

NUTS 
CHESTNUT 
Several years ago, Chestnut blight de- 
stroyed our native Chestnuts. Since that 
time the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
has been searching for a _ blight-resistant 
strain. After many tests, It was found that 
a type of Chinese Chestnut was not only 
blight-resistant but an early bearer of large, 
good-quality nuts. For many years trees 
were being offered only for experimental 
purposes, but at last we have enough to 
offer through our catalogue. Chinese Blight- 
Resistant Chestnut, 2 yr. transplanted, each 
$3.00; doz. $30.00. 
ENGLISH WALNUT 
A familiar nut in the stores, but it is not 
generally known that the English Walnut 
can be grown to perfection In many eastern 
states. It could mean to the Middle Atlantic 
area what the pecan means to the deep South. 
Two trees on a farm in the Shenandoah Val- 
ley have for the past twenty years more than 
paid the taxes on the entire farm, besides 
supplying the family. English Walnut trees 
require no more space and care than apples 
and begin bearing just as early. 2 to 3 ft., 
each $3.50; doz. $36.00.
