WE SUGGEST Pe 
that the interested grower purchase some of the very good ~ 
books available on the grape--such as "A Wine Grower's Guide" ti 
by Philip M. Wagner (3.00); "Grapes and Wines from Home Vine- ti 
yards" by U. P. Hedrick (4.00). For those interested in wine 
--we know "American Wines and How to Make Them" by Philip M. 
Wagner (2.50) and "The Principles and Practice of Wine Making" 
Cruess (7.50) are the best available. For those interested in 
the growing, grafting, etc. of vines and other plants, we like 
"Propagation of Plants" Kains and McQuesten (4.00) 
These books may be ordered from THE SCHROEDER VINEYARD, 
800 West 17th St., Hutchinson, Kansas, at the. above Draces,; 
postpaid. a a oe 4 

DISEASE AND INSECT CONTROL et + Ss ee 
The grape is easily protected against the fungus diseases 
and insects to which they are susceptible. Since local con-

strength of solutions, we suggest you write your State Experi-—

up-to-date information. ‘ *
