We had hoped to offer many more varieties of these 
fine hybrids, but we have just been informed that an 
embargo against the importation of grape propagating 
material from all European countries was instituted as of 
September 1, 1948. The varieties we were to receive this 
fall and next spring will be unavailable for some time, 
years that is, after the embargo is lifted. In 4 great 
many instances, we have the only stock of certain varieties 
now in this country. 
Because we believe that grape growers in the eastern 
United States overlook the value of 4 proper rootstock, we 
will accept orders to graft and grow any variety we have on 
a suitable stock for your soil (we should have a physical 
and chemical analysis) for delivery the following season. 
If interested, give soil analysis, location, seasonal 
rainfall, variety desired, etc. We will quote. Terms: one- 
third with order, balance before shipment. 
We suggest that you place your orders imediately 
for spring delivery, in order to secure the best selection. 
It will help us give you much better service. 
We strongly recommend the testing of suitable rootstocks 
for your soil type. As the average increase in yield, even of 
strong growing and heavy bearing varieties, is from 20 to 40%, 
one.can readily understand that grafted vines return an 
appreciable difference at no increase in cost of production. 
This increase has run as high as 200%. 
So write us at once, we willbe glad to recommend varieties 
for your location.
