Every home should have a few good Fruit Trees 

ichell’s Select Fruits 
Howard Miracle Plum. The most sen- 
sational novelty of a decade. The intro- 
duction of this grand new Plum marks an 
epoch in the advance of fine fruits for the 
table. The tantalizing and delicious flavor, 
the great size, firm amber flesh and 
miniature seed, combined with the red and 
yellow maple-leaf color, place the Miracle 
Plum far ahead of all other Plums on the 
market. Some say the taste 1s like pine- 
apple; others compare it to Plum and 
Nectarine combined. Invariably, after 
tasting this Miracle Plum, comes the 
exclamation: ‘“This fruit is truly a miracle. 
Certamly no other Plum could be so 
luscious. Why, this fruit is simply out of 
this world.” 4 to 6 ft., each $2.50; 3 for 
$6.75; 10 for $20.00.

How to Plant Grapes 
Dig the hole as broad and deep as if a 3- 
Fa 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, 
compact, and of good form. Rich m sugar, 
excellent in flavor. Vines very strong, 
vigorous growers, healthy and _ prolific. 
Each $1.00; 3 for $2.75. 
Catawba. Red. Deliciously flavored, me- 
dium-sized berries. 
Concord. Purple. The well-known standard 
variety that succeeds wherever Grapes will 
grow.
