CONCORD 
WELCH'S 
Our grapes are all strong, sturdy vines 
—the hardiest and best that can be 
grown. They are now 2 years old, so they 
will bear surprisingly quickly. We just 
had a letter today, as 1 was working on 
this catalog, saying: 
“T ordered an assortment of 4 varieties 
of grapes from your Nursery. They are 
just a year old this spring and they all 
have 4 or 5 bunches of grapes on them 
now. It's amazing the growth they have 
made.” 
A few vines along the fence, over an 
arbor or in the garden will supply plenty 
for the average family for the table, juice 
and jell. And they are downright cheap. 
“~ B521 AGAWAM. Bunch large, shouldered; 
berry large, reddish brown, tender, vin- 
ous and of excellent flavor. Very vigor- 
ous and productive. Fine, hardy, and 
one of the best of its class. The most 
productive of all reds. 
‘\ B522 FREDONIA. A new very early black 
grape. The bunches and berries are 
large, with excellent flavor. It is an 
extra good shipper as it does not crack. 
Vines are vigorous and productive. We 
believe this will soon be the leading 
grape. 
\ B523 NIAGARA. The leading white grape.

How to Plant and Care for Your GRAPES 
Dig your hole big as though 
planting an apple tree, and use 
the same method. Remove part of 
tops and Toots as shown in Ppic- 
ture on ‘Top pruning line “ and 
“Bottom Pruning Line.’’ Leave 
two buds above surface. Set 6 
ft. in. rows 8 ft. apart. First 
year only the main stem should 
be allowed to grow and one vine 
trained each way on 2 trellis 
wires about 24’ and 36" above 
ground respectively. 
PRUNING GRAPES: Prune 
only in the winter when vines 
are dormant and weather not too 
cold. Keep in mind that canes 
that have borne fruit one year 
will not bear again. So prune off 
all old canes (year old shoots) 
coming out from main cane.
