Growing Grapes 
GRAPES : - - 
Set the vines deep enough to cover the main stem and in holes suffi- 
ciently large for the roots without crowding. 8 ft. apart each way is 
ample planting distance. Cut the tops back to 3 to 4 buds. Clean cultivation; mulch in the earl 
part of the season. Good drainage, well rotted manure or Nitrogen fertilizers are most beneficial, 
Dusting Sulphur or Bordeaux mixture during rainy periods along with arsenate of lead during 
early summer will control mildews and berry moth.

Dear Sirs: 
I have never received any stock so excellently 
packed or in such good shape as that I got from 
you a year ago. Only one asparagus plant failed 
to grow.

@ Two New Grapes of Merit ® 
Golden Muscat Possesses the rich gold- 
en color and the fine 
aroma of the European Muscat. For home use 
and the roadside market it is one of the best. 
The vine is vigorous, productive and the clusters 
are very large, tapering, single-shouldered and 
ee The berries are large, oval, juicy, and 
sweet. 
Most promising, very early, 
Van Buren black grape introduced. Clus- 
ter medium to above, compact. Berry little 
smaller than Concord, and equal if not superior 
to Concord in quality. For roadside markets and 
home, it should prove most valuable. 
—. Standard Varieties —, 
Cac (Red Grape.) A _ variety of excep- 
O tional merit and should be in every 
collection planted, is the most beautiful of the 
hardy grapes, the bunches are large, well shoul- 
dered, color wine red with abundant bloom. 
Bunches are compact and of good size and form. 
Earlier than Concord and is sweet and palatable 
several weeks before it is fully ripe. Caco is be- 
yond doubt one of the best of our native red 
grapes. 
(Red.) One of the best commer- 
Catawba cial grapes in cultivation. Bunch 
large and compact; a strong grower and very 
productive; quality good. 
(Blue.) An old variety; does well 
Conco rd wherever planted; good size; pro- 
ductive. 
s The finest early blue grape. Fre- 
Fredonia donia ripens with the earliest. 
Bunch and berries large. Skin firm. Flavor of 
the best. It fills a long-felt need for an early 
Table Grape of high quality that would make a 
real appetizing appearance in our fruit markets. 
It does not crack. Commercial growers will find 
this grape a money-maker. One of America’s 
best red juice varieties. 
(White.) The most popular white 
grape in existence. Fruit large and 
very productive; a good grower, ripening same 
season as Concord, equally good, valuable in 
every way. 
(White.) The earliest of all grapes. 
Large bunch and berry; fiesh 
sweet, juicy, and of fine flavor. A valuable early 
grape for home gardens, and bids fair to hold 
first place as an early market variety. The vine 
of Portland is particularly satisfactory as it is 
vigorous, productive, hardy and healthy.
