TABLE GRAPES 
The standard American table varieties, such as Concord and Niagara, are to be had from 
every general nurseryman and we do not propagate them. We do, however, offer two table 
varieties which are striking improvements on the standard American sorts. They are: 
\Bllen Scott. This is a late mid-season variety from Texas origin, far and away the best 
produstion of the late T. Vo Munson. Vine is healthy and of good vigor, and it bears 
huge, handsome bunches of extra-large berries which range in color from pink to garnet. 
Fully ripened, it has a pure and delicate flavor and is a superb fruit for table. It 
will also double as a white-wine grape. For long-season areas. Half-long pruningo 
\steuben. This is by all odds the finest hybrid to date of the New York State Experiment 
Station at Geneva, New Yorko It ripens in early mid-season, a bit before Concord, and it 
has an area of adaptability much wider, we believe, than Concorde Vine is vigorous and 
sufficiently disease-resistant. It is a heavy producer of gorgeous bluish-lavender 
bunches which ripen evenly. Its beauty and its delicious spicy flavor will be a revelation 
to those who enjoy grapes of the American type, and no vineyard should be without a few 
vines of it. Wherever tried, it ms outsold all other varieties on road=-side mrketso 
Also yields an agreeable, aromatic white wine. Long pruning. 
European Type. Table grapes of the European type--i.e-, non-foxy, delicate flavor, 
edible skins and crisp texture --lmve not until now been available for growing under 
American conditions. But certain of the French Hybrids fill the bill perfectiy. We 
list the following, which are described above: Seibel 9110, Seibel 11803, Seibel 13047, 
Seyve-Villard Nos» 12303, 12309 and 12575. These are all so different from the standard 
American kinds as to be considered almost a new class of fruite Thanks to their crisp 
texture, they hold up well in shipping and in the markete 
NOTE ON PRUNING 
We speak of spur pruning, falf-long pruning, and long pruninge Spur pruning means just 
that: year after year leave no more than four or five 2=-bud spurs on a short trunk cutting 
away everything else. It is prescribed for vines which have only moderate vigor or would 
overproduce if pruned more generously» Such varieties should be planted no more than 
six feet apart in the row. Halt-long pruning means cutting back to two bearing canes of 
not more than 6 buds each, plus two or three 2-bud spurs. It is for intermediate vines 
which should be planted six or seven fect apart in the row. Long pruning means leaving, 
two, three or even four bearing canes of 8 to 12 buds, plus an equivalent number of spurs. 
It is prescribed for (a) ultra-vigorous varieties, or (b) varieties which bear relatively
