GRAPES 
There is real satisfaction in seeing 
your vineyards and orchards thrive and 
bear abundantly. With the aim of de- 
veloping and propagating the best and 
most profitable varieties of grapes and 
other fruits, we offer the following list. 
Given good care grapes bear well on al- 
most any soil. They prefer a sandy or 
gravelly loam.

“Caco. Fruit very large in handsome 
complete bunches, a rich wine-red 
over amber, very large bearer. Its 
flavor is sweet and distinctive. Mid- 
season. 
“Catawba. When fully ripe they are a 
large dark copper colored fruit, 
which requires a long season. Ripens 
in late fall. 
‘Concord. The standard blue grape and 
probably the most extensively grown 
grape in the U. S. When fully ripe 
it is almost black. Ripens in early 
fall. 
‘ Delaware. The old fashioned small red 
dessert grape, but is unexcelled for 
flavor either of the grape or juice. 
Ripens early. 
“ Fredonia. A new _ productive, very 
black grape, ripening with Portland. 
The bunch and berry are large with 
excellent flavor, and ripens about 
ten days ahead of Moore’s Early and 
is an excellent shipper as it does not 
erack. This grape fills a long-felt 
need. A juicy, delicious black grape 
on a vigorous and productive vine. 
Niagara. Clusters of large and hand- 
some pale yellow berries. It ripens 
with Coneord and is the best white 
erape for the home market.

favorite with the home owner. Of high

‘GOLDEN MUSCAT 
This comparatively new variety 
requires a season fully as long as 
Concord, but deserves a good trial 
wherever it has a possible chance 
to ripen. Valuable for home use 
and roadside market. The berries 
are large and meaty, having very 
few seeds, usually one or two, 
which are easily separated from 
the pulp. It makes a large, pyra- 
midal, compact, well--filled clus-

HANDLING UPON ARRIVAL 
Receive your stock without delay and 
plant just as soon as possible. Plants 
received in freezing weather should not 
be opened until they have been put in 
a cool but frost proof cellar and grad- 
ually thawed out. The stock will not 
be injured if gradually thawed out in 
this way. 
Stock which seems somewhat dry up- 
on opening should be buried in wet soil 
for a day or so. This will quickly liven 
the stems and make them ready for 
planting. Small bundles may be placed 
in tubs of water for the same results.
