Grapes 
High quality grapes on far less vigorous 
(and less troublesome) vines. 
No permanent canes needed; only a short 
trunk or shank. Grapes grow on new wood, 
which is pruned away each year. 
Most kinds bear about Concord time. 
Bacco, Florence, Angele are perhaps two 
weeks earlier. Siebel 14 and Jacques Wolf, 
a week later. 
North American grape vines yield an unpleasant foxy 
flavor, tough skin, coarse seeds, and other inferior quali- 
ties that make them undesirable either as table or wine 
grapes. 
The European Grape (Vitis vinifera) is far superior io 
our native grapes. However, it has not the stamina to 
withstand sub-zero weather and succumbs disastrously to 
diseases, while our hardy native grapes remain immune. 
Breeders have produced varieties that combine the best 
qualities of both species to produce the ideal grape vine: 
namely, resiliency to our cold climate and diseases; ab- 
sence of all foxiness, as with the old Concord. These 
Hybrid Grapes possess a pleasant sweetness and a cer- 
tain native fruitiness, that makes them in many respects 
far superior to the California as either fine table or ex- 
cellent wine grapes. 
They lend themselves to Spur pruning. This quality sim- 
plifies the pruning and care of the vines and permits one 
to easily train them into permanent pleasing patterns. 
They can be grown even on a six foot pole, to produce 
from 10 to 30 pounds of luscious grapes. The clusters 
are of immense size, some of the varieties have as many 
as 150 big clusters the second year planted.
