New Hybrid 
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 un- 
pleasant foxy flavor, tough skin, coarse 
seeds, and other inferior qualities that make 
them undesirable either as table or wine 
grapes. 
The European Grape (Vitis vinifera) is far 
superior to our native grapes. However, it 
has not the stamina to withstand sub-zero 
‘veather and succumbs disastrously to dis- 
eases, while our hardy native grapes remain 
immune. 
Breeders have produced varieties that com- 
bine the best qualities of both species to 
produce the ideal grape vine: namely, 
resiliency to our cold climate and diseases; 
absence of all foxiness, as with the old 
Concord. These Hybrid Grapes possess a 
pleasant sweetness and a certain native 
fruitiness, that makes them in many respects 
far superior to the California as either fine 
table or excellent wine grapes. 
They lend themselves to Spur pruning. This 
quality simplifies 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.
