GRAPES 
RED AMBER— 
This is undoubtedly one of the best of the 
recent introductions of the Minnesota State 
Fruit Breeding Farm. A very fine, large, red 
Grape of exceptionally high quality. Per- 
fectly hardy and need not be covered. 
BLUE JAY— 
This grape has very compact, large clus- 
ters of berries, about the same size as Con- 
cord. They are dull black and covered with 
a bluish bloom. When first colored and ap- 
parently ripe, they are rather acid, but if 
allowed to remain on the vine for 10 to 14 
days longer, they become mild and pleas- 
ing in flavor. Also good for making juice or 
jelly. This needs to be planted near some 
other variety that will furnish pollen. 
MOONBEAM— 
This “white” Grape with a mild and 
sweet flavor is borne in medium sized clus- 
ters, but the berries are large. It is an ex- 
cellent ornamental variety because the 
clean, attractive leaves are dark green 
above and silvery beneath. Prices of Blue 
Jay, Red Amber and Moonbeam Grapes) 
2 yr., 70c; 3 for $1.85. 
\ BETA GRAPE— 
A heavy, annual bearer, hardy as the 
wild grape. Medium size black fruit of extra 
good quality for juice and jelly, and ripens 
so early that it can be grown far north. 
The Beta withstands our severe northern 
winters without protection. They may be 
grown on fences, over a building, or in a 
windmill tower and should bear heavily 
every year. 
FREDONIA— 
The new outstanding, early black Grape. 
Fredonia is the earliest good black Grape. 
The vine is vigorous and productive and 
ripens its fruit 3 weeks earlier than Con- 
cord. Fruit is large, sweet and of good 
quality. Prices of Beta and Fredonia grapes, 
2 yr., 50c: 6 for $2.50. 
CUTTING’S NURSERY is eight miles west of Rochester, on Highway 14.
