A "Life-time" Vineyard on a Tiny Investment CONCORD—The Best Blue CONCORD origiiuited in Masstieliu- setts more than 100 years ago and is still today the most widely grown of American varieties because it is hardy in many varying climatic conditions. The berries are very dark with an abundant bine bloom. CO^'COIlD is of - good dessert quality with a high aro- ma and firm juiciness that makes it a favorite for the table, juice, jam and jelly. These qualities also make it one of the outstanding commercial va- rieties. ^CACO—The Best Red CACO is recognized as the best red grape variety because of its extreme vigor and general hardiness. The berries are a light red with thin skin and tender juiciness. The dessert quality is as good as the high aroma suggests. CACO is an excellent home and market grape that does well in the same area as Concord, from the middle South to the Northern boundaries of this Country. "^ NIAGARA—The Best White We consider NIAGARA the best of the white grapes because it has the vigor and hardiness that makes it a popular producer throughout the Concord, Caco area and it meets the de- mand for a good white dessert grape. The skin is thin and tender and the flesh has a juicy sweetness and a strong winey flavor. The berries are of an amber color with a light dusty gray bloom. Grapes hold up well when fully- ripe and are therefore popular commer- cially as well as in the home.

COXCORD PRICE LIST 24 Illustration about two-thirds actual size GRAPES ARE EASY TO GROW AND LAST FOR YEARS Grape vines may be planted in early Spring or in the Fall in November and December. Grapes should be set in a well-drained soil that would produce garden crops. Vines are usually planted 8 to 10 feet apart in the home garden and where a vineyard is planned the rows should be 10 feet apart. Grapes may be trained along a garden fence or a regular arbor may be constructed to suit the desired arrangement in the garden. A simple method of support is followed by commercial growers. Wires are strung from posts with top wire 5 feet above the ground and the lower wire 2)/^ feet above the ground. Pruning is one of the most important fac- tors in obtaining marvelous grape harvests. Our Better Berries Bulletin No. 3 completely outlines most popular pruning methods: also illustrates simple support methods. COMPLETE PLANTING IXSTRI'CTIONS will be shipped with your order.
