Grape Vines Bare Root When to Plant Crape Vines A black square under any month means that grape vines are avail- able for planting only during those months. Month JFMAM J JASOND â â â â¡â¡â¡â¡â¡â¡â¡a The New Golden Muscat Golden Muscat. FG13. Here is a new Grape which we can enthusi- astically recommend. Some people prefer the Eastern "slipskin" Grapes, while others prefer the California type Grapes, but everyone likes this new kind, which is a hybrid between the richly flavored Black Muscat and the green Eastern slipskin Grape, Diamond. This new variety has retained the golden green color of the Eastern Grape but has gained the exquisite Muscat flavor, delightfully combining the characteristics of the two different types. It is a vigorous grower and heavy bearer everywhere from the hot inland valleys to the coastal regions. Bush or trellis. August. 40c each, $3.50 per 10, $20.00 per 100. The Best Red Crape â¦Maraville de Malaga. FG18. A wonderful red market and shipping Grape, and unexcelled for home use as well. The berries are ex- tremely large, round, and bright red, sweet and richly flavored, and so firm that the skin can be peeled off like an orange. The best red Grape for most purposes. Bush type. September. â¦Mission. FG19. Medium size, round, sweet, black berries produced in enormous loose bunches. One of the old wine Grapes, brought from Spain by the Mission Fathers centuries ago. Because of its sweetness, juiciness and the enormously heavy crops that it bears everywhere, it remains a favorite. Bush or trellis. September. â¦Lady Finger (Rish Baba). FG16. Got its name because the berries are very long, slender and white-skinned. Large long bunches; flesh crisp, tender and sweet. Bush type. Late September. â¦Zinfandel. FG29. Probably the most famous Wine Grape of Califor- nia, bearing an enormous quantity of compact bunches of very juicy, sweet, black Grapes. Bush type. September. The Famous Black Hamburg Black Hamburg. FG1. One of the famous table Grapes of the world, with large bunches of coal-black, round berries, very firm, juicy, sweet and rich. Bush or trellis. Late Sept. 30c each, $2.50 per 10. Gros Colman. FG14. Berries are as large as small plums, borne in immense clusters. A rich blue color, firm and crisp. Extremely hand- some. Bush or trellis. October. 35c each, $3.00 per 10. *Flame Tokay. FG11. One of the leading shipping and table Grapes of California. Berries rich red with lilac bloom; flesh firm, crisp and sweet, and the bunches keep for a long time after packing. One of the finest and best liked of the late fall Grapes. October. Black Morocco. FG3. These great round, purplish black Grapes are so large that they resemble small plums. The berries are sweet and crisp and borne in large compact bunches. Probably the largest of all Grapes and so late that they may be picked right up to Thanks- giving. Bush type. October. 35c each. Hardy American Crapes This type of Grape, of which the Concord is a typical example, is quite hardy and is extensively grown in the eastern and middle western states. They are sometimes known as "slipskins," are usually strong growing vines, are all suitable for arbor and trellis, and do well anywhere on the Pacific Coast, with the exception of desert sections. They require more frequent irrigation in summer.

Golden Muscat. The new hybrid between the Eastern American Grape and the California vini- fera Grape, with an exquisite Muscat flavor. A Grape for all climates. Shown here two-thirds natural size. Imagine a fence hanging full of these bunches. Each Price $0.35 Per 10 $3.00 Per 100 $17.50 Ontario. FG22. Not only the earliest Eastern type grape but one of the very finest green- skinned ones, with big berries in medium sized bunches which ripen early and hang on the vines for a long time if you want to leave them. Deliciously sweet and rich fla- vored and the vines are exceedingly vigorous. 50c each. Delaware. FG9. The little red berries of this variety, sweet and juicy, have just about the finest quality of any Eastern Grape, and it bears heavily every place. Early August. Pierce (California Concord, Isabella Regia). FG24. Similar to Concord, but the berries and bunches are larger and the vine is a strong grower. It is one of the finest of the American Grapes for California, and if you are just going to plant one black Eastern Grape, we suggest this one. August. Niagara. FG21. The standard American green Grape, holding the same rank among green kinds that Concord holds in the blacks. Ber- ries large, pale-yellow, tender, sweet and juicy. August. Cood Old Concord â¢Concord. FG7. The most widely known and popular of all American Grapes. Produces profusely its medium size bunches of blue- black Grapes, which everybody says have the finest flavor of any Eastern variety. For grape juice and jelly, nothing excels it, and it ripens large crops in California. August. Catawba. FG5. This has long been the stan- dard red Eastern Grape, with a vigorous pro- ductive vine and splendid high quality fruit. Deep maroon-red in color and rich in flavor. Late August. Isabella. FG15. A fine large, glossy black Grape, with a thick skin and a musk flavor, which many people prefer to Concord. It is a much more vigorous vine than Concord, with big leaves and bigger bunches. September. A Fine Arbor Crape Christmas. FG6. If you want to cover an arbor or fence quickly and get many fine Grapes every year, there is no finer variety that you can plant than this origination of Luther Burbank. An enormous grower, cov- ering great spaces, with fruit similar to Con- cord in color and flavor but ripening two months later. One vine will produce five times as much as a Concord vine. 50c each, $4.50 per 10. Espalier Crapes For planters who wish older and larger vines which will give immediate results in covering wall, fence or arbor, we have grown and trained into 6 to 7 foot heavy columns, some large 2-year plants taken up with a laTge ball of earth on the roots. They will start to bear immediately, in fact, have already borne fruit. Varieties available: Pierce, Concord, Niagara. Christmas, Giant Everbearing, Maraville, Gold- en Muscat, Black Monukka, Thompson Seed- less and Ribier. Price, $2.50 each. We also have in the same varieties above, large heavy specimens, trained in various espalier shapes. 3-year specimens, $6.00 each; 4-year specimens, $7.50 each. Husky Crafted Crapes There are several reasons for planting grapes grafted on vigorous disease-resistant roots. First, they are much more vigorous and make larger and, therefore, more heavy bearing vines; second, they are entirely resistant to Phylloxera and partially resistant to Nema- todes, small soil parasties which sometimes bother grapes. They bear sooner too, usually the first year after planting. Vines grafted on resistant roots available ir. the varieties named below: Price on Grafted Grapes: 60c ea., S5.00 per 10. Black Hamburg Maraville de Malaga Black Monukka Muscat Black Muscat Ribier Dottier Pearl of Csaba Malaga Thompson Seedless Shipping Weights Packed for shipment, the first grape vine weighs 1 lb., and each added vine Vz lb. each.
