Descriptive illustrated catalog of dependable fruit and ornamental trees : roses and palms, vines and shrubs adapted to prevailing conditions of soil and climate on the West Coast together with planting and cultural notes . descriptiveillus1926fanc Year: 1926 THE FANCHER CREEK NURSERIES, FRESNO 25 AMERICAN VARIETIES The criticism that the American grapes fail to bear in California is not in keeping with the facts, for experience has demonstrated that when properly cared for good crops arc the rule. They arc especially desirable for arbors and to run over unsightly outhouses and should be planted much more largely than they are. All do well in all sections of the Pacific coast, and in California are partial to the coastal regions and the higher mountain plateaus. The vines do not require the severe pruning that some of the European varieties do. We list the best of the black, white and red sorts. Cur stock is grown in a suitable soil for producing vigorous vines and a strong root system. Catawba. A splendid table and shipping grape. Berry medium size and round on medium clusters; skin thick, pale red, deepening as it ripens; flesh glutinous, juicy, sweet and musky. Vine productive and hardy. Season, September. CONCORD GRAPE The recognized table variety of the eastern states Concord. The standard table grape of the Eastern states; fine for its juice and jelly making. Berry round and solid on medium sized compact clusters; skin thick and blue-black; flesh somewhat coarse, abundant, with a decided musky tang. Vine productive and relatively immune to disease. One of the best in the American class. Season, August. Isabella. Highly desirable for arbor and trellis, and a favorite for home use and local market. Berry large and of good substance borne on short compact clusters; skin bluish-black; flesh sweet, aromatic and fine texture. Vine of vigorous growth with large leaves. Season, September.
