Reid's Catalogue of Small Fruits, Etc. Hardy Grapes. CULiTURE.—It would be rather an undertaking to describe the full method of grape-culture, as ii: is very extensive, but I will give brief mention. If any one wants to know more fully, write me, and I will give :t in detail. The soil should be prepared as for other small fruit; make the rows eight feet apart and plant six feet in the row, or if ground is very rich, make it eight feet. The holes should be about one foot square so as to allow plenty of room for the roots ; put in some good soil in the bottom, or wet corn-cobs if at hand, and use a little ground bone. When the vines arrive from the nursery, cut both the roots and the top ; two eyes are suffi- cient, and on two years old, from four to five eyes. After you have trimmed the roots and spread them out in the hole, the vine should be set at one side, and soil well firmed with the feet. Set a small stake by the side so as to mark the vine. The second or third year they should be staked and wired ; two or three wires should be used. Keep the old wood as near the ground as possible, for the nearer it is the sweeter the fruit will be. Keep the vine open so that the air can pass through to prevent rot and mildew. NOTE.—Price for grapes given in table on page 25. For large lots, write us for special prices. NEW VARIETIES.

The originator speaks of it as follows " In the s
