Lovett's Grapes For Dependable Results Vineyards have occupied a central position, not only in the pages of history but in the progress of man. The Grape has ever been a favorite of man, and in days gone by was sym- bolic of feasts. It retains its position today, and is a favorite fruit. Justly so, for it contains many of the useful salts and minerals so necessary to health. And to tempt those who should have these things, it offers a flavor unique and de- licious. LOVETT'S CACO GRAPE Awarded the highest honor ever conferred upon a new Grape—A Medal by The American Institute of New York. The production of the Caco Grape, and its subsequent introduction by us, came as an answer to the demands of the gardeners who desired certain qualities in a Grape. They wanted, in one grape, appearance, flavor and hardiness. Caco Grapes combine all the desirable features demanded by growers with none of the defects of less satisfactory varieties. Their hardiness, rich- ness of flavor, coloring, and productiveness proclaim the Caco the finest of Grapes and we have no hesitancy in recommending this variety to the most critical enthusiast Search where you may, none can surpass the Caco as the Grape supreme and most desirable. Illustrated on page 62. Prices of Caco Grape vines, 2 year old, each, 90c; dozen, ^9.00; 100, ^65.00. Heavy fruiting age vines, each, ^2.00; dozen, ^20.00. Standard Varieties of Grapes The Pick of the Choicest Agawam—Deep red, almost maroon. Large, loose bunch; berries large, meaty, with rich aro- matic flavor. Ripens a little after Concord. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. Heavy fruiting age vines, each, ^1.00; dozen, ^10.00. Brighton—Until the introduction of Caco, this was regarded as the highest in quality of all hardy Grapes. The medium-sized berries are wine-red, and the bunches run somewhat larger than those of Caco. Ripens in mid-season. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. Champagne—An exceptionally prolific bearer of amber colored clusters. Because of its rather thin skin it is particularly useful for home gar- dens. Of strong constitution, it is practically immune to attacks of fungus diseases and it has proven so hardy everywhere that it has never been known to winter kill. It bears immense crops of medium size bunches, while the indi- vidual berries are very large. The quality is exceptionally high, the flavor very sweet and sugary—altogether it is an ideal sort for making a delicious wine or grape juice. It also has few equals as a table variety. 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, ^7.50; 100, ^50.00. Heavy fruiting age vines, each, ^1.50; dozen, ^15.00. Campbell's Early—A superb early-ripening black Grape. Produces extra large bunches of fruit that is not only attractive in appearance, but of superb quality. Because it is lacking in pollen, this sort should be planted near some va- riety that is free in pollen. Diamond is ex- cellent for this purpose. Incidentally, the two sorts form a great combination of highest quaHty fruits. 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, ^7.50. CATAWBA—The standard red Grape of eastern America. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and pro- ductive. Clusters large, long, and broad. Ber- ries of medium size, dull purplish-red wich thick bloom; firm. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00. Concord—Best known and most popular va- riety in America. It succeeds practically every- where. Its large black berries are borne in large 61
