Here’s one of the newest of thj< ♦ season’s styles. Already men are much pleased with it ami are wearing this model with a ^ . •. • • fense of pride and saUsfactlon. rnqaf*:ionably. the grape Is one of The surest fruits that can'be crown in South Carolina Practically all the standard varieties will succeed. Nor la the fruit often injured by late frost. In general, it !a safe to say that when vines are property cared for there is almost a certainty of a crop every ] year. ’ But although the grape will pro- j duce some fruit under almost any ' treatment, yet results that are.really , worth having cahnot be obtained with out proper care or,the vines. The old : practice of planting a vine just any where and letting it grow at will is en tirely wrong. Under such conditions. Tines become thick and fall on the ground, there is a tendency to over production of fruit, to small bunches, and inferior berries, and at about ttoe time the grapes begin to color up, they begin to rot. As a result, v/hon < the fruit should be ready for use, one-half or tVo thirds of it- is worthless. t ^ sides, vines handled thus ,arj weak and last 'only a few seasons.
