MUSCADINE GRAPES, which are native to the
southeastern part of the United States, thrive
in most soils of that region. They can be grown suc-
cessfully in the Southeastern States, where American
bunch grapes do not thrive. Furthermore, they are
suitable for home gardens as well as for commercial
use. In fact they are perhaps the most satisfactory of
all fruits for the home garden in this region. They
cannot be grown, however, where temperatures as low
as 0O F. occur habitually and may be injured at some-
what higher temperatures.
Muscadine grapes are relatively uninjured by dis-
eases and insects and produce well with a minimum of
care, but they respond favorably to the good cultural
practices recommended in this bulletin.
The varieties described or listed produce fruit suit-
able for making unfermented juice, wine, jelly, and
other culinary products and for eating fresh over a
long season.
