How Adjusted R-squared value is different from multiple R-squared value

I am currently solving one regression problem using linear regression in R. I have created a linear regression model after creating the model I have used the summary function on to it. I find two terms Multiple R-squared and Adjusted R-squared.

 model1=lm(Price ~ HarvestRain+WinterRain,data=wine)
 summary(model1)

Call:
lm(formula = Price ~ HarvestRain + WinterRain, data = wine)

Residuals:
    Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max 
-1.0933 -0.3222 -0.1012  0.3871  1.1877 

Coefficients:

WinterRain  -9.848e-05  9.007e-04  -0.109  0.91392

Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1

Residual standard error: 0.5611 on 22 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.3177,    Adjusted R-squared:  0.2557 
F-statistic: 5.122 on 2 and 22 DF,  p-value: 0.01492

I want to know how this two are different from each other and which one of them better tells about the significance of the variable. So that I can select the variable for model accuracy.
