i-From T. S. Hubbard & Co.'s pamphlet "On Grape Vines and 

 Small Fruits," we select the names of a few of the earliest grapes, 

 and arrange them in the order of earliness ; those printed in ilalics 

 are regarded by them as the best in quality ; the figures refer to 

 hardiness of foliage and vines, the lowest numbers being the hardiest. 

 Several published in their list are hardier but are later, hence none 

 in the list are hardier than those marked "2."
