Buffalo A black grape with medium to large size, sweet, vinous 



flavor and good adherence. The clusters are large and 

 tend to be loose. The vine is vigorous and productive 

 and the fruit holds very well in storage. Buffalo tends 

 to overbear if not properly pruned and to be susceptible 

 to winter i n .i u r y . 



Delaware A high quality red grape with small clusters and berries. 

 The vines are hardy and are moderate in vigor and pro- 

 duction. Delaware would add to the attractiveness of 

 displays on a roadside stand. 



Warden Similar to Concord but ripens a week to ten days earl- 



ier. While slightly superior to Concord in quality and 

 attractiveness, it has a tendency to crack when ripe 

 and shatters badly within a few days after it is harves- 

 ted. A desirable variety for local trade and the home 

 vi neyard . 



Cook This is an attractive black grape with an abundance of 



bluish bloom. Adherence of the berries is good and the 

 quality is excellent. Vines are productive and the 

 fruit holds in storage unusually well. Recommended for 

 comme*"cial planting and is a desirable variety for the 

 home vineyard. 



Brighton A reddish grape which ripens a few days ahead of Concord. 

 Produces large bunches of high quality grapes. While its 

 commercial possibilities are limited, it is recommended 

 particularly for the home vineyard. Brighton is self 

 unfruitful and should be planted near other varieties 

 for cross-pollination. 



Romulus A sister seedling of Himrod. The clusters are large, 



compact and the berries small, yellow, seedless, sweet, 

 vinous and good in quality. Like Himrod, Romulus is 

 susceptible to winter injury and should be restricted 

 to the more favorable sites. 



Niagara A white grape of high quality with 



ters. Would add to attractiveness 

 side stand. Ripens with Concord. 



1 arge compact cl us- 

 of display on a road- 



Concord The particular merits of Concord are its adaptability 

 to a wide variety of soils, its productiveness, hardi- 

 ness, vigor and shipping quality. Concord requires a 

 growing season of approximately 160 days for proper 

 ripening of its crop.
