ly tough to bear packing and handling well. Ripens 

 about with Delaware. Very productive.

 derside with a thick brownish-yellow down. Bunch 

 very large, weighing 12 to 25 ounces ; compact, often 

 double shouldered ; berries very large, many one 

 inch in diameter, round, black, covered with a heavy 

 blue bloom ; adheres firmly to the stem. Seeds 

 large, from one to four ; skin thin, but tough, with 

 no bad taste when eaten close ; pulp quite large, 

 tender, dissolving easily in the mouth. Very juicy, 

 as good or better quality than the Concord, with 

 much less of the native odor. Ripens with-Concord 

 or a little earlier. 



Moore's Early A new grape raised from seed by 

 John B. Moore, Concord, Mase., in 1872. It is des- 

 cribed as follows : Bunch large ; berry round (as 

 large as the Wilder or Rogers' No. 4); color black, 

 with a heavy blue bloom ; quality better than the 

 Concord. 



Moyer A new grape originated in Canada. In habit 

 of growth and hardiness it resembles the Delaware 

 very much, but ripens earlier. Flavor sweet, deli- 

 cious; skin tough but thin ; pulp tender and juicy. 



\iatf a I'll This new white grape originated in Lock- 

 port, N. Y., in 1868, and is a cross between the Con- 

 cord and Cassady ; first fruiting in 1872 ; it has since 

 regularly borne large crops of fine fruit. The vine 

 is a remarkably strong grower and very hardy ; the 

 leaves are thick and leathery and dark glossy green ; 

 bunches very large and uniform and are very com- 

 pact ; berries large or larger than Concord, and skin 

 thin but tough, which insures their shipping quali- 

 ties ; quality good, very little pulp, melting and 

 sweet to the center ; ripens before Concord.
