AMERICAN VARIETIES 



AGAWAM. A self -fertile, vigorous variety with large clusters of large, red, 

 rich, sweet, aromatic berries noted for long keeping. Follows Concord ; 

 may be kept till January. Does best on heavy soils. 



AMETHYST. A comparatively new, excellent, almost fertile, dessert, long- 

 keeping variety which follows and resembles Delaware in growth, fruit 

 and hardiness, but is stronger growing. 



BARRY. One of the best black varieties. The vigorous, hardy, prolific 

 vines bear clusters of various size and shape with large, sweet, delicately 

 flavored berries which ripen a little after Concord but keep in ordinary 

 storage till March. 



BRIGHTON. Beauty, high quality, sureness of maturing, vigor, prolificacy, 

 adaptability to wide range of soils make this large, early red Grape a 

 leader. It is, however, more self-sterile than perhaps any other variety 

 and its fruit rapidly deteriorates in quality after reaching maturity.
