THE GRAPE. 57 



Cottage.— A vigorous, healthy, hardy, productive black grape 

 of very good quality. Very early, and on account of this and its 

 quality it should be generally planted in the home garden. It is 

 rather undesirable for marketing on account of the berries easily 

 separating from the stem soon after being ripe. 



Delaware.— A small, red grape of extra good quality. Gener- 

 ally more popular than other kinds with commercial growers, but 

 it is quite liable to mildew in some seasons, and on this account 

 should be avoided except by those who have extra good locations, 

 or who will give it extra good care. 



Hartford.- A well known early black variety of fair quality. 

 Very productive and hardy. 



Janesville.— Very vigorous, healthy, hardy and productive 

 berry, black, rather acid, of medium size in a very compact cluster. 

 It colors very early. This is the most desirable kinds for very 

 severe locations. 



LiNDLEY.— Like the Brighton, deficient in pollen, but quite 

 productive when grown near other kinds. Of extra quality and 

 one of the best keeping kinds ; with ordinary care it will keep until 

 January 



Ladt. —An early white grape of excellent quality ; hardy and 

 healthy. Not very productive. 



Moore's Early.- The earliest grape of extra good quality. 

 Vme hardy, vigorous, healthy, but not very productive. Berries 

 very large and black with a heavy bloom. It requires rich soil 

 and high cultivation for best results. 



PocKLiNGTON.— A little later in ripening than Concord, and is 

 among white grapes what that variety is among black kinds, the 

 most productive and satisfactory where it can be ripened. Hardy, 

 healthy and productive. Only adapted to best locations. 



WoRDEN.— A magnificent black grape of better quality and ten 

 days earlier than Concord. Hardy, productive and healthy. For 

 general planting to be preferred to Concord. It should be in every 

 collection. Occasionally it drops badly from the stem. It brings 

 the highest price where well known. 



Green Mountain is a new grape that is promising for home 

 use on account of its being very early and of extra quality. Berries 

 small and greenish-white in color. They seem inclined, however, 

 to drop easily from the bunch. 



Moore's Diamond.— A very promising new white grape of 

 good quality, ripening from four to eight days before the Concord. 

 Very hardy and productive.
