 better in (luality, having less of that foxiness 

 which renders the Martha so objectionable to

 Concord can be grown with good success and 



seems growing in public estimation : it is 

 heartily recommended even as far North as 

 the Province of Ontario, Canada. By reason 

 of its earl}' ripening it is special!}^ adapted to 

 northern localities where Concord does not 

 always mature. The vines endure without 

 injur}- severe cold winters. In size of clus- 

 ter, rather small. In quality it is better flav- 

 ored and more delicate than Concord. la
