'LADY. 



"Lady." (Labr.) A fine early white grape, 

 purchased by Geo. W. Campbell from a Mr. 

 Imlay, of Muskingum county, O. ; first offered 

 to the public in the fall of 1874, and now de- 

 servedly popular as a grape to be planted for 

 family use and for near markets. It is unsuited 

 for distant shipping or rough handling. 



It is a pure Concord seedling, and has almost 

 the vigor, health and hardiness of its parent ; is 

 like it free from mildew, but also subject to rot. 

 The vine, in its habit of growth, foliage, and 

 general appearance, is very similar to the Con- 



cord. It is unquestionably an improvement 

 on the Martha grape, being larger in size, ear- 

 lier, more productive, and better in quality, 

 having less of that foxiness which renders the 

 Martha objectionable to many. It will succeed 

 perfectly in all localities where the Concord can 

 be grown with good success. By reason of its 

 early ripening it will be found specially adap- 

 ted to northern localities where Concord does 

 not always mature.* In size of berry it is some- 



* The vines endured without injury the severe cold of 

 the winter of 1872-73, 32 below zero.
