Grapes. 75 



and Union Village are those I favor most, though my belief 

 is strong that every variety known can be grown here. 



HENRY MCALLISTER, JR.: I have grown quite a crop of 

 Concord grapes. I recommend the earliest ripening kind, 

 such as Pocklington and Moore's Early, especially the lat- 

 ter. None that ripen later than the Concord should be 

 grown. 



E. R. SIZER : I have now in bearing 1,225 Concord 

 vines and 100 Creveling. I have also planted 1,000 Martha 

 and i ,000 Catawba. 



J. H. NEWCOMB : Persons wanting varieties that ripen 

 later than the Concord will fail with the crop. 



J.WOLFF: Care should be -taken in. the selection of 

 hardy varieties, such as the Concord, Hartford, Martha and 

 Delaware. 



O. O. KENT : No grape as late as the Concord will do 

 well on the clay soils of Colorado. The lona is a late grape 

 .and therefore undesirable. The best grapes for Colorado, 

 in my opinion, are the Delaware and the Clinton. 



COLORADO FARMER : J. H. Newcomb brought us in to- 

 day Sept. ist. some sample bunches of thoroughly ripe 

 Delaware grapes. Also a new variety (foreign), the Early 

 Madeline, which is a small black grape, but of delicious 

 flavor, very compact on the bunch, and from its early ripen- 

 ing will, no doubt, prove a valuable grape for Colorado. 



A. E. GIPSON : So far the Concord, Hartford, Delaware, 

 Martha and lona have done well with me. 



J. H. NEWCOMB : The Crevelling is the best black grape 

 for Colorado. 



A. N. HOAG : I have fruited the Martha, which I think 

 will in time supercede all others, it being very sweet and 

 early. I put the Concord, Delaware, Clinton and Martha 

 in the front rank out of nineteen varieties that I have in cul- 

 tivation. I have about an acre of five year old vines. 



W. A. HELM : I prefer the Salem for Southern Colo- 

 rado. It is a strong growing vine, with a broad, clear leaf
