NIAGARA. 



The Niagara is the leading white grape in Ontario for commercial purposes. In 

 health, vigor of vine and in productiveness, it has no superior, and it has been planted 

 more widely than any other variety, except the Concord. For dessert purposes, it is 

 good in quality when well ripened. We do not rerommend it for sections north of 

 Toronto, unless in favored locations. 



ORIGIN: raised by C. L. 

 Hoag, of Lockport, from 

 seed of Concord, sown in 

 1868. 



VINE: very vigorous; 

 foliage, thick and healthy, 

 like Concord, hardy, not 

 subject to mildew; very 

 productive. 



BUNCH : very large; 

 often shouldered ; very 

 compact. 



BERRY: round, about the 

 size of Concord; pale 

 green, turning to pale 

 yellow at maturity, and 

 covered with a thin whit- 

 ish bloom ; skin, tough and 

 not inclined to crack ; pulp, 

 soft, juicy and sweet, of 

 good flavor when fully ripe, 

 with a touch of muskiness. 



NIAGARA.
