The standard varieties are the Concord, the Worden, and the 

 Moore Early, but a small acreage of almost all the other leading 

 varieties is found. As usual, the Concord leads, comprising from 75 

 to 85 per cent of the shipments. As this is preeminently an early 

 section, the best prices usually being realized before the Michigan 

 crop comes on with its heavy shipments, there is a large proportion 

 of the early varieties, and the Worden and the Moore assume 

 a greater relative importance than in New York or Michigan. The 

 date of ripening \aries somewhat in this section because of the dif- 

 ference in latitude, but the main shipping season of the Moore Early 

 and the Worden is from the middle of August to the first week in
