 for the early market. Ohio.

 deep coppery red, becoming purple when fully ripe ; flesh slightly 

 pulpy, juicy, sweet, aromatic, rich, slightly musky. Very late.

 to oval, black ; light thin bloom ; pulp white, juicy, tender. Sep-

 ries nearly round, small, black; bloom thin, blue; pulpy, juicy, 

 with a slightly harsh flavor. Very hardy and late. Western New 

 York. Requires thorough maturity to develop its flavor. A good

Concord. Bunches compact, large, shouldered ; berries large, 

 round, almost black, covered with bloom ; skin very tender ; flesh 

 juicy, buttery, sweet. Ripens ten days before the Isabella ; is 

 healthy, vigorous, and very productive. The extreme hardiness, 

 vigor, and productiveness of the vine, and the large size and fine 

 appearance of the bunches and berries, have rendered the Con- 

 cord one of the most popular market sorts, although inferior to 

 several others in flavor. It succeeds well throughout the entire 

 West. The fruit is too tender for shipping long distances.
