CAMPBELL'S EARLY 



Some points of special merit in Campbell's Early are a verv 

 strong, vigorous hardy vine, with thick, heavy, mildew-resist- 

 ing foliage, and bearing abundant clusters; very large, com- 

 pact and handsome. Berries large, often an inch or more in 

 diameter; black, with light purple bloom; skin thin, but very 

 tenacious; flesh firm but tender, parting easily from its few and 

 small seeds. Flavor rich, sweet, slightly vinous, free from foxiness. 

 Its season is very early, and its keeping qualities remarkable.

 berries large; color black with a rich bloom. A strong grower, 

 very hardy, healthy and productive. The variety used exclu- 

 sively for grape juice and a reliable sort for general cultivation.

CACO OR CATAWBA CONCORD 



A cress between the old favorite Catawba and the well-known Concord. It ripens a

 abundant bloom. Bunch large; berry medium to lnrge ond almost round. The crown- 

 ing merit, however, is its quality, surpass-
