HARDY GRAPES 2-Year Vines 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY CACO OR CATAWBA CONCORD 
_ Acress between the old favorite Catawba and the well-known Concord. It ripens a 
little in advance of the Concord. This variety fully equals the Concord in strength

abundant bloom. Bunch large; berry medium to large and almost round. The crown- 
ing merit, however, is its quality, surpass- 
ing in tenderness of pulp, luscious flavor 
and aroma the Catawba, while it is as 
prolific as the Concord. (See illustration.)
