Leading Varieties. For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely fa- 

 miliar with the best and most, prolific varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in 

 heavy type. In making your selection it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 



Red Grapes 



Wyoming Red. Vine hardy and robust, with 

 thick, leathery foliage; color light red with 

 violet bloom; fruit very large, tender, sweet 

 and juicy. 



Black Grapes 



Champion. Ripens about the same time as 

 Moore's Early; flesh sweet and juicy. 



Concord. Ripens the beginning of August. 

 From sheer merit Concord has become the most 

 popular grape in the United States. Taking the 

 country as a whole, more Concords are now in 

 bearing than of any other variety. No other 

 grape succeeds over such a wide area or in so 

 many different soils. It is the standard by 

 which others are judged — the standby in grapes. 

 New varieties may come, but they have to work 

 hard to reach the Concord standard for market 

 purposes. Matures early, keeps well, ships well 

 and sells well. Bunches big, berries juicy, sweet 

 and delicious. Concord overcomes local grape 

 troubles and is safe to plant. 



Eaton. Foliage similar to Concord. Hardy 

 and productive; very juicy. 



McPike. Vigorous in vine, hardy, productive. 



Moore's Early. Ripens a little before Con- 

 cord. Berries large and fine; very black; 

 bunches medium size, held together firmly; 

 flesh pulpy, better than medium quality; flavor 

 needs no apology anywhere. Stands handling 

 and shipping well, and has an established repu- 

 tation on all markets. Vines healthy and hardy, 

 thrive in almost any soil or climate where 

 grapes will grow at all. Valuable market va- 

 riety and for commercial planting perhaps 

 leaves very little to be desired. Moore's Early 

 is one of the most profitable grapes to grow, 

 as it makes a fine showing when packed prop- 

 erly; can be put on the market in advance of 

 every other variety when grape lovers are will- 

 ing to pay almost any price for their favorite 

 fruit, and it stands shipping in a way to leave 

 nothing to be desired. 



Worden. Large berries and bunches. A hand- 

 some black grape with a beautiful bloom, and 

 in quality the fruit is extra fine, being sweet 

 and juicy.

White Grapes 



Diamond. Medium size; of fine quality, rich, 

 luscious and sweet; bears early, is hardy, pro- 

 ductive and vigorous. 



Empire State. Berries of medium size; qual- 

 ity fine; bunch long and compact. 



Martha. Seedling of Concord and ripens at 

 same time; medium in bunch and berry; sweet. 

 A good grower and bearer; hardy. 



Niagara. Ripens in August. The leading 

 white market grape, and often referred to as 

 the White Concord, as it holds the place among 

 the white grapes that Concord does among the 

 blacks. Bunch and berry large, greenish white, 

 changing to pale yellow when fully ripe, the 

 berries being covered with a beautiful bloom 

 which is very attractive; quality excellent. Ni- 

 agara is the most largely planted of all white 

 varieties, both in home and commercial 

 orchards. For the home grounds it makes a 

 fine companion to Concord, and when grown in 

 a commercial way is very profitable, as it is 

 eagerly bought up in market and always com- 

 mands good prices. 



Pocklington. Berries large; golden yellow; 

 sweet and tender. The vine is hardy and 

 healthy, and bears full crops regularly. The 

 foliage is large and handsome and produces a 

 beautiful effect on the arbor or trellis.
