^^' CRAPE VINES "^ 



Mr. W. G. McAllister of New York 

 State has complete charge of selecting 

 our Grape cuttings from True To Name 

 bearing vineyards in New York State. 

 Mr. McAllister surely knows his Grapes, 

 and we are glad to add this well-known 

 authority on grapes to our Staff, knowing 

 that our customers will benefit by his ex- 

 perience. This is just another step taken 

 by Townsend's in growing for our cus- 

 tomers the best there is to be had. 



CONCORD 



CONCORD. The Concord is the most 

 extensively planted black grape. 

 Bunches are very compact and of ex- 

 cellent quality. Concord is perfectly 

 hardy in the extreme North and very 

 productive. The season of ripening is 

 midseason to late. You will find Con- 

 cord one of the best all around grape 

 varieties that you can grow. As a com- 

 mercial variety Concord stands out 

 supreme. For the home there is no 

 better black grape grown. Townsend's 

 hardy grown Concord will give you ex- 

 cellent results. 



Nowhere in the country is the climate and soils more favorable for the 

 growing of selected Grape Vines than here on the Eastern Shore of Mary- 

 land. We have a full eight months in which to grow our vines and mature 

 them. Our soils are such that all Grape Vines have an abundance of fiber- 

 ous roots and extra large buds. Our customers tell us that the size of our 

 2 year old canes and the root system of our plants are superior to any they 

 have ever purchased. 



Plenty of humus is added to our soil where we grow our Grape Vines. 

 Nothing is spared in the way of cultivation and fertilizer to produce a 

 vine that will be healthy and strong rooted; a vine that will grow off 

 quickly for our customers and produce the desired growth the first year 

 set. 



We Offer Selected Stock Both In One and Two Year Grade 

 CATAWBA. Late ripening Grape. Large, firm and very sweet; fruit of 

 copper red color, produced in large compact bunches. 



DZSIiAWARi:. The standard of excellence — ripens early, juicy and sweet 

 berries of amber color, vines hardy and productive. 



IVES. This is one of the outstanding wine grapes. Color bright red, close 

 set on the bunches, rather a heavy producer. Planted heavily before pro- 

 hibition for the wineries. Now there is not enough stock to go around. We 

 would advise the planting of this fine variety to a large extent for steady 

 income. 



MOOBE'S EARIiY. A seedling of Concord, ripens two weeks earlier, pro- 

 ducing large black fruit of excellent quality. One of the best black grapes. 



NIAGARA. One of the largest white grapes. Handsome compact bunches, 

 delicious flavor. A strong grower ripening with Concord. 



WORDXIN. Very popular bluish black, ripens two weeks earlier than 

 Concord. Large compact bunches, excellent flavor and hardy grower.
