 Maryland grown stram are weather-hardened and grown on the 

 soils that have made Maryland famous for fruit plants all over the

 tested for their dependable performance both in the home garden 

 and commercial plantings. You will find in these varieties fruit 

 of the highest quality, and showing outstanding supremacy over 

 most of the varieties now being offered on the market. 



NEWER VARIETIES OF GRAPES 



CACO. This new red Grape is giving promise of becoming the 

 leading red variety. On our farms this year, it was an out- 

 standing variety, both as to flavor and size of fruit, holding fruit 

 well after ripening. 



CHAMPAGNE. A delicious white Grape, turning to amber 

 when fully ripe; extremely large and juicy. Never before have we 

 seen as large compact bunches of grapes as this variety produces. 

 Strong, sturdy grower. Don't fail to get some of this variety; you 

 will be delighted with them. 



FBEDONIA. Originated in New York State Agricultural Experi- 

 ment station. Black, ripens very early; berries large, juice and 

 sweet; borne in large, compact clusters; bunches are compact and 

 very attractive. 



ONTARIO. White. Follows Portland very closely in ripening. 

 An excellent blending of acid and sugar, hence the taste is sprightlv 

 and yet sweet. Vines strong, vigorous growers and verv productive'. 

 Another of New York State Agricultural Station's originations. 

 FORTIiAND. New white Grape developed bv New York State 

 Experiment Station. Ripens earlier than any other known Grape. 

 Berries large and have that beautiful yellow color like the Niagara. 

 Contains so much sugar that it can be eaten long before it is fully 

 ripe. 



SHERIDAN is the most promising new Grape for commercial 

 growers to compete with California vinevards. It is a late bluish 

 black Grape, large and more attractive than Concord, and is 

 superior in keeping qualities. Fruit is produced in large handsome 

 clusters and many of them on each vine. 'We recommend this Grape 

 to all our customers in the Middle Atlantic States.
