CONCORD 



Harrison's Super Strain 



Black, midseason. The most popular and ex- 

 tensively planted grape in America. It adopts 

 itself to varying conditions and is grown in 

 most every state in the union. Large, compact 

 bunches of dark purplish black colored berries. 

 The berries are covered with a rich bloom, skin 

 IS tender, but is sufficiently firm to carry to 

 distant morkets; flesh is juicy, sweet and ten- 

 der. 



Exceptionally Heavy Yields 



Concord is a very vigorous grower, hardy ond 

 very productive. It ripens during midseason, 

 and is rated as the best money-making com- 

 mercial variety.
