GRAPES 



Campbell's Early— Its strong, hardy vigorous growth; thick, 

 heavy, perfectly healthy foliage; very early ripening and abund- 

 ant bearing of large and handsome clusters of excellent quality, 

 combined with the most remarkable keeping and shipping qualit 

 ies, form a combination not equaled by any other grape. Its period 

 of full maturity is from the middle to the last of August, accord- 

 ing to the season, ripening with Moore's Early, but, un ike that 

 variety, it has kept sound and perfect, both on and off the vine for 

 week;) after Moore's Early was decayed and gone. In dessert qual- 

 ity it is unrivaled by any^of our present list of first early market 

 grapes. It is, both as to cluster and berry, of large size, of a glossy 

 black color, with a beautiful blue bloom; pulp sweet and juicy; 

 free from foxiness; seeds small, few in number and ] art readily 

 from the pulp. 



Poclington — Bunch and berries large, when fully ripe a light 

 golden yellow; juicy, tender, sweet, with little pulp. Vine thorough- 

 ly hardy, strong grower, free from mildew; productive. One of 

 the most satisfactory white varieties. 



Wyoming — Vine very hardy, healthy and robust, with thick 

 leathery foliage; color of berry similar to Delaware, but brighter, 

 being one of the most beautiful of the amber or red grapes, and in 

 size nearly double that of the Delaware; flesh tender juicy, sweet, 

 with a strong native aroma. Ripens before Delaware. The best 

 early red market variety. 



Salem(Roger's No. 53.) — A strong, vigorous vine; berries large, 

 Catawba color; thin skin, free from hard pulp, very sweet and 

 sprightly; ripens first of September. 



Ulster — Exceedingly productive; clusters medium to small, 

 compact, berries of good size, of dull copper color; a good shipper 

 and keeper; quality rich and excellent; ripens early. 



Vergennes— Berries large, holding firmly to the stem; light 

 amber; rich and delicious. Is an excellent late keeper. 



Wilder (Roger's No. 4) — Bunch and berry very large, round, 

 flesh tolerably tender, sprightly, sweet and agreeable. 



27 



Brighton— Bunch large, well formed; berries above medium to 

 large, round; excellent flavor and quality, one of the earliest in 

 ripening. 



Delaware— Bunches small, compact, shouldered; berries 

 rather small, round; skin thin, light red; flesh very juicy, sweet, 

 spicy and delicious. 



Woodruff— Of ironclad hardiness. A rank grower and very 

 healthy. The fruit is large in bunch and berry, attractive, 

 shouldered, sweet and of fair quality. Desirable as a market 

 variety wnere many others fail. Ripens soon after Concord. 

 Occupies same position among red market grapes as Concord 

 among the black ones 



Concord— The well known standard variety, succeeds where- 

 ever grapes will grow. 



Eaton— Seedling of the Concord. Bunch and berries of larg- 

 est size, showy and attractive. Leaf large, thick and leathery; 

 berries round, covered with heavy blue bloom, pulp tender, sep- 

 arating freely from the seeds. 



Hartford— Bunch and berries large, round, of medium qual- 

 ity. Very early, hardy and prolific. 



Ives— Bunch medium to large, compact, of ten shouldered, ber- 

 ries medium, slightly oblontr, of a dark purple color. 



Diamond— The leading early white grape, ripening before 

 Moore's Early. White with rich yellow tinge; juicy, few seeds, 

 al'nost free from pulp, excellent quality; above medium size, ad- 

 heres firmly to stem. Vine like Concord in growth, hardiness and 

 foliage. Fine variety for both market and home garden. 



floore's Early— Bunch large; berry large, round, with heavy 

 blue bloom, vine exceedingly hardy. Its earliness makes it de- 

 sirable for an early market; its hardiness particularly adapts it to 

 Canada and Northern portions of the United States; succeeds ad- 

 mirably in the south. 



Worden— A splendid large grape of the Concord type, but 

 earlier, larger in bunch and berry, and of decidedly better quality; 

 vine hardier than that old stand-by, and every way as healthy.
