Harrisons’ - Nurseries, Berlin, Md. U. S. A. 
A QUARTET OF NEW GRAPES 
These four varieties were introduced by the Geneva, 
N. Y., Experiment Station and are taking a high place 
in the grape-growing section of the Empire State. 
ONTARIO—Bunches fairly large, with a single shoulder 
and reasonably compact berries. Light green or white. 
PORTLAND—An early market variety, with extra large 
bunches and berries. Equal in size to Niagara. Light 
green. 
SHERIDAN—Said to be an extra fine variety, equaling 
Concord as a commercial sort. Bunches large and com- 
pact, while the berries have a thin skin, are large, 
sweet and good flavor. About a week later than Con- 
cord. 
URBANA—A few days later than the Catawba, therefore, 
is most successful where there is a long season. The 
vines are hardy. The berries are light.red, large, and 
with thick skin. A test shows that Urbana has been 
kept in good condition until March. 
STANDARD VARIETY OF GRAPES 
CONCORD—Too well known to need much description, as 
Concord’s grown in almost every home garden and 
vineyard. Probably it is the most popular variety and 
has an unusual wide range of territory. The big dark 
purple bunches are most enticing and sell on sight. 
DELAW ARE—Bunches medium size, full of large red ber- 
ries, which are sweet and of extra good quality. Ripens 
after Concord. 
MOORE’S EARLY—Extremely dark purple, almost black. 
Bunches medium size, but the berries are large. The 
skin is thick, so that the bunches can be handled and 
shipped without serious damage. Early August. 
NIAGARA—The best of the standard, light - colored 
Grapes. The berries are greenish white, changing to 
pale yellow when fully ripe.
