ENDORSEMENTS 



By the Pastor of M. E. Church, Little Silver, N. J. 



"At the Monmouth County Agricultural Fair, your new grape, Catawba-Con- 

 cord, by their compact bunches, large size and most beautiful color, at once attracted 

 my attention ; and I said to a friend, ' They are beautiful.* Now having tested 

 their eating qualities, I am frank to acknowledge, that for juiciness, sweetness and 

 flavor, it is the most delicious grape I have ever eaten. " 



JOSEPH GARRISON. 



By the Attorney General of New Jersey. 



" For the past three years I have watched the grape you have named Catawba- 

 Concord growing in your vineyard near Tinton Falls. As your farm joins lands of 

 my own, I have seen your vineyard a great many times and have noted the vigor of 

 the vines. I know of no variety that has finer or more healthy foliage or one that 

 is more prolific. The fruit is certainly of very superior quality — surpassing all hardy 

 grapes of which I have any knowledge. I know of no grape which is as attractive 

 to me as this new variety of yours."

" The Catawba-Ccnccrd grape has an exceptionally hardy vine ; fully equal 

 in strength and rapidity of growth to the Concord. The grape is of a better color 

 than the Catawba, it beirg a wine red, and absolutely free from blemish or spots 

 and is one of the most beautiful grapes when packed for market. 



"Its greatest merit, however, is in its quality. The Catawba-Concord has all 

 ths excellence of the Catawba while it is as prolific as the Concord. The grape so 

 far has not been affected either by insects or by fungus pests, and it is believed to 

 be immune. It has been in bearing on the Lovett farms for many years and has not 

 apparently been attacked by any insect or fungus enemy. The vineyard in full bear- 

 ing is a wondrous sight and the vine bears equal to the Concord when the latter is 

 at its best. No spraying is needed, at least so far in its history, the vine being able 

 to resist all attacks." 



JOHN H. COOK. 



By the Hon. John Lewis Childs. 



"I believe it is, in all-around good qualities, the best grape I have ever eaten."
