Hardy Grapes 



By mail postpaid at dozen rates, if desired. If by mail at 100 rates, add 50c per 100 for one year vines and 

 75c per 100 for two year vines. Thousand rates of any upon application. 



Plant in rows six feet apart and eight feet apart in the row. Dig holes sufficiently large to amply accommodate 

 the roots of the vine and use only fine surface soil in filling in, mixing it with a little ground bone if to be had 

 handily. Cut back one year vines to two eyes, placing the lower one beneath the surface; cut back two-year vines to 

 three or four eyes, putting two eyes below the surface. 



CATAWBA-CONCORD 



The Quality Grape. 

 The Grape for everybody, everywhere. 



A complete union of the grand 

 old Catawba and the ever popu- 

 lar Concord. 



This grape is a cross between 

 the Catawba and Concord, scien- 

 tifically made, and possesses the 

 merits of both varieties with the 

 defects of neither. 



Fifty years ago the Catawba 

 was universally popular; it is 

 still the standard of excellence, 

 in quality, among hardy grapes; 

 but having become enfeebled 

 with the infirmities of old age, 

 it can no longer be grown suc- 

 cessfully, except in favored loca- 

 tions; by reason of its foliage 

 being subject to downy-mildew 

 and the fruit to black rot. It 

 also ripens quite late — too late 

 for most regions. 



Concord, as is well known, is 

 unexcelled in productiveness, in 

 vigor and hardiness of vine and 

 in freedom from disease of 

 foliage. The good properties of 

 Catawba-Concord are : 



1. High quality — equalling in 

 tenderness of pulp, sweet 

 luscious flavor and aroma the 

 Catawba with added sweetness 

 and juiciness. 



2. Rich sparkling light red; 

 with abundant bloom. 



3. Bunch large and compact- 

 just like the Catawba.

Berry medium to large and nearly round — exactly like the Concord. 

 Season early; a little in advance of Concord. 

 Skin thin and tough; much like Catawba but thinner. 

 Berry adheres firmly to bunch; hence. 

 A superior shipper and keeper. 



Exempt from both black-rot and brown-rot; and all other diseases. 



Vine of extreme vigor — a stronger grower than the Concord — and of ironclad hardihood. 

 A heavy annual yielder — as prolific as Concord. 

 Foliage similar to Concord and of like freedom from mildew. 

 Entirely without foxiness in odor or flavor. 

 Catawba-Concord has been given ten years of the severest kind of test — never petted — and "has not been found 

 wanting" in any way. I have several acres of vineyard of it at my Clover Hill Farm, near Tinton Falls, N. J. 

 All who would like to see it in bearing, are hereby extended a cordial invitation to visit the farm and inspect it. 



It is good beyond comparison with hardy grapes — as luscious and as tender in pulp as the finest hot house 

 grapes — as easily grown as the Concord. "There's notliing like it." 

 Price of strong vines, each $1.00; dozen, $12.00; 100, $100.00.
