"The Caco Grape vines I bought of you two 

 years ago are well loaded with most delicious 

 Grapes, "it is all you claim for it.'' — /. A. Meyer 

 (Pa.). 



"I want to congratulate you on your Caco Grape 

 . . . The flavor is simply delicious — the best 

 I have ever eaten. I intend to plant it." — Peter 

 Duff. 



"We had a fine lot of Caco Grapes which I 

 believe to be the finest Grape grown." — M. W. 

 Penrod (Ind.). 



"My Caco Grape also fruited for the first time. 

 They'were delightfully flavored and the bunches 

 large for the first year." — B. B. Cojrine (Ky.). 



Iowa, February, 1915. 

 I am sending you herewith order for Caco 

 Grape vines. The Caco Grape I bought of 

 you and planted in April, 1912, is doing finely. 

 It is a rapid grower, as much so as Concord. 

 It had a few bunches of grapes in 1913 and 

 was loaded with splendid branches of Grapes 

 in 1914. Bunches large and compact, berries 

 larger than Concord, quality best in a lot of 

 over fift}' varieties I am growing.

Mercer Co., X.J., October 23, 1916. 

 Your Caco Grapes are all you claim for 

 them. I have had seventy-four varieties in 

 my vineyard. The only new variety of grape 

 that I have found in recent years that is valu- 

 able is your Caco.

THE IDEAL GRAPE 



Sweet Home or Sugar Grape (A Fitting Consort for Queen Caco) 



As Caco is the most beautiful and 

 delicious of all hardy red grapes, in 

 like manner Ideal is the sweetest and 

 best of all black grapes. It is, be- 

 yond doubt, the sweetest grape in ex- 

 istence — of any kind or color. 



It originated with the late James 

 Hulbert, a veteran Grape grower of 

 Ohio and has been under careful and 

 painstaking test for eleven years. The 

 clusters are invariably very compact 

 (even more so than the grand old 

 Isabella) seldom shouldered and of 

 good size. Berries nearly round, ofi 

 medium size, with a thin, tough skin,^ 

 jet black with a heavy blue bloom. 

 The texture is tender, pulp melting, 

 vinous, the flavor pure and refined, 

 brisk, sprightly and refreshing and of 

 almost honey sweetness. There is 

 no other Grape, hardy or exotic, that 

 is at all like it in quality or flavor. In 

 Mr. Hulbert's home town, where it 

 has become known, the retail stores 

 can sell no fruit of Concord or any 

 other Grape, after the Ideal makes 

 its appearance. 



The vine is of iron-clad hardihood, 

 a vigorous grower, with large, deep 

 green Concord-like leaves that have 

 never shown any signs of mildew or 

 blight and the fruit is absolutely im- 

 mune to rot. It is phenomenally pro- 

 lific. Season quite early — a little in 

 advance of Concord. 



For several years I have been 

 watching and each year testing the 

 fruit of this remarkable Grape and 

 have finally purchased the entire stock 



of it with the sole right to propagate and introduce it; an- 

 although I paid a large sum for this control, I feel I am 

 fortunate in securing it. It is difficult to propagate and the 

 supply of vines is as yet limited. 



'T want to thank you for the generous sample of your 

 new Grape 'Ideal' which you sent me last week. It cer- 

 tainly is 'ideal' in cluster, size of berry and quality. The 

 cluster is so compact and even in shape, the berries are not 

 too large (but large enough for a table Grape), the quality 

 is best. If it proves to be a healthy and prolific vine, then 

 its popularity will be at once established as an 'ideal' Grape. 



"I am very glad to have the chance to see and sample this Grape and thus be qualified to 

 give it my endorsement."— £. S. Black (Ex-President X.J. State Horticultural Society).
