J. T. Lovett Co.— Grapes. 



MOORE'S BlAPnON; 



A pure native, being a cross between the Concord and lona. Vine a 

 vigorous grower, with large, dark, healthy 

 foliage, which is entirely free from mildew. 

 The parent vine has been in fruiting for 

 several years past, near Rochester, N. Y., 

 without the least protection, ripening Its 

 wood and coming out sound and bright 

 to the very tip every spring, even during 

 severe winters, when other varieties con- 

 sidered hardy have killed badly. Other 

 vines propagated from it have proved 

 equally hardy and healthy with only ordi- 

 nary cultivation, in the open field. It is a 

 prolific bearer, producing large, handsome, 

 compact bunches, slightly shouldered. The 

 color is a delicate greenish -white, with a 

 rich yellow tinge when fully ripe; skin 

 smooth, very few seeds, juicy and almost 

 entirely free from pulp, which makes it al- 

 most transparent when held to the light. 

 Berry about the size of Concord, and adheres 

 firmly to the stem. It ripens early, us- 

 ually from August 25th to September 10th, 

 in tne latitud'^ of Rochester, N. Y. 



''In my opinion, 'Moore's Diamond' is the 

 finest white grape, all points considered, 

 that has yet been produced in this country 

 —far superior to Niagara or Pocklington, 

 which are coarse in comparison with it. It 

 ripened with me about v, iththeDelawares ." 

 —Editor Vick's Magazine. 



"I consider the variety superior, every 

 way, to other varieties of its season and 

 blood (Labrusca) now before the public, ri- 

 pening early.— T. V. MUNSON.

EATON.— A seedling of Concord but claimed of more vigorous growth, auite as productive, with 

 larger and better fruit. Bunch very large, compact; berries verv large, round, black, covered with a thick

 with some pulp, though tender. Not as sweet as the Concord but has less of the native odor. Season
