The Ideal Grape 



SWEET HOME OR SUGAR GRAPE (A Fitting Consort for Queen Caco) 



As Caco is the most beautiful and de- 

 licious of all hardy reci grapes, in like man- 

 ner Ideal is the sweetest and best of all 

 black grapes. It is, beyond doubt, the 

 swee;test grape in existence — of any kind or 

 color. y'^" 



It originated with the late James Hul- 

 bert, a veteran grape grower of Ohio and has 

 been under cateful and painstaking test for 

 eleven yearsv- The clusters are invariably 

 very compact (even more so than the grand 

 old Isabella) seldom shouldered and of good 

 size. Berries nearly round of medium size, 

 with a thin tough skin, jet black with a 

 heavy blue bloom. The texture is tender, 

 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 ha:s become known, the retail 

 stores can sell no fruit of Concord or any 

 other grape, after the Ideal makes its ap- 

 pearance. 



The vine is of iron-clad hardihood, a 

 vigorous grower, with large, deep green 

 Concord-like leaves that have never shoAvn 

 any signs of mildew or blight and the fruit 

 is absolutely immune to rot. It is phenom- 

 enally prolific. Season quite early — a little 

 in advance of Concord. 



For several years I have been watching 

 and each year testing the fruit of this re- 

 markable grape and have finally purchased 

 the entire stock of it with the sole right to 



propagate and introduce it; and although I paid a large sum for tliis 

 control, I feel I am fortunate in securing it. It is difficult to ju-oijii- 

 gate and the supply of vines is as yet limited. 



"I want to thank you for the generous sample of your new Grape 

 'Ideal' which you sent me last week. It certainly 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 had the chance to see and sample this grape and thus be qualified to give it 

 my, endorsement."— £J. S. Black (Ex-president N. J. State Horticultural Society). 



One year, each, 75c; dozen, $7.50. Two years, each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 



"I wish to say the Caco grape vines I bought 

 from you fruited heavily this year and they are 

 the best flavored grapes I ever tasted" — M. W. 

 Miller (Cal.). ' ; 



"The Caco Grape is the best groVj-S^ i'ever planted. 

 It is bearing its second crop it is fine." — 



Amos Mills (Ohio). ^ 



"I wish to state the Caco Grape fills your re- 

 commendation of it." — S. G. Boyd (N. Y.). 



"The most conspicuous new grape variety is 

 Caco, which I know to be deliciously sweet, highly 

 flavored and melting texture." — From Garden 

 Magazine. 



"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. Cozine (Ky.)
