early, being the first white grape to ripen, and maturing about the same time as Champion, or about 

 a week earlier than the Hartford. This qualification insures its ripening even in the worst of seasons, 

 a consideration which will be appreciated by all planters, its habit of growth is vigorous and the 

 foliage clean and healthy, while its bearing quality is all that can be desired. It can be said to be a 

 most valuable white grape, either for the amateur or professional grower, and there is every reason 

 to believe that it is destined to widespread popularity. We think that it is one of the few grapes 

 adapted to general cultivation, and of especial value for the amateur, while its earliness productiveness 

 and vigor, combined with fine quality, in our opinion render it also very desirable for market, i year,
