CONCORD. 



This fine hardy native Grape was raised from seed by E. W. Bull, 

 Concord, Mass. It is of very healthy, vigorous habit, and productive. 



Bunch rather compact, large shouldered. Berries large, globular, 

 almost black, thickly covered with bloom. Skin rather thick, with 

 more of the native pungency and aroma than the Isabella, which it re- 

 sembles, but does not quite equal in quality. Flesh somewhat buttery, 

 moderately juicy, sweet, with considerable toughness and acidity in its 

 pulp. It is more hardy than the Isabella, and ripens about ten days 

 earlier, consequently it is a very valuable variety for a large northern 

 range where the Isabella does not ripen. It is very popular, but as a 

 market sort the fruit, if left to ripen before gathered, does not carry well 

 long distances, and is liable to drop from the bunch after a few days.

 pulpy, juicy, sweet. Bipens with Concord. New. (W. F. Bas-
