New Hardy Red Grape 



Caco or Catawba-Concord. A cross between the 

 old favorite Catawba and the well-known Concord. 

 It ripens a little in advance of the Concord. This 

 variety fully equals the Concord in strength and 

 rapidity of growth and is very hardy. The color is a 

 rich, sparkling wine-red, with abundant bloom. 

 Bunch large; berry medium to large and almost 

 round.' The crowning merit, however, is its quality, 

 surpassing in tenderness of pulp, luscious flavor and 

 . aroma the Catawba, while it is as prolific as the 

 Concord. Price, 2-year vines, 75c. each; $7.50 

 per doz.

Campbell's Early. E. Some points of special merit in Camp- 

 bell's Early are a very strong, vigorous, hardy vine, with thick, 

 heavy, mildew-resisting foliage, and bearing abundant clusters; 

 very large, compact and handsome. Berries large, often an inch 

 or more in diameter; black, with light purple bloom; skin thin, but 

 very tenacious; flesh firm but tender, parting easily from its few 

 and small seeds. Flavor rich, sweet, slightly vinous, free from 

 foxiness. Its season is very early, and its keeping qualities re- 

 markable; having hung upon the vines sound and perfect for six 

 weeks or more after ripening, with no tendency to fall off or shell 

 from stem. Price, 2-year vines, 30c. each; $3.00 per doz. 



Hardy White Grape 



Green Mountain. E. E. (Winchell.) This, the earliest white 

 grape, has been thoroughly tested over a wide area, and has proved 

 most satisfactory. It combines hardiness, fruitfulness, vigor, good 

 size and excellent quality. Bunch medium to large, shouldered; 

 berries medium, greenish-white; skin thin, tough, pulp tender, 

 sweet, with few seeds; the flavor is excellent. Price, 2-year vines,
