Dwarf Champion 



Honor Bright 



The best sort for dis 

 tant markets and e 

 late crop. The yellowish-green foliage and the slow ripening of the fruit 

 tend to prejudice people against the sort, but the vine can be depended 

 upon to give a big crop of uniformly good, large fruit. This, when allowed 

 to ripen on the vine, is of excellent quality and when ripened off the vine, 

 while in transit to some distant market or on shelves in the 

 house after frost has killed the vines, is of better quality 

 than that of most varieties so handled. Pick when just pass- 

 ing out of the white stage, wrap in paper and pack in boxes 

 It should be set out earlier than most sorts because of its slow 

 maturing. In the north the vines may be pulled at the ap- 

 proach of frost and hung in a moist place, safe from freezing.- 

 They will then give for a month firm, ripe, fruit, of brilliant 

 red color. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; % Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50
