New Hardy Red Grape. 



Ready Oct. 25th. 

 Caco or Catawba-Concord. A cross between the old 'avorite 

 Catawba and the well-known Concord. It ripens a little in 

 advance of the Concord. This variety fully equals the Con- 

 cord 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 ten- 

 derness of pulp, luscious flavor and aroma the Catawba, 

 while it is as prolific as the Concord. {See cut.) Price. 2 

 year vines, 7oc. each; $7.50 per doz.

 bloom; skin thin, but very tenacious; flesh firm but tender, parting easily 

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