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. (See engraving.) Price, 2-year vines, 

 75c. each; $7. .50 per doz. 



Hardy Black Grape 



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 ofif or shell 

 from stem. Price, 2-year vines, 30c. each; 83.00 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,
