Campbell's Early. E. Some points of special merit in Campbell'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, and as the seeds 

 part readily, they need never be swallowed. Its season is very early, and in keeping qualities 

 remarkable having hung upon the vines sound and perfect for six weeks or more after ripen- 

 ing with no tendency to fall off or shell from the stem. Price, 2-year vines, 40c. each, S4.00 per doz.
