TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS 



DIAMOND. White. This Grape is sur- 

 passed in quaUty and beauty by few others. 

 The bunches are large, compact and should- 

 ered. The berries are large, round, juicy and 

 tender, and make verj- desirable wine. They 

 have thin but tough skin, which is a very 

 desirable market quaUty. Together with its 

 desirable fruit characteristics, it is early, 

 hardy, productive and \-igorous, which quali- 

 ties make it unsurpassed among the green type 

 of Grapes. It deserves all the praise it has 

 been given, and more. 



DELAWARE. Red. This Grape is the 

 standard by which the quality of American 

 Grapes is gauged. The berries are small, 

 juicy, sweet and with thin but firm skin. It 

 is able to withstand climatic conditions under 

 which other hardy varieties fail and to adapt 

 itself to many soils not suited to most other 

 Grapes. As a wine Grape it is among the best, 

 its early maturity insuring a crop; attractive- 

 ness in appearance, keeping quality on the 

 \ine and in the package, shipping excellence and 

 comparative immunity to black rot make it also a 

 very desirable market berry. 



ELVIRA. \\'hite. Bunch medium and very 

 compact. Berries are excellent for wine, for which 

 purpose they are mostly used. The vine is a strong 

 stalky grower, with ample foliage, and is almost per- 

 fectly hardy as far north as Canada. It is quite 

 resistant to black rot and enjoys almost entire 

 immunity to phylloxera. It ripens late, about with 

 Catawba, and is ver>- productive. 



EMPIRE STATE. Wtiite. Bunches medium, 

 long, compact; the berries are medium in size; the 

 quality is nearly as good as Diamond. It is theequal 

 of this in vigor and in resistance to disease and 

 insects. It has short -jointed canes, is productive, and 

 earlier than Niagara. The fruit keeps well on the 



One-year Concord Grape-vines 



vine and after picking and retains its flavor well for 

 quite a period of time after being picked. 



LINDLEY. Red. Bunch large, medium long; 

 berries are uniform in size, firm, fine-grained, juicy, 

 tender and with a peculiar, though pleasant, aro- 

 matic flavor. Lindley is an excellent garden Grape 

 and while not recommended for general commercial 

 planting, it is excellent as a fancy product, because of 

 its quality and attractiveness; dark red. If it is 

 given proper care, it will not disappoint you. 



MARTHA. White. This is a seedling of Concord 

 and greatly resembles its parent, but differs in the 

 following particulars: Fruit white to green, a week or 

 more earlier, bunch and berries not large, but far 

 better in quality, being sweeter, more delicate, and 

 with less foxiness and less pulp. Hardy and healthy 

 in the South.
