MOORE'S EARLY. Black. This is 

 the standard Grape of its season, ripening 

 two or three weeks earlier than Concord. 

 The berries are larger and the bunches 

 somewhat smaller than Concord, but the 

 flesh characteristics are essentially the 

 same, being melting sweet and with little 

 pulp, though with a flavor and aroma 

 peculiarly its own. The vine is hardy 

 both north and south, and is planted very 

 extensively for vineyards, as it is vigor- 

 ous, healthy and productive. This Grape 

 is the variety for the amateur, and the 

 grower who is looking for an early mar- 

 ket Grape. 



NIAGARA. White. The leading white 

 Grape of America. The bunches are large, 

 handsome, shouldered and compact. The 

 berries are large, round, with thin but 

 tough skin. In all it presents a very fine 

 appearance. The vine is vigorous and com- 

 paratively free from disease, though it 

 responds very well to any attention given 

 to spraying. It is the standard white 

 Grape, and will continue to be so for 

 some time to come. We have an excellent 

 stock of this variety. 



POCKLINGTON. White. The color 

 of the Grape is pale green to a golden yel- 

 low. The bunches are large and compact, 

 and the berries are very large, being cov- 

 ered with beautiful white bloom. The 

 quality is good and it ripens soon after 

 Concord. The vine is a moderate grower 

 and is very healthy and hardy. 



VERGENNES. Red. This variety 

 seldom fails to bear a crop and has a 

 slight tendency to overbear. With a 

 moderate crop it ripens with or before 



I 



Niagara. Has a flavor peculiarly its own 



Moore's Early. Popular for early market 



Concord. Bunch is large, compact and shouldered; 

 the berries are large, sweet, juicy and of best quality. 

 It keeps well and is used to some extent for market. 

 The vine is moderately hardy, quite healthy and very 

 productive. 



WILDER. Black. The berries are large, sweet, with 

 a pleasant, sprightly flavor, and with thin and firm skin. 

 The bunches are large and shouldered. Because of its 

 keeping qualities and good appearance it is an excellent 

 market Grape. The vine is a moderate grower, hardy 

 and, if given a little attention by spraying, makes one 

 of the best Grapes for commercial planting. It ripens 

 with Concord. It is worthy of more extensive cultiva- 

 tion. 



WORDEN. Black. An ofi'spring of Concord, which it 

 rivals in a great many particulars, having larger berries 

 and bunches, better quality, and is a week to ten days 

 earlier. While claimed by some that it does not ship 

 quite so well as Concord, nevertheless it enjoys great 

 popularity in the eastern states and near the large 

 cities. It is quite as hardy, healthy, vigorous and 

 productive. 



WYOMING RED. Red. This Grape is quite pro- 

 ductive of medium -sized, bright red, firm Grapes in 

 small bunches. The fruit is sweet and agreeable to 

 most tastes. The value lies in its hardiness, health, 

 productiveness and earliness. A most valuable Grape 

 for the home. This variety should be pruned with 

 long canes and given plenty of room.
