GRAPES, continued 



Concord. Black. Early; decidedly the most 

 popular Grape in America, and deservedly so. 

 Bunch large, shouldered, compact; berries large, 

 covered with a rich bloom; skin tender, but suffi- 

 ciently firm to carry well. Succeeds everywhere. 



Delaware. Red. Compact bunch, very deli- 

 cious; always bring the highest price in market and 

 always considered the best for home use. Berries 

 small; skin thin, but firm. Ripens with Concord, or 

 a little before. It should be in every garden. 



Diamond. White. Bunch large, compact, 

 shouldered; berries large, round; skin thin, but tough; 

 flesh tender, spicy, with but little pulp. Vine a 

 good grower, with thick, healthy foliage; hardy and 

 productive; very fine quality. Ripens a little before 

 Concord. 



Martha. White. Sometimes turns pale yellow 

 when fully ripe. Bunch medium, compact, shoul- 

 dered; berries medium; skin thin, tender; flesh very 

 sweet. Vine healthy and hardy. Similar to Concord 

 in appearance and habit. Ripens with Concord. 



Eaton. Black. Similar in foliage to Concord. 

 In growth, health, hardiness of vine and in every 

 other respect its equal, while in size of bunch and 

 berry it is much larger and more attractive. 

 Ripens a little earlier than Concord. Adheres 

 firmly to the stem; skin thin, but tough; pulp ten- 

 der, separating freely from the seeds and dissolving 

 easily in the mouth; very juicy. 



Elvira. White. Bunch and berry 

 medium. Very compact. Vine a vigorous, 

 strong, healthy grower and very pro- 

 ductive. Ripens late; about with Catawba. 



Empire State. White. Bunch medium 

 long, compact; berries medium, quality 

 best; vine a strong grower, hardy, with a 

 large, healthy foliage and short-jointed 

 canes, which ripen early. Superior in 

 quality to Niagara. 



Lindley. Red. Bunch medium long, 

 not usually shouldered; berries large; flesh 

 tender, sweet, with high aromatic flavor 

 of best quality. A good keeper, with firm, 

 tough skin. Ripens with Delaware. Vine- 

 healthy, vigorous and hardy. 



Moore's Early. Black. Bunch; rarely 

 shouldered, not quite so large as Concord; 

 berries larger and very much like it in 

 flavor and quality. Foliage thick, leathery, 

 somewhat resembling Concord, except on 

 the under side, which is covered with a 

 yellowish brown down. Ripens so early 

 as to be nearly out of the market before 

 Concord starts in, therefore a very popular 

 early market variety. Succeeds best on 

 rich soil. 



Niagara. White. Bunch very large 

 and handsome, often shouldered, compact; 

 berries large, round; skin thin, tough, does 

 not crack and carries well; has not much 

 •pulp when fully ripe; melting, sweet, with 

 a flavor and aroma peculiarly its own and 

 agreeable to most tastes; ripens with 

 Concord. Vine very vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. Succeeds everywhere and is a 

 favorite with every grower and buyer. 



Pocklington. Pale green. Usually 

 with a tinge of golden yellow where ex- 

 posed to the sun; bunch large, compact;

 white bloom; flesh juicy, sweet, with con- 



siderable pulp. Foliage large and healthy. A seed- 

 ling of the Concord, ripening soon after. 



Wilder. Black. Bunch large, shouldered; berries 

 large; skin thick and firm; flesh sweet, tender and 

 sprightly, pleasant flavor; a good keeper. Ripens 

 early or about with Concord. Vine healthy, vigorous 

 and productive. A popular market variety. 



Woodruff Red. Red. Originated in Michigan.
