GRAPES 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY. 
musky flavor. Does best against buildings. 
Two weeks later than Isabella. Requires 
good culture and warm seasons to mature 
perfectly, and is then one of the very best of 
our native grapes. 
CLINTON. Black; bunches small and 
very compact; berries small, with sprightly 
flavor. A good table Grape when thoroughly 
ripe, and keeps well. 
CONCORD. Black; bunch large, shoulder- 
ed, compact; berries large, tender-skinned, 
juicy, sweet; vine strong growing, hardy, 
productive. The standard market Grape of 
America. 
DELAWARE. Small, Hght-rcd, thin-skin- 
ned; very juicy, sweet and sprightly. Slow 
growing and tender; requires a rich soil and 
a favorable situation on the south side of a 
building to succeed well; of the highest 
quality when properly grown. 
EATON. Bxmch and berries very large, 
covered with a heavy blue bloom ; pulp tender, 
separating freely from the seeds, very juicy; 
vine healthy, hardy and productive. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN. New. Found grow- 
ing in a garden on the side of the Green 
Mountains in Vermont, at an altitude of 
tf^ 1,400 feet, where it ripened its fruit perfectly. 
Vine strong, \'igorous, healthy, very hardy 
and prodvictive. Btwch long, compact, shoul- 
Grapes will flourish and bear abund- 
antly on almost any good, dry soil, espe- 
cially if the vines are trained against a 
building. Soil should be well drained and 
there should be a free exposure to sim and 
air. Because some of the more tender va- 
rieties will not grow, it is not necessary to 
conclude that others will not succeed. 
There are kinds adapted to almost every 
locality that may be grown on a very cheap 
and simple arbor, even on single poles or 
stakes. Annual and careful pruning is es- 
sential to the production of good Grapes; 
this should be done in winter when the 
vines are dormant. 
BRIGHTON. In color, form of bunch 
and berry, resembles Catawba, combining 
the sprightliness of that variety with the 
richness and sweetness of Delaware; vine 
vigorous, hardy, productive. 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY. Seedling of Moore's 
Early. A vigorous, hardy grower, with 
healthy and abundant foliage which resists 
mildew. Bears profusely large clusters of 
fruit, usually shouldered and compact. 
Berries nearly round, black, with blue 
bloom; skin thin but tenacious; flesh rather 
finn, tender, rich, sweet, slightly vinous, 
with no foxiness or acidity. Ripens early, 
and hangs on the vine six weeks after 
rijiening. We believe it has come to stay. 
CATAWBA. A very late keeper; choco- 
late-colored; sweet, rich, with pleasant 
GREEN MOUNTAIN.
