GRAPES 
Grapes will flourish and bear abund- 
antly on almost any good, dry soil, especially 
if the vines are trained against a building. 
Soil should be well-drained and there should 
be free exposure to sun and air. Because 
some of the more tender varieties 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 essential 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 firm, tender, rich, sweet, 
slightly vinous, with no foxiness or acidity. 
Ripens early, and hangs on the vine six 
weeks after ripening. We believe it has 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY come to stay. 
CONCORD. Black, bunch large, shouldered, compact; berries large, tender-skinned, 
juicy, sweet ; vine strong growing, hardy, productive. The standard market grape of America. 
DELAWARE. Small, light-red, thin-skinned ; 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. Bunch and berries very large, covered with a heavy blue bloom ; pulp tender, 
separating freely from the seeds, very juicy; vine healthy, hardy and productive. 
MOORE'S EARLY. One of the best very early grapes. A .seedhng of Concord, which 
it equals in vigor and hardiness of vine, but ripens ten days or two weeks earlier than that 
variety. Bunch large; berry round and large, black, with a heavy blue bloom; quality 
good.
