GRAPES 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY 
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 quaUty when proper- 
ly 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. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN. New. Found 
growing in a garden on the side of the 
Green Mountains in Vermont, at an 
altitude of 1,400 feet, where it ripened 
its fruit perfectly. Vine strong, vigorous, 
healthy, very hardy and productive. 
Bunch long, compact, shouldered. 
Color green or greenish white; skin thin; 
pulp exceedingly tender and sweet. 
Very early, being three weeks earlier 
than Concord. 
MOORE'S DIAMOND. Vine vigorous, 
with large, dark, healthy foliage, proHfic. 
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 a 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, com- 
bining the sprightliness of that variety 
with the richness and sweetness of Del- 
aware; 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 come to stay.
