Concord — Monarch of hardy grapes. This 
hardy black grape is decidedly the most 
popular grape on the American market, 
and deservedly so. Bunch large, shoul- 
dered, compact; berries large, covered with 
a rich bloom; skin tender but sufficiently 
firm to carry well to distant markets; flesh 
juicy, sweet pulp, tender; vine a strong 
grower, very hardy, healthy and product- 
ive. For general cultivation the most 
reliable and profitable variety. 
Delaware 
Moore's Early — Clusters of medium size; 
berries large, round, black, with heavy 
blue bloom. Desirable for market on 
account of its earliness. Well suited for 
Canada and northern portions of the 
United States. 
Delaware — The bunches are small, compact, 
and sometimes shouldered; berries are 
small, with thin but firm skin; flesh juicy, 
very sweet and refreshing, and of the best 
quality for both table use and for vine. 
Ripens with Concord, or a little before; 
vine is hardy, productive, and a moderate 
grower. 
Pears 
Seckel — A beautiful and delicious little pear 
that is the standard of excellence in its 
class. One of the richest and highest 
flavored pears known. Always in demand 
for desserts and lunches, and better known 
than any pear of its class. They make 
slow but stout and erect growth. Sep- 
tember and October. 
Garber — A large juicy pear of fair quality, 
but rather coarse grained, yet a splendid 
sort for canning, and highly profitable. 
Color a beautiful bright yellow. Tree 
remarkably free from blight; hardy and 
healthy. A good sort to plant among 
others, particularly Kieffer, as a pollenizer. 
For large yields and profits Garber and 
Kieffer are profitable. Garber is gone 
before Kieffer comes in. 
Kieffer — One of the best market varieties 
and an excellent keeper. This superb 
variety is often under-estimated because 
large quantities of it are shipped to market 
in an immature condition, and before the 
fruit has attained proper size. However, 
there are few pears that are more attract- 
ive than the Kieffer, if it is allowed to hang 
on the tree until the beginning of October, 
and is then ripened in a cool dark room. 
If handled in this manner the quality of 
the flesh is the best, exceedingly juicy and 
of sprightly sub-acid flavor. Kieffer pears 
are being planted more and more by the 
Kieffer 
largest commercial fruit growers of the 
country, and this fact is sufficient proof 
that the merits of this excellent sort are 
more and more recognized. The trees 
are apt to set too much fruit, and in order 
to obtain choice fruit of large size, it should 
be thinned early in the season. 
Anjou — This is one of the best known, most 
popular and profitable late pears. The 
tree is a vigorous grower, hardy and pro- 
lific. The pears are of large size, green 
in color, but often yellowing when thor-
