Acreage and Varieties. 
The standard varieties are the Concord, the Worden, and the 
Moore Early, but a small acreage of almost all the other leading 
varieties is found. As usual, the Concord leads, comprising from 75 
to 85 per cent of the shipments. As this is preeminently an early 
section, the best prices usually being realized before the Michigan 
crop comes on with its heavy shipments, there is a large proportion 
of the early varieties, and the Worden and the Moore assume 
a greater relative importance than in New York or Michigan. The 
date of ripening varies somewhat in this section because of the dif- 
ference in latitude, but the main shipping season of the Moore Early 
and the Worden is from the middle of August to the first week in
