small seeds; sweet to the center; skin thick and tough, without a stringency. 
Ripens about with Concord.

BRIGHTON — A superior family grape; its remarkable vigor and hardiness 
of vine, large, compact bunches, rich wine shade of the ripened berry, deli- 
cate' skin, tender, almost seedless pulp, sugary juice and rich flavor are com- 
bined qualities that are not united in such a degree in any other sort; it rip- 
ens a week or 10 days before the Delaware and bears most abundantly; es- 
pecially commended as a standard variety for the vineyard or garden. 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY — A seedling of Moore’s Early crossed with pollen 
of a choice seedling that resulted from a cross of Muscat Hamburg on Belvi- 
dere. It is regarded by Mr. Campbell as the finest grape in all respects that 
he has produced in 40 years of experimenting; cluster large, shouldered, 
moderately compact; stem large, long, strong; berry large, nearly round, 
slightly elongated; black, with profuse, light blue bloom; skin thin, with 
slight pulpiness; flesh translucent, very tender and very juicy; flavor sweet 
rich, aromatic; aroma delicate, not foxy; quality best both for market and 
dessert; season early. 
CATAWBA— Dark red when fully ripe; bunch large, moderately compact, 
shouldered; berries medium to large; skin thick tough; flesh somewhat pulpy, 
with rich, vinous flavor, of best quality for the table and wine; vine a good 
grower, hardy, with healthy foliage; very productive and profitable where it 
succeeds and matures well; ripens too late for high altitudes. 
CONCORD — A most popular variety; universally healthy, vigorous and 
productive; flesh somewhat buttery, moderately juicy and sweet; bunch 
large; nearly black, with bloom; early. Much is said about some grape to 
take the place of the Concord, its poor quality, etc., but the fact is generally 
recognized that the man who plants and cares for Concord vines will get 
bountiful crops of grapes, and if they are allowed to remain on the vines until 
fully matured the quality is excellent. No other grape can be planted with 
the confidence that is felt in the Concord. 
DELAWARE — Superior as a table grape; bunch medium, very compact 
and generally shouldered; berries medium, roundish; skin thin, of beautiful 
dark red color when fully ripe; flesh tender and juicy, scarcely any pulp, ex- 
ceedingly sweet, but still brisk and vinous; vine very hardy, moderately vig- 
orous and very productive. Ripens very early in September. 
DIAMOND — The leading early white grape, ripens before Moore’s Early; 
white, with rich yellow tinge; juicy, few seeds, almost free from pulp, excell- 
ent quality; above medium size; adheres firmly to stem; vine like Concord 
in growth, hardiness and foliage; fine variety for both market and home 
garden. 
EARLY OHIO— Very early, hardy and productive; strong, thrifty grower; 
good size bunch; berry smaller than Concord; adheres firmly to the stem; a 
profitable early market sort.
