DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 
59 
called a white grape, but the fruit is a light golden yellow, clear, juicy and 
sweet to the center; good; bunches very large, sometimes shouldered; ber- 
ries round and very large and thickly set. Ripens after Concord. 
SALEM (Rogers’ No. 22) — Bunch and berry large; rather darker than 
Catawba, flesh sweet, juicy, with an aromatic flavor. Ripens soon after the 
Delaware. 
WILDER (Rogers’ No. 4) — One of the best of Rogers’ seedlings; bunch 
and berry large; black, with a slight bloom; flesh tender, juicy, sweet and 
rich. Ripens with Concord; vigorous and productive. 
WYOMING — An extra early red grape, resembling the Delaware in appear- 
ance, but double its size and 10 days earlier; bunch compact and handsome; 
berry medium, bright red; skill thin and firm; flesh sweet; a valuable market 
grape. , 
WORDEN — Black; bunch large, sometimes shouldered, compact; berries 
very large; skin thin. Superior to Concord in the following points: It is 
better in quality, has a larger berry, a more compact and handsome cluster, 
and ripens 5 to 10 days earlier. It fully equals Concord in vigor, health and 
productiveness. In berry it is about the size of Moore’s Early, but of better 
quality, more vigorous and productive, and ripens but little later. We cannot 
too strongly recommend it; not so good a shipper as Concord.
