MOORE'S EARLY 
EATON CBlack). — Similar in foliage to Con¬ 
cord. In growth, health, hardiness of vine and in 
every other respect its equal, while in size of bunch 
and berry it is much larger and more attractive.

to the stem ; skin thin, but tough ; pulp tender, sepa¬ 
rating freely from the seeds and dissolving easily in 
the mouth ; very juicy.

shouldered, compact; berries very large; skin thin.

mend it strongly.
