TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS 
DIAMOND. White. This Grape is sur¬ 
passed in quality and beauty by few others. 
The bunches are large, compact and should¬ 
ered. The berries are large, round, juicy and 
tender, and make very desirable wine. They 
have thin but tough skin, which is a very 
desirable market quality. Together with its 
desirable fruit characteristics, it is early, 
hardy, productive and vigorous, which quali¬ 
ties make it unsurpassed among the green type 
of Grapes. It deserves all the praise it has 
been given, and more. 
DELAWARE. Red. This Grape is the 
standard by which the quality of American 
Grapes is gauged. The berries are small, 
juicy, sweet and with thin but firm skin. It 
is able to withstand climatic conditions under 
which other hardy varieties fail and to adapt 
itself to many soils not suited to most other 
Grapes. As a wine Grape it is among the best, 
its early maturity insuring a crop; attractive¬ 
ness in appearance, keeping quality on the 
vine and in the package, shipping excellence and 
comparative immunity to black rot make it also a 
very desirable market berry. 
ELVIRA. White. Bunch medium and very 
compact. Berries are excellent for wine, for which 
purpose they are mostly used. The vine is a strong 
stalky grower-, with ample foliage, and is almost per¬ 
fectly hardy as far north as Canada. It is quite 
resistant to black rot and enjoys almost entire 
immunity to phylloxera. It ripens late, about with 
Catawba, and is very productive. 
EMPIRE STATE. White. Bunches medium, 
long, compact; the berries are medium in size; the 
quality is nearly as good as Diamond. It is the equal 
of this in vigor and in resistance to disease and 
insects. It has short-jointed canes, is productive, and 
earlier than Niagara. The fruit keeps well on the 
One-year Concord Grape-vines 
vine and after picking and retains its flavor well for 
quite a period of time after being picked. 
LINDLEY. Red. Bunch large, medium long; 
berries are uniform in size, firm, fine-grained, juicy, 
tender and with a peculiar, though pleasant, aro¬ 
matic flavor. Lindley is an excellent garden Grape 
and while not recommended for general commercial 
planting, it is excellent as a fancy product, because of 
its quality and attractiveness; dark red. If it is 
given proper care, it will not disappoint you. 
MARTHA. White. This is a seedling of Concord 
and greatly resembles its parent, but differs in the 
following particulars: Fruit white to green, a week or 
more earlier, bunch and berries not large, but far 
better in quality, being sweeter, more delicate, and 
with less foxiness and less pulp. Hardy and healthy 
in the South.
