THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 
Moore’s Early. Popular for early market 
Concord. Bunch is large, compact and shouldered; 
the berries are large, sweet, juicy and of best quality. 
It keeps well and is used to some extent for market. 
The vine is moderately hardy, quite healthy and very 
productive. 
WILDER. Black. The berries are large, sweet, with 
a pleasant, sprightly flavor, and with thin and firm skin. 
The bunches are large and shouldered. Because of its 
keeping qualities and good appearance it is an excellent 
market Grape. The vine is a moderate grower, hardy 
and, if given a little attention by spraying, makes one 
of the best Grapes for commercial planting. It ripens 
with Concord. It is worthy of more extensive cultiva¬ 
tion. 
WORDEN. Black. An offspring of Concord, which it 
rivals in a great many particulars, having larger berries 
and bunches, better quality, and is a week to ten days 
earlier. While claimed by some that it does not ship 
quite so well as Concord, nevertheless it enjoys great 
popularity in the eastern states and near the large 
cities. It is quite as hardy, healthy, vigorous and 
productive. 
WYOMING RED. Red. This Grape is quite pro¬ 
ductive of medium - sized, bright red, firm Grapes in 
small bunches. The fruit is sweet and agreeable to 
most tastes. The value lies in its hardiness, health, 
productiveness and earliness. A most valuable Grape 
for the home. This variety should be pruned with 
long canes and given plenty of room. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Black. This is 
the standard Grape of its season, ripening 
two or three weeks earlier than Concord. 
The berries are larger and the bunches 
somewhat smaller than Concord, but the 
flesh characteristics are essentially the 
same, being melting sweet and with little 
pulp, though with a flavor and aroma 
peculiarly its own. The vine is hardy 
both north and south, and is planted very 
extensively for vineyards, as it is vigor¬ 
ous, healthy and productive. This Grape 
is the variety for the amateur, and the 
grower who is looking for an early mar¬ 
ket Grape. 
NIAGARA. White. The leading white 
Grape of America. The bunches are large, 
handsome, shouldered and compact. The 
berries are large, round, with thin but 
tough skin. In all it presents a very fine 
appearance. The vine is vigorous and com¬ 
paratively free from disease, though it 
responds very well, to any attention given 
to spraying. It is the standard white 
Grape, and will continue to be so for 
some time to come. We have an excellent 
stock of this variety. 
POCKLINGTON. White. The color 
of the Grape is pale green to a golden yel¬ 
low. The bunches are large and compact, 
and the berries are very large, being cov¬ 
ered with beautiful white bloom. The 
quality is good and it ripens soon after 
Concord. The vine is a moderate grower 
and is very healthy and hardy. 
VERGENNES. Red. This variety 
seldom fails to bear a crop and has a 
slight tendency to overbear. With a 
moderate crop it ripens with or before 
Niagara. Has a flavor peculiarly its own
