Black. This is the stan¬ 
dard 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 vine¬ 
yards, as it is vigorous, healthy and productive. 
This Grape is the variety for the amateur, and the 
grower who is looking for an early market Grape.

Inclosed find my check for $4. Please excuse delay in send¬ 
ing in order. I did not intend to set out any new varieties this 
spring until I saw some of your plants sent to a friend of 
mine.—Jos. G. Spear, Norfolk Co., Mass., April 12, 1915.

White. This Grape is surpassed 
in quality and beauty by few 
others. The bunches are large, compact and 
shouldered. 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 
qualities make it unsurpassed among the 
green type of Grapes. It deserves all the 
praise it has been given, and more. 
Red. This Grape is the stan¬ 
dard by which the quality of 
American Grapes is gaged. The berries are 
small, juicy, sweet and with thin but firm 
skin. It is able to withstand climatic con¬ 
ditions 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; attractiveness in appearance, keeping 
quality on the vine and in the package, ship¬ 
ping excellence and comparative immunity to 
black rot make it also a very desirable market 
Grape. 
pi • White. Bunch medium and very 
Clvlia. 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 perfectly 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. 
Fmnirp Qfofp White. Bunches medium, lpng, 
tmpire oiaie. 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. It is earlier than Niagara. The fruit keeps 
well on the vine after ripening and retains its flavor 
well for a long time after being picked. 
Catawba (see page 40). Adapted to almost any soil or climate 
Green Mountain. 
White. Bunch medium¬ 
shouldered; berries green¬ 
ish white; thin skin; sweet pulp and. of excellent 
quality. Vine vigorous, hardy and very productive. 
I indlpv R e d- Bunch large, medium long; 
Linaiey. berries are uniform in size, firm, fine¬ 
grained, juicy, tender and with a peculiar, though 
pleasant, aromatic flavor. Lindley is an excellent 
garden Grape and while not recommended for general 
commercial planting, it is excellent as a fancy prod¬ 
uct, because of its quality and attractiveness; dark 
red. If it is given proper care, it will not disappoint 
you. 
White. This is a seedling of Concord 
and greatly resembles its parents, 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.
