GRAPES, AMERICAN VARIETIES 
Prices 10 cts. each, SI per dozen, except where other¬ 
wise noted 
The family of Grapes grown throughout the Eastern and 
Middle-West States. They are particularly adapted for 
covering arbors, being good climbers and strong growers. 
These varieties may be planted in sections where the extreme 
cold of winter would make it unsafe to use the Foreign Grapes. 
We have eliminated the following varieties from this 
year’s list: Catawba, Isabella and Martha, and have added 
the Pierce (Isabella Regia), known locally as the California 
Concord and Moore’s Diamond. We find the Catawaba and 
Martha do not thrive well here. Isabella is replaced by the 
Isabella Regia, a much superior grape. Moore’s Diamond is 
the leading early White Grape. 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY. Blackish purple, large, early and 
productive. A fine new grape. Flesh firm and tender, 
almost seedless. A good grower with healthy foliage. Fruit 
hangs on vines sound and perfect for more than ten weeks 
after ripening and does not crack. As a good keeper and 
shipper it is believed to be uncqualed by any other Grape. 
More Campbell’s Early are being planted in the East than 
any other variety. 20c each, $2.00 per dozen. 
CONCORD. One of the most popular and well known of 
the native Grapes. Early, color black, large, both of clusters 
and grapes. Flesh juicy, buttery and very sweet. Excep¬ 
tionally well adapted to arbors. A vigorous grower, healthy 
and productive. 
DELAWARE. A small red grape of fine quality. Bunches 
are small and compact, sweet and sugary. An abundant 
bearer. 
MOORE’S DIAMOND. A very desirable new white Grape- 
Bunches large, berry white with yellow tinge, when fully 
ripe. Flesh juicy, almost free from pulp, very few seeds. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Resembles Concord in quality, but 
more pulp: ripens several days earlier. 
NIAGARA. One of the best white Grapes in cultivation. 
A leading market variety and much used for arbors. Berry 
Berries and leaves are of very large size, and when ripe th 
fruit is exceptionally sweet. For size and quality it is one 
PIERCE (ISABELLA REGIA). A sport of the Isabella. 
Berries and leaves are of very large size, and when ripe the

ways scarce. Grown as the California Concord in the 
Los Angeles region. 15c each, $1.50 per dozen. 
WORDEN. Black and of large size. Said to be a seedling 
of the Concord, which it greatly resembles. Ripens a few 
days earlier than the Concord, and is of superior flavor.
