Red Spanish. Vine very vigorous, the canes are large 
and of semi-erect growth. The bunches are large, 
conical, elongated and loose, the berries of which adhere 
strongly to cap stems. The berries are large, ellipsoidal, 
purplish-black, neutral in flavor and crisp. A thick 
skin covers a solid pulp. Ripens September to October. 
Ribier. In Ribier you have a grape of Jumbo size, 
jet black color and choicest quality, maturing with 
Thompson Seedless and Malaga, but with a season also 
that can be prolonged to October first. 
Its exceedingly large size, intensely black color, firm 
texture and good keeping quality and excellent dis¬ 
tinctive flavor, make it a table grape of super-quality 
that can be moved during the season of Thompson Seed¬ 
less, Malaga, Tokay and even into the season of Emperor. 
Berries are very large, attaining Jumbo size, and are 
perhaps the largest of all varieties. The average weight 
of a berry in some bunches is over one-third of an ounce. 
Color—intensely black and covered with an abundant 
yravish bloom. 
Extremely heavy and regular bearer; produces a sec¬ 
ond crop of good quality and for juice purposes is self¬ 
coloring. 
Years of observation of this variety have demonstrated 
that it is regularly productive. 
Moving in advance of the heavy Malaga and Tokay 
movement, this grape will develop a demand of its own 
on the market, and later during that portion of its 
season, moving competitively with Tokay, will on ac¬ 
count of its superior quality realize a higher value per 
ton net than that standard shipping variety. 
Rish Baba. It is a very attractive grape and finds 
buyers at good prices. Rather delicate to handle. 
Bunches are large, well filled and loose. Berries are 
large, elongated, more or less enlarged near the upper 
half, yellowish white when ripe, delicate, of fairly firm 
texture, thin skinned. Flavor is neutral but agreeable. 
Ripens in early midsummer. Vine is extremely vigorous 
and productive. 
Thompson Seedless. While its principal use is for 
raisins, a considerable tonnage is used for early Eastern 
shipment. The vine is vigorous, producing canes often 
3 0 feet in length. Bunches are very large, conical and 
usually well filled. Berries are oval, yellow, small to 
medium in size, entirely seedless. Ripens as early as July. 
Tokay. Vine is very vigorous of erect growth with 
a large, strong trunk. Bunches are large to very large, 
compact. Berries are large to very large, pale red color, 
covered with lilac bloom. Pulp is firm, crackling and 
of pleasing flavor.
