THOMPSON’S SEEDLESS 
FOR I CENTRAL, 
EASTERN AND 
SOUTHERN STATES 
When our forefathers settled in America they planted many vine¬ 
yards of the European (later called California) Grapes which 
they had brought along from the old country. While their vine¬ 
yards grew and flourished in California those throughout the 
eastern states failed utterly. 
Originally that failure was attributed to the eastern climate 
despite the fact that in many secions it was almost identical to 
that of California. Later, however, it was definitely established 
that the European grape in eastern states was doomed by a root 
parasite (Phyloxera), present in all soils east of the Rockies, to 
which native American Grapes had become immune through 
long association. This fact once known brought the solution 
to the problem of the European Grapes in eastern vineyards. By 
grafting California stock on Phyloxera-resistant native under¬ 
stock the success of the California Grape in eastern states has 
been assured. 
We now have these California types, suitable for planting in all 
eastern states, available to our customers. The varieties we offer 
are those you have undoubtedly been buying from fruit mar¬ 
kets for your own use: 
THOMPSON’S SEEDLESS which produces large bunches of de¬ 
licious small seedless fruit. White in color, see illustration. 
MUSCATEL a black variety of extra large fruit with a very 
rich flavor. 
Price $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
Grafted on Phyloxera-resistant understock.

KRIDER’S HEAVY-BEARING 
GRAPES 
SELECTED VARIETIES 
PRICE, No. 1 vines, 15c each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 (except where otherwise noted): 
THE BEST WHITE VARIETY 
NIAGARA. Occupies the same position among the 
white varieties as Concord among the black. Bunch 
and berries large, greenish white changing to pale 
yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin but 
tough. Quality much like the Concord. 
AGAWAM. Bunch large and shouldered. Berry 
large, reddish brown, tender, vinous and of excel¬ 
lent flavor. Very vigorous and productive and one 
of the best of its class. 
BRIGHTON. Bunch large, shouldered. Berries 
medium to large, round, dark-red, tender, more 
juicy than pulpy, slightly aromatic. Ripens early. 
DELAWARE. The bunches are small and compact 
and are sometimes shouldered. Berries small with 
thin but firm skin. Flesh juicy, very sweet and re¬ 
freshing and of the best quality for both table use 
and wine-making. Ripens with Concord or a little 
earlier. Vine is hardy, productive and a moderate 
grower. 
THE BEST BLACK VARIETIES 
THE BEST RED VARIETIES 
CONCORD. One of the most popular and reliable 
varieties we possess. Bunch large, compact and 
shouldered. Berry large and round and almost black 
with blue bloom. Juicy and delicious with a very 
sweet buttery flavor. 
MOORE’S EARLY. A large Grape ripening a week 
earlier than Concord. Good grower. Berries large 
and of good quality. Makes a moderate yield and is 
very valuable as an early Grape. 
WORDEN. Seedling of the Concord which it great¬ 
ly resembles in appearance and flavor although the 
berries are larger. The fruit is held to be better 
flavored. Ripen several days earlier than Concord. 
These qualities give it the foremost rank among 
native Grapes.
