Qrapes 
American Varieties 
Agawam. Vigorous grower, productive, 
large bunches, dark red fruit, aromatic, 
foxy flavor. Arbor culture especially. 
Ripens about September 30th. 
Concord. The old, unsurpassed “slipskin” variety, 
too well known to need a recommendation. Sum 
ceeds everywhere grapes grow. Black, sweet, rip¬ 
ens around September 15th. 
There are two distinct classes of the Grape; the 
American or hardy varieties, and the European, 
which usually require some winter protection to in¬ 
sure a crop each season. A dry and warm soil is 
considered best for the Grape and if deep and rich 
will bring it to perfection. Every home should 
have a few vines, easily grown, for arbors, 
along the fence or in rows under cultivation. 
Delicious to eat fresh, in jams, jellies, and juice. 
Caco. The new Red Grape. Of exceptional 
merit. Earlier than Concord. Wine-red, 
compact bunch, good size, hardy, thrifty 
grower. Good arbor variety.

tive, commercial variety for shipping and 
for juice. Sweet, juicy, one of the best 
early black. Around Sept. 1st.

berries large, oval, yellowish green, thick skin, firm, 
crisp flesh. Requires hot climate. September.

bunches. Largely used for wine.

larger and better flavor. Many varieties of merit,
