Every home should have a dozen or more grape vines planted on an arbor or along the garden fence. They 
are delicious to eat fresh from the vines; can be made into the most health-producing grape juice and jelly— 
well, who doesn't like grape jelly? Once planted the grape vines will continue to yield for years with 
practically no special attention. Our grapes are strong, well rooted plants that are sure to grow for you. 
FREDONIA 
FOUR NEW GRAPES 
OF MERIT 
These New Varieties (with the exception of Caco) 
are recent introductions of the N. Y. Experiment Sta¬ 
tion and all surpass the older standard kinds in both 
fruit and vine characteristics. 
£A£/\ (New Red Grape.) A variety of excep- 
**r+^**J tional merit and should be in every col¬ 
lection planted, is the most beautiful of the hardy 
grapes, the bunches are large, well shouldered, color 
wine red with abundant bloom. Bunches are compact 
and of good size and form. Earlier than Concord and 
is sweet and palatable several weeks before it is fully 
ripe. The vine makes a very strong growth, hence is 
valuable for covering trellis or screens. Caco is be¬ 
yond doubt one of the best of our native grapes. 
PORTLAND (White.) The earliest of all 
1 v ■ * B ^ grapes. Large bunch and berry; 
flesh sweet, juicy, and of fine flavor. A valuable 
early grape for home gardens, and bids fair to hold 
first place as an early market variety. The vine of Portland is 
particularly satisfactory as it is vigorous, productive, hardy and healthy. 
Black, larger bunch and berry; compact, skin 
Sncilll/Hll not as tender as Concord and therefore a better 
shipper. Good quality. Dr. U. P. Hedrlch, of New York Station, says: 
“Sheridan is probably the 
most valuable New Grape 
and is sent out with the 
expectation that it will 
supplement the Concord 
which it surpasses in 
vine and fruit char¬ 
acteristics in many 
regions." 
CONCORD _ 
(Blue) Promises to be the 
earliest good Black 
Grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and productive 
and ripens its fruit about two weeks earlier than 
Worden. Clusters are medium size and compact; the 
berries large and hang persistently; flesh is firm 
although quite tender and quality very 
good. One of the best American Red 
Juice varieties.
