Grapes 
No grounds are so small but that the owner 
can grow at least a few grapes. Grapes 
should be planted in a dry, warm soil, where 
they will have a free circulation of air, an 
eastern or southern exposure is preferable. 
Where the formation of the land will permit, 
it is well to plant rows so that they will be 
parallel with the direction of prevailing 
winds. Grapes may be trained to buildings 
or any cheap and simple arbor or even on 
single poles or stakes. 
Niagara 
Niagara—One of the best known white 
grapes. A splendid table grape. Mid-season. 
Worden —-A seedling of Concord, ripens a 
few days earlier, has a larger berry, and a 
larger and more compact bunch; hardy and 
healthy; black, of fine quality and very de¬ 
sirable. 
Wyoming Red-^A decidedly fine, early red 
grape. Bunch and berry double size of Dela¬ 
ware, of same color, with similar flavor. 
Ripens a week or ten days before Concord. 
Brighton —In color, form of bunch and 
berry, resembles Catawba, combining the 
sprightliness of that variety with the rich¬ 
ness and sweetness of Delaware; vine vigor¬ 
ous, hardy, productive. 
Campbell’s Early —Seedling of Moore’s 
Early. A vigorous, hardy grower, with 
healthy and abundant foliage which resists 
mildew. Bears profusely, large clusters of 
fruit, usually shouldered and compact. Ber¬ 
ries nearly round, black, with blue bloom; 
skin thin but tenacious, flesh rather firm, ten¬ 
der, rich, sweet, slightly vinous, with no foxi¬ 
ness or acidity. Ripens early, and hangs on 
the vine six weeks after ripening. We believe 
it has come to stay. 
Concord —Black, bunch large, shouldered, 
compact; berries large, tender-skinned, juicy, 
sweet; vine strong growing, hardy, produc¬ 
tive. The standard market grape of America. 
Delaware —Small, light-red, thin-skinned; 
very juicy, sweet and sprightly. Slow grow¬ 
ing and tender; requires a rich soil and a 
favorable situation on the south side of a 
building to succeed well; of the highest qual¬ 
ity w T hen properly grown. 
Eaton —Bunch and berries very large, cov¬ 
ered with a heavy blue bloom; pulp tender, 
separating freely from the seeds, very juicy; 
vine healthy, hardy and productive. 
Moore’s Early —One of the best very early 
grapes. A seedling of Concord, which it 
equals in vigor and hardiness of vine, but 
ripens ten days or two weeks earlier than 
that variety. Bunch large; berry round and 
large, black, with a heavy blue bloom; quality 
good. 
Green Mountain —New. Found growing in 
a garden on the side of the Green Mountains 
in Vermont, at an altitude of 1,400 feet, 
where it ripened its fruit perfectly. Vine 
strong, vigorous, healthy, very hardy and 
productive. Bunch long, compact, shouldered. 
Color green or grenish white; skin thin, pulp 
exceedingly tender and sweet. Very early, 
being three w T eeks earlier than Concord. 
Moore’s Diamond —Vine vigorous, with 
large, dark, healthy foliage, prolific, produc¬ 
ing large, handsome, compact, slightly should¬ 
ered bunches, of delicate greenish white, with 
rich yellow tinge. Its desirable characteris¬ 
tics are earliness, hardiness, healthfulness and 
good quality.
