Black Cornichon Black Cornichon is one of the many fine table grapes 
produced in California. It is not as extensively planted 
as the Tokay, Emperor or Malaga, however, in some sections it is a favorite 
and is a very profitable variety. 
The vine is a strong grower and in sections, to which it is adapted, is a 
good producer. The berries are of a very dark purple color when ripe, of a 
long olive shape, covered with a fine bloom. The flesh is firm and of good 
flavor, consequently, is a ready seller when placed on the market. 
The Black Cornichon is particularly adapted for planting in the Sacramento 
valley. Ripens in October. 
Black Ferrera an °ther highly recommended variety, valuable for table 
use as well as for its fine shipping qualities. 
The vine is a strong grower and a good bearer, producing berries of large 
size, oval in shape, black in color and overspread with a violet bloom. The 
flesh is firm and possesses a very delicious flavor. Ripens late in September. 
Flame Tokay Black Morocco 
Black Hamburg While not so extensively grown as some others it is a 
B great favorite in the markets and is also a very profit¬ 
able variety; the vine being a strong grower and a good bearer. 
The bunches are very large and heavily shouldered, .berries are large, sweet 
and juicy, and a coal black color when fully ripe. 
This is certainly a very attractive grape and should be planted more ex¬ 
tensively. Grows well in all sections of California. Ripens late in September. 
Emperor This is without doubt the best late shipping grape grown in the 
^ San Joaquin valley. Throughout other sections of California, 
however, it is not much favored as its bearing qualities are not of the best, 
but throughout the San Joaquin and chiefly in the foothill sections, where it 
is practically free from early frosts and colors up well, it has no equal for 
late shipping. 
We know of many Empferor vineyards which have produced from $500.00 
to $1000.00 per acre. For table and other decorating purposes, as well as for 
eating, it is considered superior to any other variety of its ripening period. 
The vine is a strong grower and a heavy producer, bunches are large and
