Section oj Vine of Catawba-Concord Grape. 
ENDORSEMENTS OF THE CATAWBA-CONCORD. 
By the Pastor of M. E. Church, Little Silver, N. J 
“At the Monmouth County Agricultural Fair, your new 
grape, Catawba-Concord, by their compact bunches, large 
size and most beautiful color, at once attracted my atten¬ 
tion; and I said to a friend, ‘They are beautiful.’ Now 
having tested their eating qualities, I am frank to ac¬ 
knowledge, that for juiciness, sweetness and flavor, it is 
the most delicious grape I have ever eaten.” 
Joseph Garrison. 
By the Attorney General of New Jersey. 
“For the past three years I have watched the grape 
you have named Catawba-Concord growing in your vine¬ 
yard near Tinton Falls. As your farm joins lands of my 
own, I have seen your vineyard a great many times and 
have noted the vigor of the vines. I know of no variety 
that has finer or more healthy foliage or one that is 
more prolific. The fruit is certainly of very superior 
quality—surpassing all hardy grapes of which I have any 
knowledge. I know of no grape which is as attractive 
to me as this new variety of yours.” 
Edmund Wilson. 
By the President of the Red Bank Apple Club. 
“The Catawba-Concord grape has an exceptionally 
hardy vine; fully equal in strength and rapidity of growth 
to the ''Concord. The grape is of a better color than the 
Catawba, it being a wine red, and absolutely free from 
blemish or spots and is one of the most beautiful grapes 
when packed for market. 
“Its greatest merit, however, is in its quality. The 
Catawba-Concord has all the excellence of the Catawba 
Awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
while it is as prolific as the Concord. The grape so far 
has not been affected either by insects or by fungus pests, 
and it is believed to be immune. It has been in bearing 
on the I/Ovett farms for many years and has not appar¬ 
ently been attacked by any insect or fungus enemy. The 
vineyard in full bearing is a wondrous sight and the vine 
bears equal to the Concord when the latter is at its best. 
No spraying is needed, at least so far in its history, the 
vine being able to resist all attacks.” 
John H. Cook. 
By the Hon. John Lewis Childs. 
“I believe it is, in all-around good qualities, the best 
grape I have ever eaten.” John Eewis Childs. 
By the President of Glenwood Nursery. 
“Yesterday received sample of the Catawba-Concord. 
They came in excellent condition and it has never been 
our pleasure to eat a better grape; one that possesses so 
many good points. It is very sweet, very tender and we 
find that the seeds separate readily from the pulp.” 
E. S. Mayo. 
By an amateur expert. 
“The grape vines have made a very strong growth and 
as to the quality of the fruit, it is delicious. My favorite 
of all grapes has been the Brighton, but this new variety 
excels the Brighton.” C. Ackerson. 
[Mr. Ackerson grows grapes as a pastime and has 
fruited almost every variety of hardy grapes in cultiva¬ 
tion. Two years ago the Catawba-Concord was put in his 
hands for testing. The above report is from the fruit 
grown upon his grounds.]
