CATAWBA- CONCORD 
The Grape for Everybody Everywhere 
A complete union of the grand old Catawba and 
the ever popular Concord. 
Fifty years ago the Catawba was universally popu¬ 
lar; it is still the standard of excellence, in quality, 
among hardy grapes; but having become enfeebled 
with the infirmities of old age, it can no longer be 
grown successfully, except in favored locations, by 
reason of its foliage being subject to downy-mildew 
and the fruit to black-rot. It also ripens quite late — 
too late for most regions. 
Concord, as is well known, is unexcelled in pro¬ 
ductiveness, in vigor and hardiness of vine and in 
freedom from disease of foliage. The good proper¬ 
ties of Catawba-Concord are : 
1. High quality — equaling in tenderness of pulp, sweet 
luscious flavor and aroma the Catawba, with added 
sweetness and juiciness. 
2. Rich sparkling wine red ; with abundant bloom. 
3. Bunch large and compact — just like the Catawba. 
4. Berry medium to large and nearly round — exactly like 
the Concord. 
3. Season early ; a little in advance of Concord. 
6. Skin thin and tough ; much like Catawba but thinner. 
7. Berry adheres firmly to bunch; hence, 
8. A superior shipper and keeper. 
9. Exempt from both black-rot and brown-rot, and all 
other diseases. 
10. Vine of extreme vigor — a stronger grower than the Con¬ 
cord — and of ironclad hardihood. 
11. A heavy annual yielder — as prolific as Concord. 
12. Foliage similar to Concord and of like freedom from 
mildew. 
13. Entirely without foxiness in odor or flavor. 
Catawba-Concord has been given ten years of the 
severest kind of test — never petted — and “has not 
been found wanting’’ in any way.
