to make its crop certain. It is attractive in appear¬ 
ance, keeps well on the vine and in the package and

uniform in size and shape, small to medium, roundish, 
light red covered with a bloom. Flesh juicy, tender, 
aromatic, vinous, sprightly and refreshing.

York State Experimental Station, is the best early 
black Grape ever produced. The vine is vigorous, 
hardy and productive. The clusters are large, evenly 
formed and compact, with large round berries. The 
firm thick skin makes it a good keeper and an excel¬

quality. The Fredonia stands alone as an early black 
Grape both for garden and commercial purposes.

propagated to meet the insistent demand for a hardy 
grape of the Cahfornia Muscat type in taste and 
appearance. Produces large extremely handsome

large, oval, juicy. An aristocrat variety that is sure 
to delight.

its wood even under a heavy load of fruit. Bucile is 
a most vigorous grower, hardy and an enormous 
bearer, the individual bunches being very large.

one vine. 
Moore’s Early, Black. It is difficult to describe

rather broad and compact. Berries above medium to 
medium size, roundish, green with tinge of yellow on

Grapes for market. The quality is excellent and it is 
one of the earliest to ripen. The vine is a vigorous 
grower and very productive.

garden and commercial vineyard. Salem is compara¬ 
tively early, hardy, vigorous, and productive of hand¬ 
some fruit of high quality both for table use and for 
Grape juice. Fruit ripens slightly before the Con¬ 
cord, keeps and ships well. Clusters medium to large, 
berries large to medium, roundish, very dark red, 
with blue bloom. Flesh juicy, tender and of fine

week later than Concord. Both the individual berry 
and the bunch are extra large.

medium, light and dark red covered with lilac bloom.

Concord, is equally hardy, healthy, vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. Clusters are large. Berries are large, round¬ 
ish, dark purphsh black, covered with blue bloom.
