GREENING'S SMALL FRUITS 
RED GRAPES 
BRIGHTON— A cross between Concord and 
Diana Hamburg. Resembles Catawba in color, 
size and form of bunch and berry. Flesh rich, 
sweet and of the best quality. Ripens earlier 
than the Delaware. Vine vigorous and hardy. 
This variety has now been thoroughly tested 
and it may be truly said to be without an equal 
among early grapes. Succeeds best when 
planted near other varieties of grapes. 
CACO —This is a hybrid produced from cross 
pollinization of Catawba and Concord. It in¬ 
herits the characteristics of both parents, minus 
any of their defects. Very hardy yet it equals in 
high quality and melting texture, the finest 
variety grown under glass. Very large, wine-red 
with abundant bloom. Bunch good size, com¬ 
pact and of good form. Ripens in advance of 
Concord. Vine strong, vigorous, healthy and 
prolific. 
DELAWARE— Still holds its own as one of the 
finest Grapes. Bunches small, compact, shoul¬ 
dered,- berries rather small, round,- skin thin, 
light red,- flesh very juicy without any hard 
pulp. Has an exceedingly sweet, spicy and 
delicious flavor. Vine moderately vigorous. 
Hardy and productive. Ripens right after 
Brighton.

Grapes 
No fruit possesses such a remark¬ 
able heritage of popularity as the 
grape. It is mentioned in nearly all 
ancient writings, including the Bible. 
Grapes are to be found in every 
temperate climate. The earliest set¬ 
tlers of the United States discovered 
several different varieties growing 
from Maine to Florida. Grapes have 
been constantly improved during 
the years, and are not only a favor¬ 
ite with the commercial grower but 
possess many advantages for the 
home garden, as they require but a 
small amount of space and can be 
trained over a back fence or trellis. 
BLACK GRAPES 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY- Suitable 
for a trellis as it is a hardy and vig¬ 
orous grower, with heavy foliage 
and is very healthy. Ripens early 
and bears abundantly. The quality 
of fruit is excellent. Matures at 
intervals between the middle and 
last of August. A good shipper. 
Fruit large, of black color, covered 
with beautiful blue bloom. Sweet 
and juicy. Seeds small and few in 
' number. 
CONCORD —The best known and 
most popular of all Grapes. The 
best for table, wine and market. 
Succeeds over a great extent of 
country. Ripens in September. 
FREDONIA- This variety gives 
promise of being the earliest good 
black grape. The vine is vigorous, 
hardy, and productive, and ripens 
its fruit two weeks earlier than 
Worden. The clusters are medium 
in size, cylindrical and compact,- 
the berries are large, round, and 
persistent; the skin is thick and 
tough; the flesh is juicy, solid but 
tender; and the quality very good. 
Fredonia stands alone as an early 
black grape. 
MOORE’S EARLY —Bunch medium,- berry round 
and as large as the Wilder or Rodgers No. 4. 
Quality very fine and vine exceedingly hardy. 
It has been entirely exempt from mildew or dis¬ 
ease,- in vigor of growth it is medium. Its earli¬ 
ness makes it desirable for a first crop, maturing 
as it does, ten days before the Hartford and 
twenty days before the Concord. 
WORDEN —A seedling from the Concord, 
which it greatly resembles in color and appear¬ 
ance. It is, however, several days earlier, much 
more delicious and melting and has a flavor that 
is equaled by no other grape grown. Berries 
and clusters are very large and compact; fully 
as hardy as the Concord and more productive. 
A sure bearer and a variable market sort. 
WHITE GRAPES 
GREEN MOUNTAIN —Color greenish white, 
skin very thin, pulp exceedingly tender and 
sweet; contains but one or two seeds which 
separate from the pulp with light pressure,- 
quality superb. Ripens with Moore. 
NIAGARA —This white Grape is justly regarded 
as one of the very best known,- very fine quality 
for a table grape,- very prolific, hardy, and of 
fine flavor. Fruits keepwell if carefully handled. 
PORTLAND —This variety holds first place 
among grapes as an early green variety for the 
market. The vine is very vigorous, hardy, pro¬ 
ductive and healthy. The variety is remarkable 
for its luxuriant and persistent foliage. Bunches 
and berries are larger than those of any other 
early green grape.

DIPLOMA (Red) — A large, red currant, de¬ 
licious for eating fresh, and excellent for j elly.

ductiveness. Quality very good. 
PERFECTION (Red) —A cross between Fays and 
the White Grape, retaining the valuable char¬ 
acteristics of both. Beautiful, bright red; as 
large or larger than Fays, holding its size to the 
end of the bunch,- easy to pick,- a superior 
bearer, less acid and of better quality than any 
other large Currant in cultivation. 
WHITE GRAPE —Very large,- yellowish white, 
sweet or very mild acid; excellent quality and 
valuable for the table. The finest of the white 
sorts. Very productive.

productive. Fruit medium, roundish, smooth, of 
a pale red color, tender, sweet and of a de 
licious flavor,- very profitable for canning and 
catsup.

Downing,- smooth, very prolific and hardy, 
quality and foliage the best. For years it has 
been tested by the side of the best American 
and English sorts, and is the only one absolutely 
free from mildew, either in leaf or fruit. 
Promises to be the variety we have so long 
been waiting for, equal to the best English 
kinds and capable of producing large crops 
under ordinary cultivation wherever Goose¬ 
berries can be grown.
