GRAPES 
Let Pontiac’s Juicy Grapes tempt every home gardener because they require surprisingly little 
cultivation and the abundant returns are ever welcome. A proper selection will result in grapes 
on the family table several months of the year. They can be trained over fences, trellises or 
doorways and thus be ornamental as well as edible. Grown for market, they can be planted on 
hillsides that are not suited for other crops. In all cases, however, they should have a free ex¬ 
posure of sun and air. 
AGAWAM. Dark red. Bunch large, compact, shouldered. Berry large. Flesh tender, juicy 
vinous and good quality. Later than Concord. 
BRIGHTON (Red). Bunch medium to large; quite compact; flesh rich, sweet and best quality; 
color dark crimson of brownish red; vine vigorous and hardy. 
CACO. A new variety originating in Delaware and widely heralded as the very best red Grape 
known. Its name is a combination of Catawba and Concord, from the two standard sorts 
it was derived. The vines are strong and vigorous, as yet untouched by disease of any kind. 
The fruit is very large and handsome, complete bunches; in color a rich wine-red over amber 
Exceptionally early bearing, usually showing several good sized bunches the second year. 
Its flavor is luscious, sweet, delightful, distinctive. 
CAMPBELL'S EARLY (Black). A very strong, vigorous, hardy vine, with thick, healthy, 
mildew-resisting foliage and self-fertilizing blossoms, always sets its fruit well, and bears 
abundantly. 
CATAWBA. One of the longest keeping grapes. The bunch and berries are good size and red in 
color. 
CONCORD (Black). Too well known to need description; is considered by many to be the 
best all around Grape grown. Is extremely hardy, vigorous and productive; bunches large, 
compact. 
DELAWARE (Red). One of the best red Grapes; bunch small and compact; berry small, 
round, beautiful light red; flesh rich, sweet and delicious; best quality. A good market Grape. 
FREDONIA. A new introduction that gives promise of being the earliest good black Grape. 
It ripens its fruit two weeks earlier than Worden. The vine is vigorous, hardy and productive. 
The bunches of fruit are medium in size, cylindrical and compact, the berries are large, round 
and persistent, the skin is thick and strong, the flesh is juicy, solid but tender, and the quality 
very good. Fredonia stands alone as an early black Grape. 
MOORE'S EARLY (Black). Bunch large, berry round with a heavy blue bloom; quality con¬ 
sidered better than Concord; hardy and prolific; a good market berry; ripens about two weeks 
before Concord. 
NIAGARA. The vine is a strong grower, healthy and prolific; bunches large, uniform and com¬ 
pact; berry large, skin greenish white, slightly ambered in the sun; quality good. Ripens with 
Concord. Skin tough, making it a good shipper and market Grape. 
PORTLAND (White). Ripens earlier than any known Grape. Berries are very large and have 
a beautiful yellowish color. Quality is excellent. Vines are extremely hardy and productive. 
WORDEN (Black). Said to be a seedling of Concord, and is a slight improvement on that 
variety; ripens a few days earlier; bunch large and compact.
