GRAPES 
The grape is probably one of the first fruits, if not the 
very first, used and brought into cultivation and yet we are 
continually adding finer varieties to the long list of suc¬ 
cessful kinds. There is scarcely a farm between the Gulf 
of Mexico and Canada on which some varieties of grapes 
cannot be grown successful. Grapes are wonderfully 
successful when planted for commercial purposes and 
there is no fruit more satisfactory for home use. By 
chemical analysis good ripe grapes have been found to 
supply a greater percentage of sugar and muscle-building 
material per pound than any other fruit. Home-made 
grape juice, jelly, and preserves can be made from just a 
few vines in the back yard, if you have not space to grow 
grapes in quantities for the market. Profits of $200.00 to 
$500.00 per acre frequently result from grape vineyards. 
BRILLIANT.—A very strong grower; endures all cli¬ 
mates well. Clusters large, often shouldered, open to com¬ 
pact. Berries large, light to dark red, translucent with 
a thin bloom, and very handsome; skin thin, rather ten¬ 
der, but seldom cracks; pulp meaty, yet tender, melting 
and delicious, having taste of Delaware. Ripe in mid¬ 
season. 
CAMPBELL EARLY.—Clusters very large with large 
shoulders; berry black; of somewhat less pulp and better 
quality than Concord; a very showy, saleable grape of 
the Concord type. Ripe with Moore Early. 
CARMAN.—One of the most profitable and popular 
varieties; splendid as a table grape as well as for grape 
juice, preserves and jelly. Cluster, very large, sometimes 
weighing two pounds; shouldered; very compact. Berries 
medium size, black with thin bloom, skin tough and thin; 
never cracks; pulp meaty; firm but tender when fully ripe; 
of splendid quality—far superior to Concord. Ripe in 
July. 
IVES.—Bunch and berry medium in size; dark purple 
color; very acid until fully ripe; a good ordinary variety. 
Midseason. 
DELAWARE.—Small, clear red, and of the very finest 
flavor; a standard of excellence for table grapes and for 
marketing. Last of July. 
MOORE EARLY.—Very large, early, black, of the fine 
quality; a fine market grape; very healthy and prolific. 
R. W. MUNSON.—Special. Medium to large bunch; 
berry black; does not crack; pulp tender and quality good; 
ripens before Concord. Should be planted near Concord 
or Brilliant for pollenization. 
CONCORD.—The best known of all varieties of grapes; 
large, black; suited for table or market. Ripe in July. 
NIAGARA.—Large, greenish white; semi-transparent; 
quality good; a seedling of Concord; successful over a 
wide range of territory. Midseason.

resistent to powdery mildew; canes long, numerous, thick, 
straight; buds open with Concord, thick; flowers fertile, 
with long upright stamens, leaves large, round, black,
