Four New Grapes of 
Merit 
These new varieties (with the exception of Caco) 
are recent introductions of the N. Y. Experiment Sta- 
tion and all surpass the oldér standard kinds in both 
fruit and vine characteristics. 
C (New Red Grape.) A variety of exceptional 
aco merit and should be in every collection 
planted, is the most beautiful of the hardy grapes, the 
bunches are large, well shouldered, color wine red 
with abundant bloom. Bunches are compact and of 
good size and form. Earlier than Concord and is sweet 
and palatable several weeks before it is fully ripe. 
Caco is beyond doubt one of the best of our native 
red grapes. oa 
(White.) The earliest of all grapes, 
Portland Large bunch and berry; flesh sweet, 
juicy, and of fine flavor. A valuable early grape for 
home gardens, and bids fair to hold first place as an 
early market variety. The vine of Portland is par- 
ticularly satisfactory as it is vigorous, productive, 
hardy and healthy. 
© Black, larger bunch and berry and 
Sheridan the best variety to follow .Concord. 
Good quality. Dr. U. P. Hedrich, of New York Sta- 
tion, says: “Sheridan is probably the most valuable 
New Grape and is sent out with the expectation that 
it will supplement the Concord which it surpasses in 
vine and fruit characteristics in many regions.” 
G The finest early grape. Fredonia 
Fr edonia tipens with the earliest. Bunch and 
berries large. Skin-firm. Flavor of the best. It fills 
a long-felt need for an early TABLE GRAPE of high 
quality that would make a real appetizing appearance 
in our fruit markets. It does not crack. Commercial 
growers will find this grape a money-maker. One of 
America’s best red juice varieties.
