CARDINAL GRAPE 
It is a pleasure to announce to all fruit and grape growers the new red, 
early table grape—CARDINAL. The CARDINAL is a seedling, resulting 
from a cross of the Flame Tokay and Ribier, developed by the United 
States Department of Agriculture Field Station in Fresno, California. 

than two seeds. 
The CARDINAL vines are of medium size, similar to the Ribier, and often 
produce three to four clusters on each growing shoot. The fruit is equally 
well developed on short spurs and short canes. Although the buds start 
late, at about the same time as the Muscat, the blooms open earlier and 
are perfect, upright, and self-fertile. 
The CARDINAL GRAPE has been carefully tested in the Fresno, Cali- 
fornia area. It has also fruited on young vines in the vicinity of Phoenix, 
Arizona, and in the Imperial Valley. Its fine reception in the markets, 
early maturity, good eating qualities, attractive appearance, and good 
shipping record, recommend it as an early table and shipping grape. 
We offer a limited supply of rooted vines at the following prices: 
It has brought premium prices in the New York and other leading 
markets both in 1947-1948 and 1949, its first three years in commerce.
