NEW SEEDLESS CONCORD 
After years of experimentation and cross 
breeding, a perfectly hardy Seedless Grape 
has been developed—the first of a new 
strain of Grapes which should eventually 
replace the seeded varieties. Of the Con- 
cord type, but slightly smaller. Blue-black 
in color possessing the same flavor found 
in the Concord Grape. 
LUTIE GRAPE 

Biack or Purple Varieties 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY—Great big, fine, col- 
ored, juicy; black grapes, full of the 
richest sweetness. The seeds are very 
small and part readily from the flesh. A 
heavy annual bearer and should be in- 
cluded in every collection. 
MOORE'S EARLY—July 5 to 15. Black. 
Bunch medium size; berry large, covered 
with blue bloom; quality good. Among 
the best of the early grapes. 
FREDONIA—The new, very early black 
grape. Earlier than Eclipse, larger and 
better quality. Earlier than Campbell's 
or Moore's Early; originated at the New 
York Experiment Station; has been 
thoroughly tested in their vineyards 
where over 75 varieties are fruiting and 
has proven superior in every way to 
any other early black grape. It is fruit- 
ing at the Arkansas Experiment Station 
along with many other varieties, where 
it appears to be the best of all early 
grapes. Flavor excellent, juicy, retaining 
its fine quality long after it has become 
fully ripe. Very large, compact clusters, 
covered with a productive and the ear- 
liest black grape grown. 
CHAPENELL — Bunch large, shouldered; 
berries medium to large, round dark red, 
tender, very little pulp, sweet, juicy, 
slightly aromatic and very good. Ripens 
early. 
White Varieties 
NIAGARA — Occupies the same position 
among the white varieties as Concord 
among the black. Bunch and berries 
large, greenish white, changing to pale 
yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin but 
tough; quality much like the Concord. 
Red Varieties 
DELAWARE—The bunches are small, com- 
pact, and sometimes shouldered; berries 
are small with thin but firm skin; flesh 
juicy, very sweet and refreshing and of 
the best quality for both table use and 
for wine. Ripens with Concord or a 
little before; vine is hardy, productive 
and a moderate grower. 
CARMEN—Vines very thrifty, in fact, just 
as hardy as vines can be. The grapes 
are large and thick on the cluster. A 
cluster of these is solid nearly as a ball. 
Bears from one to two bushels per vine 
and the best eating grape we have 
ever seen. If you have been planting 
grapes that would not sell, plant some 
Carmen. They outsell anything else on 
the market. The Carmen grape begins 
to get ripe about August 10th and will 
hang on the vines after getting ripe, for 
several days. 
LUTIE—Very sweet, atiractive, red grape. 
Large, compact bunches. Thin skin, 
tender flesh. So sweet that it preserves 
itself on the vine, the juice condensing 
to syrup. Midseason. 
SOUTHERN MUSCADINES 
The famous grape of the South may now 
be had in an assortment of varieties ripen- 
ing at different times. We offer the follow- 
ing popular varieties in 2-year vines: 
JAMES—Vines vigorous, foliage healthy 
and medium to heavy; prolific, regular 
bearer, large bunches of good-sized black 
berries which hang on well; skin medium 
to thin. Excellent flavor; ripens Septem- 
ber. Fine for all purposes. We class this 
best of black varieties. 
SCUPPERNONG—Very large, bronze flesh, 
pulpy, sweet, musky flavor. One of the 
oldest and best of the Muscadine family. 
September. 
THOMAS—An old favorite. Reddish purple, 
sweet and tender; vigorous and prolific. 
Continues to be one of the best.
