Each  10  100 

One  year,  first  class 10c  $ .80  $ 7.00 

Campbell’s  Early: — The  berries  are  large,  often  an  inch  or  more  in  diameter, 
glossy  black  with  a purple  bloom,  sweet  and  juicy,  with  few  seeds.  They 
ripen  from  the  15th  to  the  last  of  August.  As  a keeper  and  shipper  this 
variety  is  unequalled  by  any  other  American  grape,  while  as  a desert  grape 
it  is  delicious. 

Concord — The  well  known  standard  variety,  succeeds  wherever  grapes  will 
grow. 

]/  Brighton — Bunch  large,  well  formed ; berries  above  medium  to  large,  round ; 
excellent  flavor  and  quality;  one  of  the  earliest  in  ripening. 

V Delaware — Bunches  small,  compact,  shouldered ; berries  rather  small,  round, 
skin  thin,  light  red;  flesh  very  juicy,  sweet,  spicy  and  delicious.

““  sweet  and  aromatic ; ripens  early.

dium size,  adheres  firmly  to  stem. 
Fine  variety  for  both  market  and 
home  garden. 

Moore’s  Early — Bunch  large,  berry 
large  round,  with  heavy  bloom,  vine 
exceedingly  hardy.  Its  earliness

adapts  it  to  Canada  and  northern 
portions  of  the  United  States. 

/ Pocklington — Bunch  and  berries 
large,  when  fully  ripe  a light  golden 
yellow;  juicy,  tender,  sweet,  with 
little  pulp.  Vine  thoroughly  hardy,
