Per 100 $1.50 $10.00 2.00 15.00 CACO GRAPE—Called by some the "Delicious." This excellent grape is one of the most beautiful in color of any grape grown. The color is a deep red wine color; the berries are large and bunches of good size; ripens a week or ten days before Concord. It is so rich in sugar that it has an excellent flavor two weeks before it is fully ripe. The vine is a very strong, vigorous grower, healthy and prolific; the most pro- ductive of any grape grown in our experimental vineyards. It produces more bushels per acre than Concord and will sell for much more for a table gTape; and for a wine grape it is claimed by some who know the value of grapes for wine to be the very best grape grown for wine and champagne. Very few varie- ties of grapes grown in America will make good champagne. This grape never cracks on the vines as many others do. FREDONIA—Grapes are easy to grow in any kind of soil and in any sec- tion. Here is a grape for those who demand the best. Without a ques- tion the finest and most delicious grape in cultivation. It is the earliest fancy "blue black" grape. For home and most prolific commercial grape. Bunches are extra large, very com- pact and solid. All berries ripen at the same time which makes it farr superior to other varieties. In vigor, health, hardiness and productivity it is surpassed by no other variety. Vines produce in abundance the second year. PORTLAND GRAPE (New)—This is a new white grape, originated at the New York Experiment Station, Fre- donia, New York. The earliest of all grapes, which means high prices on ihe market, with large bunches and also berries. Flesh sweet, juicy and of fine flavor and superior quality. The vine is a vigorous grower, healthy and hardy. The experiment station speaks very highly of it. Try this variety and we are sure you will not be disappointed.
