Ripens very early and is nearly out of market before Concord is ripe, consequently brings a comparatively high price. Vines good, vigorous growers; buds exceptionally hardy; good for home use and grown largely for market, where it commands the highest prices; it also makes a good grade of wine.

-- Ripens with Concord. Bunch and berry very large; vine vigorous and prolific. One of the best black varieties. Quality of the best; a good shipper; a moderate fair grower; buds hardy; desirable for home use and for wine making.

* Worden

-- Skin thin. It is superior to Concord. It is better in quality, larger berry, ripens from five to ten days earlier. Vine. s robust healthy growers; buds hardy; good for home use and market. The Worden is grown largely in the Hudson River Valley. We cannot too strongly recommend this as a valuable commercial grape.
