Excerpt from Geo. S. Josselyn, 1896

While conceding that for many years the Concord has justly occupied the place of the most popular and valuable grape for general use in this country. All who have grown it largely will recognize these serious defects: First. Skin tender and easily cracked or broken. And berries falling too easily from ih stems in handling.

Second. Pulp too acid about the seeds; also too soft next the skin. Rendering packing and shipping difficult. Except under very favorable conditions.

Third. Lack of keeping qualities: breaking down or decaying too soon after gathering. Or if left to ripen fully upon the vines.
Fourth. Too late in ripening for many Northern localities: and.
Fifth. Quality not good enough for the most cultivated tastes.

Careful observation and experience. As well as the opinions of competent judges. Warrant the confident assertion that Campbell's Early remedies all the above-named defects. And at the same time retains every good point of the Concord. With increased vigor of growth. Larger and finer clusters. And more luxuriant and healthy foliage.
