(XVs) ness and from acidity about the seeds; have small seeds which easily part from the flesh; are , ripening nearly a fortnight before Concord; bunch an<l berry are large and hand- some; and the vines are exceptionally hardy. Campbell Early falls short in not being adapted to many soils; the va- riety lacks produc- tiveness ; the grapes attain full color be- fore they are ripe, and are, therefore, often marketed in an unripe condi- tion ; the bunch is variable in size; and the color of the berry is not attrac- tive. George W. Campbell, Dela- ware, Ohio, grew this variety from a seedling of IMoore Early pollinated by a Labrusca-Vinifera hybrid. It bore first in 1892. Vine vigorous, hardy, productive. Canes thick, dark reddish-brown, surface roughened with small warts; nodes flattened ; internodes short; shoots pubescent ; tendrils intermittent, short, bifid or trifid. Leaves large, thick ; lobes 3. usually entire, terminal one acute; petiolar sinus shallow, wide, basal sinus pubescent; lateral sinus wide or a notch; teeth shallow, narrow. Flowers self-fertile, open in midseason; stamens up- right. Fruit early, keeps and ships well. Clusters usually large, long, broad, tapering, single-shouldered; pedicel short, slender, with small warts; brush long, light wine color. Berries usually large, round, oval, dark purplish-black, dull with heavy bloom, persistent, firm ; skin tough, thin, adherent with dark red pig- ment, astringent; flesh green, translucent, juicy, coarse, vinous, sweet from skin to center; good. Seeds free, 1-4, light brown, often with yellow tips. CANADA. V. vuIpinaXV. vinifera. Can- ada is considered the most desirable hybrid between Vulpina and Vinifera.
