. The fruits of Ontario. Fruit-culture. '^02 REPORT ON THE No. 24 CONCORD. The principal out-door grape grown for market in the Province of Ontario. Prob- ably more than half the rines in the large commercial vineyards of the Niagara district, as well as in Essex and other parts of southern Ontario are of this variety. The reason of this is (1) its comparative freedom from mildew, (2) its vigor of vine, (3) its productiveness. Four tons to the acre is not an uncommon yield, so that, even when it sells as low as IJ cents per pound, there is yet a fair return for the Origin: Concord
