photo shows the lattice of a grape vine with a wooden plaque that says: I looked about to see what I could find among our wildings. The next thing to do was find the best and earlies grape for seed and this I found in an accidental seedling at the foot of the hill. The crop was abundant, ripe in August and of very good quality for a wild grape. I sowed the seed in the autumn of 1843. Among them the Concord was the only worth saving.
