Delaware is the American grape _par excellence_. Its introduction raised
the standard of quality in our viticulture to that of the Old World, for
there is no variety of _Vitis vinifera_ more richly or more delicately
flavored or with a more agreeable aroma than the Delaware. This variety
is rightly used wherever American grapes are grown as the standard
whereby to gauge the quality of other grapes. Added to high quality it
is endowed with a constitution which enables it to withstand climatic
conditions to which all but the most hardy varieties will succumb, and
so elastic as to adapt it to many soils and conditions, and to bear
under most situations an abundant crop. All of this makes it, next to
the Concord, the most popular grape for garden, vineyard and wine-press,
now grown in the United States. As with the Concord, its introduction
gave American grape-growing a great impetus and it is a question whether
or not, with its high quality, it has not had a more beneficial effect
on the viticulture of the country than the Concord.
