Comments: Ephraim Wales Bull (Nee: ) | Concord MA United States | 1851-1900 | Comments: This picture of Ephraim Wales Bull appears on page 238 of The American Breeders Magazine, vol.1, no.4, 1910. Please see that reference for more details. There is a biographical sketch of him on pages 240,242 of that volume. Ephraim was born in 1806. He lived in Boston where he had a small garden and worked with plants. Failing health in 1836 forced him to give up his regular job and he took up farming in Concord, Mass. He bred new varieties of grapes and is credited with the creation of the Concord grape. In 1853 the Concord grape was placed on exhibition for the first time. Mr. Bull died at the age of 89 in 1895. That is all the information I have on this picture. I am not researching this line, just saw the photo and thought I'd post it.
