This beautiful Colored Plate 

 is the admii'ation of all be- 

 holders. The upper cluster 

 of grapes is the Concord, 

 the most widel}^ cultivated 

 grape in America. The lower 

 cluster is the ti'ansparent 

 lona, undoubtedly the finest 

 grape ever grown in the 

 United States. 



The apple next this cluster of 

 grapes is the Gravenstien ; 

 tiien comes the Orange 

 Quince, the Louise Bonne 

 de Jersey and Bartlett 

 Pears, and the Blackberry. 



Going back on the middle tier 

 of fruits we have repre- 

 sented the Cherry Currant, 

 Early York Peach, Apricot, 

 and Golden Plum. 



Above these are the Cranber- 

 ry, Houghton Gooseberry, 

 Crawford's Late Peach, 

 Strawberries, and Cherry. 

 Each one of these fruits, 

 drawn and colored from 

 life, represent the most per- 



fect specimens to be ob- 

 tained. We deem this Fruit 

 Plate not surj.assed b}' any 

 ever published in this coun- 

 try.
