SALEM 



GRAPE NURSERY 



REMOVED TO 



LOCKPORT, N. Y. 



'^©jAVING purchased of Mr. T. L. Harris, of Broc;on, X. Y., his entire stock 

 /tf^]/ of Salem vines for transplanting, and also the wood for propagating from 

 his Salem vineyard of thirty acres, I shall be prepared to furnish to 

 planters and dealers, for the fall of 1869, a large and superior stock of this 

 celebrated Grape, described by Mr. E. S. Rogers, the origina'or, as ''the best 

 of his entire collection," being " a Hybrid between a native and the Black 

 Hamburg ; bunch large and compact ; berr}' large as Hamburg ; of a light 

 chestnut or Catawba color ; thin skinned ; perfectly free from hard pulp ; very 

 sweet and sprightly, with a most exquisite aromatic flavor ; as early and hardy 

 as Delaware and Hartford." 



At the last Annual Fair of the •• Lake Shore Grape Growers' Association " 

 this variety- was awarded the first premiu/n. Dr. Parker, of Ithaca, N. Y., last 

 fall had bunches weighing over one pound each. 



This grape was first numbered 22, in Mr. Rogers' collection, but a spurious 

 sort havin;,^ been sold as this, he changed the number and then gave it a name. 

 Our stock is guaranteed genuine, being derived entireh', through the hands of 

 Mr. Harris and Miss "\Varin;:, from Mr. Rogers himself. 



I shall furnish superior vines of Salem, for fall planting, at reduced rates, and 

 feel certain that it will now be planted largely in vineyards. Also for sale, eery 

 low, a large stock of all new and leading varieties, comprising Delaware, Con- 

 cord, Hartford, Ives, lona, and the best numbers of Rogers' H3'brids. Also^ 

 Eumelan, Martha, and Walter. 



Circulars furnished on application.
