SALEM" 



GRAPE NURSERY 



REMqVED TO 



LOCKPORT, N. Y. 



^CaAVING purchased of Mr. T. L. Harris, of Brocton, N. Y., his entire stock 

 /^y of Salem vines for transplanting, and also the wood for propagating fiom 

 y<-U 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 

 icelebrated Grape, described by Mr. E. S. Rogers, the originator, as '' the best 

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

 Hamburg ; bunch large and compact ; berry large as Hamburg ; of a light 

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

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

 as Delaware and Hartford." 



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

 'this variety was awarded the first 'premium. Dr. Parker, of Ithaca, N. Y., last 



fall had bunches weighing over one pound each. 



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

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

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

 Mr. Harris and Miss Waring, 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, very 

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

 cprjl, Hartford, Ives, lona, and the best numbers of Rogers' Hybrids. Also, 

 Eumelan, Martha, and Walter. 



Circulars furnished on application.
