SALEM 



GRAPE NURSERY 



REMOVED TO 



LOCKPORT, N. Y. 



'■\ AVING purchased of Mr. T. L. Harris, of Brocfon, N. Y., his entire stock 



V of Salem vines for transplanting, and also the wood for propagating fiom 

 •^ his Sa'em vineyard of thirtj^ acres, I shall be prepared to furnish to 

 ^ planters and dealers, for the fall of 1^00, a large and superior stock of this 

 ielebrated Grape, de>cribed by Mr. E. 8. Rogers, the origina'or, as " the best 

 ►f his entire collection," being " a H^^brid between a native an J the Black 

 lamburg ; bunch large and compact ; berrj^ large as Hamburg ; of a light 

 chestnut or Catawba color : thin skinned ; [)erfectly free from hard pulp ; very 

 weet and sprightl}', with a most exquisite aromatic flavor ; as early and hardy 

 IS Delaware and Hartford." 



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

 his variety was awarded the first premium. Dr. Parker, of Ithaca, N". Y. , last 

 iall had bunches weighing over one pound each. 



This grape wa«< first numbered 22, in Mr. Rogers' collection, but a spurious 

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

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

 klr. Harris and Miss Waring, from Mr. Rogers himself. 



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

 eel certain that it will now be planted largely in vinej'ards. Also for sa'e, very 

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

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

 iiumelan, Martha, and Walter.
