THlB: ELIZABETH GilA^PE. 



THE subscriber offers for sale, at the Fall trade, fine 

 Btrong plants of this new ami beautiful hardy White Grape. 



A full history and descripiion of this Grape will be found 

 in the Oenesee Farmer of December, 1S59, and in the 

 Mural 2few Yorker in the issue of tlic 21st of July of the 

 present year. 



"We can confidently recommend this Grape to the public 

 as a hardy, thrifty and productive vine. 



DESCEIPTION. — Bunches large, compact, sometimes 

 shouldered ; berries, large, oval ; skin thin ; color, greenish 

 ■white, with a purple linge in the sun; very little pulp, 

 juicy, sweet, vinous, brisk and pleasant. 



'• "We think this grape will prove valuable for wine, as it 

 ■will yield a much larger quantity of juice than either hn- 

 hellaor C(r/(M('?;a, sufliciently acid to render it well adapted 

 for this purpose. The vino is heallhy and hardy and a 

 prolific bearer, and is much esteemed in its neighborhood, 

 where the IfsiileUa and Cdlav^ha are cultivated. It has 

 been somewhat disseminated among the friends of the orig- 

 inator, and is fast coming into repute." — Genesee Farmer^ 



"At the Exhibition of the Monroe County Agricultural 

 Society last Autumn, our attention was particularly altracted 

 by a ■«-hite grape, marked " EUzaheth:' It was the first 

 time we had heard anything (f ihis variety, and we took 

 some pains to ascertain its history, as well as to form an 

 opinion of its quality. The bunches and berries both re- 

 seml)led the IsnhMa in size and form; skin ihin ; color, 

 greenish white, with a slight purple tinge in the snn; very 

 little pulp. The flavor was good, better than Itahella, we 

 thought at the time, somewhat acid, liutTilefisant. * * * 

 The appearance of the frliage and the flavor of the grape, 

 give almost unmistakable token of its native origin. Be 

 this, however, as it may, the vim is entirely tree from dis- 

 ease;, quite hardy, and a good bearer.— ^wra^ New Yorker. 



As the stock oh hand is not large, applications for these 

 vines will be filled in the order they are received. 



Plants will be well packed and sent by Express or 

 Railroad to any address. 



"We have not desired to impress the public with the 

 value of this Grape, by sending it out at a high pricei 

 but, willing that it should win its way by its own merits 

 have fixed the 



Price, $1.00 cnch.
