LUCILE 



NEW IRONCLAD GRAPE 



A Grape for Everybody — Everywhere 



An Indispensable Grape at the Extreme North, Where 

 Only Extra Early and Hardy Varieties can succeed. 



Yields more than Concord or any other market grape. 



A strong, robust grower — Ripens its wood to the tip, under a load of fruit. 



Large compact bunch. Color dark rich red. Sweet luscious flavor — tender melting pulp. 



A superior shipper and never drops its berries. 



Attached to each vine is a metal seal with the words "Lucile — G. B." 



Certificate of Inspection and health attached to every shipment. 



What the State Agricultural Experimental 

 Station at Geneva, N. Y., says: 



"Lucile is of interest and value because of 

 its truly remarkable vine characters. In vigor, 

 health, hardiness and productiveness it is 

 not surpassed by any of the cultivated 

 native grapes. With all of its great growth, 

 Lucile ripens its wood almost perfectly. It 

 is very productive, as much so as any other of 

 our native grapes, often bearing four bunches 

 to the shoot, its crop exceeding those of Con- 

 cord. It has never been known to winterkill 

 in the grape region of New York. Its fruit 

 and foliage are very nearly immune to the 

 fungal diseases of the grape." 



What some of the people who have planted 

 Lucile say: 



NORTH 



Frank Richter, Keremos, B. C. — "Lucile 

 does splendidly here." 



EAST 



C. W. Libby, Medford, Mass., reports Lucile 

 ripening Sept. 5th. "I guarantee the Lucile to 

 ripen in Maine." 



WEST 



Dr. P. B. Wing, Tacoma, Wash. — "Lucile 

 was pronounced the best ever shipped into 

 Tacoma markets. The best bearer and the 

 best ripener."

WalshV'HandbookofRoses" 

 Is Ready For Mailing Now 



The 1913 edition of my "Handbook of Roses," now ready for 

 mailing, is even finer than those which have preceded it. My 

 wonderful new Winona rose is shown in full colors, and charming 

 new hybrid seedling Wichuraiana, Polyantha, Sweetbriar and 

 other roses are illustrated and described. My collection of 

 Hybrid Tea and Remontant varieties continues to contain all 

 that are worth while, both new and old. 



Connoisseur and Amateur Both Will Be 

 Delighted With This Magnificent Book 



The connoisseur will revel in the 

 wealth of treasures presented — 

 novelties that he can find nowhere 

 else, for they include the choicest 

 of my own productions — and the 

 amateur will be amazed with the 

 advances made in rose culture and 

 recorded here. The amateur, too, 

 wHl find the comprehensive cultural 



directions of the greatest value. 

 This handbook is too elaborate 

 and expensive for promiscuous dis- 

 tribution. I will, however, be glad 

 to send a copy without charge to 

 any one who really loves my favorite 

 flower and who wants to have stronger 

 thriftier, and belter roses than he has 

 had before. Do you want one?
