¥WM YIPJS ^ND ¥WM PliflPJg. 



All the fruit plants we offer are transplanted plants — a very important condition for 

 success in growth. 



HARDY GRAPE VINES. 



The varieties described below embrace the very best 



tested kinds, both of the new and older sorts. All our 



plants are strong and vigorous, well ripened both in roots 



and tops. 



Prentiss. Bunch large ; berry of medium size ; color 

 yellowish green, sometimes tinted rose color; flavor 

 similar and equal to many of the hot-bouse grapes 

 —resembling much the variety known as " Sweet 

 Water." It is immensely productive. A vigorous, 

 healthy grower, doing well on almost all soils and 

 localities. It is entirely hardy — vines and buds un- 

 injured in districts where the thermometer falls to 

 20 degrees below zero. The best evidence of the es- 

 timation in which this valuable Grape is held is 

 the fact that for the past three years it has sold 

 in New York for 25 cts. per lb., while Concord 

 and Delaware sold at 6 cts. and 9 cts. per lb. 



Price, strong two-year-old plants, $1.50 each; one-year- 

 old, $100 each. 



Moore's Early. Ripens two weeks earlier than any 

 other good sort now in cultivation. The bunches 

 are large and compact ; berries large, black and 

 covered with a rich bloom ; good flavor, a strong 

 and healthy grower and an immense bearer. 

 Price, two years, 75 cts.; one year, 50 cts. each. 



Concord. One of the best old sorts. Bunch and berries 

 large. Color black, with a rich bloom. When only 

 one variety is grown, plant the Concord. 



Delaware. Red, bunches compact, berries small, sweet 

 and of the most excellent flavor. For quality there 

 is no American Grape to equal it. 



Early Black. Resembling the Concord in style of 

 growth and berry, ripening two weeks earlier. 



Wilder. (Rogers' No. 9.) An excellent variety, berries 

 medium, bunches rather small, color light bronze, 

 a good bearer. 



Agawam. (Rogers' No. 15.) Berries large, of bronze 

 color, bunches of good size and form, one of the 

 best light Grapes. 



Rogers' No. 17. Resembles the preceding in size and 

 general characteristics, but darker in color. 



Salem. (Rogers' No. 22.) A splendid white Grape, 

 tinged with pink ; of medium size, delicate flavor, 

 the bunches well-formed and compact, fine, per- 

 fectly hardy and free from mildew. 



Rogers Bronze. Berry above tbe medium, bunches 

 large, well formed, berry very sweet. 



Essex. (Rogers' No. 41.) An improvement on the Con- 

 cord, berries of the same size, bunch larger and 

 better formed, excellent flavor. 



Brighton. Color bright reddish bronze. Bunch and 

 berries above the average. Flavor exquisite; a 

 most abundant bearer, entirely hardy ; one of the 

 very best. 



Iona. Somewhat similar, but deeper in color. An old 

 and valuable sort. 



Gertner. (Rogers' 14.) Color black ; bunch and berries 

 full average ; flavor excellent.
