STRAWBERRIES, (Continued.) 



MONARCH OF THE WEST. This is, with us. our 

 favorite variety; it combines all the "best qualities — being of 

 the largest size, early, rich in color and flavor, and abun- 

 dantly productive. 



SETH BOYDEK. Avery general favorite, medium early, 

 of large size and immensely productive. 



JCCtNDA. This is an old, well-known sort, possessing so 

 many good qualities that we place it as one of the best 

 eight, in preference to scores of others of later origin. It is 

 of full average size, wonderfully productive, great beauty of 

 color and form, excellent flavor, but its distinctive value is 

 in its ripening, extending from the earliest to the latest sea- 

 son of the crop, the fir3t berries being ripe here about June 

 4th, and extending unto July 4th. 



CHARLES DOWNING. A favorite variety, of medium 

 size and splendid flavor. 



Triomphe de Ga nd. A well-known and favorite variety, 

 of good size and excellent spicy flavor. 



Champion. A beautiful dark crimson variety, of largest 

 size; rather tart until when fully ripe; very prolific. 



"Wilson. Size medium: color dark crimson; most abundant 

 berry, for that reason is most extensively used for market; 

 flavor somewhat similar to Champion. 



Great American. Large of size and of good flavor, but 

 with us rather shy in bearing. 



Kerr's Prolific. A most abundant bearer; medium in size: 

 round shaped; of light crimson color; one of the latest 

 varieties, being in full crop with us here 20th to 25th June, 



Capt. Jack. A good variety; dark crimson; medium size 

 and of excellent flavor. 



Crescent Seedling. This is the earliest and most produc- 

 tive of any strawberry we have ever seen, but the flavor is 

 very inferior, and, we would say, utterly unworthy of culti- 

 vation except for its earliness. 



President "Wilder. A fine flavored variety, but requiring 

 rich culture to fully develop its excellence. 



Any of the above 12 sorts in strong Pot-Grown Plants, 50 cents per 

 dozen; $3.00 per 100. Ground Layers, $1.00 per 100. 



POT-GROWN GRAPE VINES. 



As we were the first to offer Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants at 

 low rates, so we believe we are the first to offer 



HARDY GRAPE VINES, 



grown in Pots, so that they not only can be planted out at almost 

 any time, but from being Pot-grown, they are always certain to 

 live and grow much more rapidly than the dormant plants 

 usually set out. We have been selling them in this shape for 

 over five years, and find our sales rapidly increasing. Full in- 

 structions for cultivating will be found in Mr. Henderson's 

 book, "Gardening for Pleasure," referred to elsewhere. 



NEW WHITE GRAPE, "LADY." 



A promising variety of quite recent introduction, and for 

 which the introducer, a most reliable man, claims that, in 

 health, hardiness, and adaptability to general culture, it is 

 fully equal to the Concord, or any other native grape. Its 

 quality is of the very best, and it ripens its fruit among the 

 earliest, being in perfection in Ohio (where it originated) be- 

 tween 15th and 20th of August. If it merits all that is claimed 

 for it, and we have every reason to believe that it has not been 

 overestimated.it will be a most valuable addition to our already 

 ■ very short list of white native grapes. 



Price, for extra fine two-year-old vines, $1.00 each; $9.00 per 

 dozen. 



Other Varieties. 



Early Champion. A remarkably early grape, ripening at 

 least two weeks earlier than any other sort now under culti- 

 vation. The bunches are large and compact, berries large, 

 black and covered with a rich bloom; quality good, a strong 

 and healthy grower and an immense bearer. 



Concord. Large black berry, sweet and aromatic. It suc- 

 ceeds on all soils, rip?ns in every season, is healthy and 

 hardy, and gives bountiful crops under almost any kind of 

 treatment. When only one variety is wanted, we invariably 

 advise to plant Concord. 



Delaware, lied, bunches compact, berries small, sweet and 

 of the most exquisite aroma. For quality there is no Amer- 

 ican grape to equal it. 



Diana. Red, bunches very compact, berries of average size, 

 ripens with the Delaware, sweet and aromatic. 



Early Black. Eesembles the Concord in style of growth 

 and berry, ripening two weeks earlier. 



Lady, (New.) 



Rogers, No. 9. An excellent variety, berries medium, bunches 

 rather small, color a light bronze, a good bearer. 



Rogers, No. 15. Berries large, of bronze color, bunches of 

 good size and form ;. the best light grape of any. 



Rogers, No. 17. Eesembles the preceding in size and gene- 

 ral characteristics, but darker in color. 



Rogers, No. 'i'i. A splendid white grape, tinged with pink; 

 of medium size, delicate flavor, the bunches well formed 

 and compact, fine, perfectly hardy and free from mildew. 



Rogers, Bronze. A berry above the medium, bunches 

 large, well formed, berry very sweet. 



Rogers, No. 41. An improvement on the Concord; berry of 

 the same size, bunch larger and better formed, berries 

 sweeter. 



Rogers, No. 44. A splendid sort, berries large, black, bunch 

 well shaped and compact; a good bearer, berry remaining 

 on the vine a long time. 



Price of the above Grapes (except Lady) grown in pots, strong 

 plants, 30 cents each; or we will sell the entire collection of 13 

 varieties, one of each (including the New White Grape " Lady") 

 for $3.50.
