NEW WHITE GRAPE, "GOLDEN 

 P0CKLINGT0N." 



This New White Grape, which comes to us very strongly en- 

 dorsed by prominent Nurserymen and judges of fruit, is de- 

 scribed as follows : 



"THE POCKLIXGTOS GRAPE is a seedling from 

 Concord, and was raised from seed by Mr. John Pock- 

 lington, of Sandy Hill, Washington County, X. Y. Sandy 

 Hill is well known to be an elevated, cold, late locality ; 

 the vines there have always proved themselves to be 

 thorocghiy HARDY, bo'Ji in rcood and foliage. The vine 

 is a strung grower, in appearance almost identical 

 with the Concord, having large, thick leathery foli- 

 age, and, like that well-known variety, never mildews 

 — either in foliage or fruit. The fruit is of a light golden 

 yellow, covered with fine bloom; bunches very large, 

 sometimes shouldered; berries round, very large, and 

 thickly set on the bunch; quality better than the Concord 

 in its best state. When fully ripe, it is clear, juicy, and 

 sweet to the centre, with very little or no pulp, slightly 

 musky, but not unpleasant. Ripens with the Concord, 

 and, like that well-known variety, will prove to be the 

 WHITE Grape for the Million— both for market and 

 home use — and is adapted to succeed in all sections of the 

 country.'' 



2 year old vines, $1.50 each. 



P0T-GR0WN 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 seven years, and find our sales rapidly increas- 

 ing. Full instructions for cultivation will be found in Mr. 

 Henderson's book, '-Gardening fur Pleasure," referred t» 

 elsewhere. 



Moore's Early. A remarkably early grape, ripening at 

 least two weeks earlier than any other sort now under 

 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. 

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

 ceeds on all soils, ripens in every season, is healthy and 

 hardy, and gives bountiful crops under almost any kind 

 of treatment. When only one variety is wanted, we in- 

 variably advise to plant Concord. 

 Delaware. Red, bunches compact, berries small, sweet 

 and of the most exquisite aroma. For quality t. ere is no- 

 American grape to equal it. 

 Diana. Red, bunches very compact, berries of average 



size, ripens with theDe'-a^are, sweet and aromatic. 

 Early Black. Resembling the Concord in style of growth 



and berry, ripening two weeks earlier. 

 Golden Pocklington. (See description preceding.) 

 Wilder (Rogers' So. 9). An excellent variety; berries me- 

 dium, bunches rather small, color a light bronze, a good 

 bearer. 

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

 bunches of good size and form; the best light grape of 

 any. 

 Rogers' Bio. 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, perfectly hardy, and free 

 from mildew. 

 Rogers' Bronze. A berry above the medium, bunches 



large, well formed, berry very sweet. 

 Essex. (Rogers' No. -U). An improvement on the Concord; 

 berry of the same size, bunch larger and better formed, 

 berries sweeter. 

 Herbert (Rubers' No. 44). A splendid sort, berries large, 

 black, bunch well shaped and compact; a good bearer, 

 berry remaining on the vine along time. 

 Prices of the above Grapes, grown in pots, strong plant*. 

 30c. each; or we will sell the entire collection of 13 varieties, 

 one of each (including the New White Grape Golden Pock- 

 lington) for $4.00.
