HARDY GRAPES IN VARIETY. 



"BRIGHTON." Th ' 3 sti11 remains the best grape in its color 

 for table use ; in fact, too much cannot be said 

 in praise of it as to quality and other properties. In color, form 

 and size of both bunch and berry, it resembles Catawba, but 

 ripens early — with the Delaware. Vine a free grower and pro- 

 ductive. Two-year vines, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



a FATflU " This excellent grape is superior to Concord in al- 

 CH I Un. most every respect ; bunch and berry are much 

 larger and more attractive. Bunches vary in weight from twelve 

 to twenty-five ounces, compact, double shouldered; berries very 

 large and round, generally one inch in diameter, jet-black, cov- 

 ered with a heavy blue bloom ; adheres firmly to the stem ; skin 

 thin but tough ; pulp tender, separating freely from the seeds 

 and dissolving easily in the mouth. Very juicy; ripens with 

 Concord or a little earlier. Two-year vines, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz. 



UfMRF'Q " niAUMJn " A. grand greenish white grape, the 



muunc O UIHMUNU. pi . oduct of a cross between " Con- 

 cord," and the highly esteemed "Iona," combining in one kind 

 the two qualities most desired in a grape, viz. : vigor and hardi- 

 ness of vine with high quality of fruit. In vigor of growth, 

 color and texture of foliage, with hardiness of vine, it is the 

 equal of its parent, " Concord," while in quality the fruit is equal 

 to many of our hothouse grapes. It is among the earliest and 

 ripens from two to four weeks ahead of " Concord." Two-year- 

 old vines, from original stock, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



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

 bunches of good size and form. 25c. each, $2.50 per doz.

 color black with a rich bloom. 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



Delaware. Red ; bunches compact ; berries small, sweet and of 

 the most excellent flavor. 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Golden Pocklington. Very large ; deep amber in color. One of 

 the most attractive grapes grown. 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Gaertner. (Rogers' No. 14.) Bunch large; berry very large, 

 round, skin thick ; color a beautiful light red, with rich bloom, 

 fruit almost transparent; pulp sweet, tender, rich but sprightly 

 and pleasant. The showiest grape to be found and should be in 

 every collection for its appearance alone. Vine vigorous and 

 productive. Desirable for all purposes, either for private or 

 commercial uses. 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Lindley. (Rogers' No. 9.) Bunch medium; color a rich shade of 

 red; Uesh tender, sweet, with a rich aromatic flavor. 25c. each,

 surpassed in its color. 25c. each, $2.50 per doz.
