82 PETER HENDERSON & CO.'S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS. 



HARRY 6BAPE 



rOR the past two seasons, we have adopted the system of growing our Hardy Grape Vines in 

 pots. By this plan, a mass of fibrous roots are obtained, as well as a thoroughly ripened 

 plant, so that when set out in either Fall or Spring, a growth is obtained of sufficient size to 

 give a fair crop of fruit the second year after planting; besides, as in the case of the strawberry 

 plants so grown, not one plant need fail, all will grow, and grow vigorously. For description of 

 mode of planting, training, etc., see our work " Gardening for Pleasure." 



As in strawberries, we limit the varieties to only a few of the leading and most approved 

 kinds. 



VARIETIES. 



Early Champion (new), a remarkably early grape, ripening at least two weeks earlier than any 

 other sort now in cultivation. The bunches are large, compact berries, large, black, and 

 covered with a rich bloom, quality good, a stiong and healthy grower, and an immense 

 bearer, even more so than " Concord." It is particularly valuable for market.

Concord. Large black berry, sweet and aromatic. It succeeds on all soils, ripens in every 

 season, is healthy and hardy, and gives bountiful crops under almost any kind of treat-

 quality, there is no American grape to equal it.
