STRAWBERRIES.— Continued. 



SHARPIiESS. A very large and heavy berry. It is of 

 flue flavor, a good bearer and likely to become a stan- 

 dard sort. 



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

 favorite variety ; it combines all tbe best qualities — 

 being of the largest size, early, rich in color and flavor, 

 and abundantly productive. 



SETH BOYDEN, A very general favorite, medium 

 early, of large size and immensely productive. 



JTJCUNDA. 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 produc- 

 tive, great beauty of color and form, excellent flavor, 

 but its distinctive value is in its ripening, extending 

 from the earliest to the latest season of the crop, the 

 first berries being ripe here about June 4th, and ex- 

 tending unto July 4th. 



Beauty. An exceedingly handsome variety, medium 

 size and earliness, and of the highest flavor. 



Forest Rose, Size of the largest, an abundant bearer, 

 and of excellent flavor. 



Duchess. An early variety, very prolific, and of fine 

 flavor. 



Pioneer. This is, with us, one of the earliest, of excel- 

 lent flavor, exceedingly productive, and a strong and 

 vigorous grower. 



Glendale. Berry long, pinkish crimson in color, flavor 

 akin to the old Hautboy variety. 



Triomphe de Gaud. A well known and favorite va- 

 riety, 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 bearer, for that reason it is extensively used 

 for market ; flavor somewhat similar to Champion. 



Kerr's Proline. A most abundant bearer; medium in 

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

 largest varieties ; in full crop with us here 20th to 25th 

 of June. 



Capt. JTack. A good variety; dark crimson; medium 

 size, and of excellent flavor. 

 Any of the above 14 sorts in strong Pot Grown Plants, 



50c. per doz. ; $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 Pols, 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 selliug 

 them in this shape for over six years, and find our sales 

 rapidly increasing. Full instructions for cultivation will 

 be found in Mr. Henderson's book," Gardening for Pleas- 

 ure," 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 orig. 

 inated) between 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 over-estimated, it will be a most val- 

 uable addition to our already very short list of white 

 native grapes. 



Price, for extra fine two-year-old vines, 75c. each; $7.50 

 per doz. 



Other Varieties. 



Moore's Early. A remarkably early grape, ripening 

 at least two w r eeks earlier than any other sort now 

 under cultivation. The bunches are large and com- 

 pact, 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 

 succeeds 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 invariably advise to plant Concord. 



Delaware. Red, bunches compact, berries small, sweet 

 and of the most exquisite aroma. For quality there is 

 no American grape to equal it. 



Diana. Red, bunches very compact, berries of average 

 size, ripens with the Delaware, sweet and aromatic 



Early Black. Resembling the Concord in style of 

 growth and berry, ripening two weeks earlier. 



Lady. (New.) 



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

 medium, 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 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, perfectly hardy, and 

 free from mildew. 



Rogers Bronze. A berry above the medium, bunches 

 large, well formed, berry very sweet. 



Essex (Rogers' No. 41). An improvement on the Concord; 

 berry of the same size, bunch larger aud better form- 

 ed, berries sweeter. 



Herbert (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. 

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



strong plants, 30c. each; or wo will sell tho entire collec- 

 tion of 13 varieties, one of each (including the New White 



Grape " Lady, ") for §3.50.
