XEW WHITE GRAPE, "GOLDEN 

 POCKLIXGTON." 



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

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

 scribed as follows : 



"THE POCKLIVGTOJr GRAPE is a seedling from 

 CoTicord, 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 elevatect, cold, late locality; 

 the vines there have always proved themselves to be 

 THORorGHi Y HARDT, 6o'/i in >coo<t awl foliage. The vine 

 is a STRONG GROWER, in appearance almost identical 

 with the Concord, having large, thick le.\thery 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 

 HOUE rsE — and is adapted to succeed in all sections ofthe 

 country."' 



2 year old vines, $1.50 eacb. 



POT-GROWN GRAPE VINES. 



As we were the first to ©O'er Pot-Grown Strawberry 

 Plants at low rates, so we believe we are the first to ofl'er 



HARDY GRAPE VINES, 



grown in pot.t, 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 r.'.pidly increas- 

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

 Henderson's book, ■•Gardening for Pleasure," referred to 

 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 the Delaware, sweet and aromatic. 

 Early Black. Resembling the Concord in style of growth 



and lierry, 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. 

 Agavr-am (Rogers" Xo. 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 and better formed, 

 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, grown in pots, strong plants, 

 30c. each; or we will sell the entire collection of 1.3 varieties, 

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

 lington) for $4.00.
