Brigliton — A cross between the Concord and Diana Hamburg. Resembles Catawba 

 in color, and in size and form of bunch and berry. Flesh rich, sweet and of 

 the best quality, equal, if not superior to Delaware; ripens early, with the 

 Delaware, Eumelau and Hartford. Vine productive and vigorous, but in some 

 locations is subject to mildew. 



Catawba — Bunches large and loose: berries large, of a coppery red color, becoming 

 purplish when well ripened; vinous, rich; matures later than the Isabella^ 



requires the most favored soils and situations, good culture and warm seasons 

 to mature perfectly in Western Xew York. 



Delaware — This fruit has fully maintained its reputation as one of the finest of our 

 native grapes. The vine is comparatively slender, but grows freely, and is 

 perfectly hardy in this climate: ripens early. Bunch smatl and compact: ber- 

 ries small, light red, with a violet bloom, beautiful, sweet, sugary and vinous, 

 with a musky aroma. It justly claims a place in every garden. 30 cents each. 



Diana— About the same size and color of the Catawba, of which it is supposed to be 

 a seedling; a beautiful and delicious grape; ripens about the same time as the 

 Isabella. Vine remarkably vigorous; rather a shy bearer while 5'oung.

 color a beautiful light red, with bloom, fruit almost transparent; pulp tender, 

 sweet, pleasant, rich. The most showy grape in our collection. Vine vigorous 

 and productive. Desirable either for the garden or vineyard. 30 cents each.

 very delicious; generally too late to be grown in this latitude. A fine grape for 

 the South and Southwest. 



lona — Bunch medium to large, shouldered; flesh soft, tender, juicy, brisk sub-acid: 

 high flavored, sprightly and refreshing: keeps till mid-winter with its freshness 

 unimpaired. In this locality one of the finest table grapes. A little earlier than 

 Catawba. Should be in ever}' garden where the climate admits of its being 

 ripened. It must not be allowed to overbear. 20 cents each.

 round: color a rich shade of red. rendering it a very handsome and attractive 

 grape; flesh tender, sw-eet, with a rich, aromatic flavor; ripens soon after the

 set well; berry medium, brownish red: flesh tender and sweet; very good; one 

 of the best flavored of the Rogers". Early as Hartford. A desirable garden

 plish lilac, peculiar, with thin white bloom^ Piesh very sweet, vinous, rich 

 and aromatic. Tine a remarkabh' vigorous grower; wood short-jointed and 

 hardy; foliage large, thick, healthy: has never been known to mildew in our 

 grounds. TTie habits of the vine are similar to the Diana, and it requires ample 

 room and rather long pruning. Ripe usually first week in September. The 

 fruit always sets well and it has never failed to ripen in the worst of seasons 

 since it first bore. 1 year. To cents each; 2 years, 81 each.

 cord. Vine healthy, vigorous and productive. One of the most popular of the

 mildew. In some locations ripens its fruit perfectly every year. 



Crotou— Bunch long, compact, shouldered; berry medium or small, yellowish green; 

 flesh melting, sweet; cjiuality excellent. It frequently mildews and is not reliable, 

 but where it does succeed, it is one of the most valuable grapes far the amateur.
