ELLWAKGER & BARRTS 



WHITE GRAPES. 



Dwchess— Bunch medium to large, long, shouldered, compact ; berries medium, roundish ; skin thick, generally- 

 dotted with small black spots about the size of a pin's head ; color light green at first, becoming greenish yellow 

 when ripe, fruit almost transparent ; flesh tender without pulp, juicy, sweet, crisp, rich, and in quality ranks 

 as best. Vine vigorous and productive here. The foliage is said to mildew in some localities. Ripens early,, 

 before the Concord. 25c. 



Liady— Said to be a seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium ; berry medium to large ; skin thin ; color light green- 

 ish yellow, with white bloom ; pulp tender, sweet and pleasant without much character. Vine hardy and vig- 

 orous. A valuable early white grape. 25c. 



Martha— Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered ; berry medium, roundish ; flesh somewhat pulpy; a little 

 foxy, but good ; ripens earlier than Concord. Vine hardy and vigorous. 20c. 



Moore's Diamond— Originated bv Jacob Moore. A pure native, bunch large, compact; berry medium size; color 

 greenish white with a yellow tinge when fully ripe : flesh juicy and almost without pulp ; quality very good ; 

 Vine vigorous and productive. Verj' promising. 25c. 



Niagara— Said to be a cross of Concord and Cassady. Bunch medium to large, compact, occasionally shouldered ; 

 berry large, roundish, uniform ; skin thin but tough, pale green at first, changing to pale yellow when fully 

 ripe, with a thin whitish bloom ; flesh slightly pulpy, tender, sweet, not quite equal to the Concord. Before it 

 is fully matured it has a very foxy odor, which disappears, to a great extent, later. Vine remarkably vigorous, 

 healthy and productive ; foliage thick and leathery. Kipens with the Concord. All things considered, probably 

 the most valuable white grape in cultivation. 25c. 



Pocklington— A seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium to large, generally shouldered; berry large, roundish, 

 light golden yellow when fully mature ; flesh pulpy, juicy, of fair quality; vine very hardy, healthy, vigorous 

 and productive : leaves large, tough and downy; ripens after the Concord. It will require favorable seasons, 

 and good locations to ripen it satisfactorily in this region. 25c. 



Rebecca— 'A fine and delicious grape ; berry and bunch mecUum size ; vine a moderate, slender grower but an abund- 

 ant bearer; quite hardy; ripens almost as soon as the Delaware. We regard it as the highest flavored of our 

 native grapes ; recommended particularly for careful garden culture. It does well gi-afted on a strong grow- 

 ing sort. 25c. 



"Winchell- A new white grape, very valuable on account of its fine quality and earliness, and the vigor, hardiness 

 and productiveness of the vine. In our large collection, it is the first white grape to ripen, and we conclude 

 after several season's trial, that it is a variety of great merit. This and Green Mountain have proved to be 

 identical. (See cut.) 1 yr., 5uc. 2 yrs., 75c. each. 



NEW GRAPES AND OTHERS NOT FULLY TESTED HERE. 



Colerain (New)— Originated by D. Bundy, at Colerain, Ohio. " Color a light green, with delicate whitish bloom ; size 



medium ; ripens early, and hangs well on the bunch ; a good grower and abundant bearer ; skin thin and tender; 



flesh juicy and remarkably sweet." 1 j^ear, ^IM. 2 years, S1.50. 

 Eaton— Bunch large, compact. Berries very large, round, black, covered with a thick blue bloom. In general 



appearance of the bunch and berry it strongly resembles Moore's Early. Skin thick ; very juicy with some 



pulp. A large, showy grape. $1.00 each. 

 y/Golden I>rop— A native raised by Pringle. Resembles Delaware in bunch and berry; color yellowish white 



with a tinge of red in the sun; flesh tender, juicy, rich, delicate, without the slightest foxiness; vine a good 



grower and bearer. Ripens with Delaware. Promising as an amateur grape. 50c. 

 Jefferson— Bunch medium, shouldered, compact ; berry medium to large; skin thick, light red, covered with bloom ;; 



flesh meaty, tender, sprightly, rich, fine quality. Vine vigorous, healthy. Resembles lona. One of the most 



promising of the newer grapeo, but we fear it is too late for this locality, as it seems to ripen only in very 



favorable seasons. Farther south it will be valuable. 25c. 

 WoodniflF Red— A large and handsome red grape of medium quality. Vigorous, hardj' and prolific. Esteemed for 



market in some localities. 50c.
