RED AND REDDISH PURPLE GRAPES 



Agawam (Rogers' No. 15) — One of the best of the red varieties; bunch variable in size; sometimes 

 large and handsome ; flesh tender and juicy. Vine a good grower and bearer. 25c. 



Brighton— Flesh rich, sweet, and of the best quality, equal if not superior to Delaware; ripens early. 

 Vine productive and vigorous. 25c. 



Catawba — Bunches large and loose; berries large, of coppery red color, becoming purplish when well 

 ripened; vinous, rich; requires the most favored soils and situations, good culture and warm sea- 

 sons to mature perfectly in Western New York. 25c. 



Delaware — 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. Bunches small and compact; berries small, 

 light red, with a violet bloom, beautiful; sweet, sugary, and vinous, with a musky aroma. It 

 justly claims a place in every garden. 25c. 



Gaertner (Rogers' No. 14) — Bunch large; berry very large, round; skin thick; 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 vine- 

 yard. 25c. 



Iona — 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. 25c. 



Lindley (Rogers' No. 9) — Bunch medium, somewhat loose; berry medium to large, round; color a rich 

 shade of red rendering it a very handsome and attractive grape ; flesh tender, sweet, with a rich, 

 aromatic flavor; ripens soon after the Delaware; vine vigorous and productive. We regard it as 

 one of the best red grapes in our collection. 25c. 



Massasoit (Rogers' No. 3) — Bunch medium, rather loose, as the fruit does not always set well; berry 

 medium, brownish red ; flesh tender and sweet ; very good ; one of the best flavored of the Rogers' 1 . 

 Early as Hartford. A desirable garden variety. 25c. 



Salem (Rogers' No. 53) — Bunch large, compact; berry large, round, coppery red; flesh tender juicy, 

 slight pulp; in quality one of the best. Ripens with Concord. Vine healthy, vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. One of the most popular of the Rogers'. 25c. 



WHITE GRAPES 



Duchess — Bunch medium to large, long, shouldered, compact ; berries medium, roundish ; skin thick ; 

 color light green at first, becoming greenish yellow when ripe, fruit almost transparent; flesh ten- 

 der without pulp, juicy, sweet, crisp, rich, and in quality ranks as best. Vine vigorous and 

 productive here. Ripens early, before the Concord. 25c. 



Moore's Diamond — 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. 25c. 



Niagara — Bunch medium to large, compact, occasionally shouldered ; berry large, roundish, uniform ; 

 skin thin but tough, pale green at first, changing to a pale yellow when fully ripe, with a thin 

 whitish bloom; flesh slightly pulpy, tender, sweet, not quite equal to the Concord. Vine remark- 

 ably vigorous, healthy, and productive; foliage thick and leathery. Ripens with the Concord. 

 All things considered, probably the most valuable white grape in cultivation. 25c. 



Pocklington — Bunch medium to large, generally shouldered ; berry large, roundish, light golden yel- 

 low 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 requires favorable 

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



Winchell — The earliest white grape {identical with Green Mountain) . Though not the largest, yet both 

 berry and cluster are of good size, and the flavor is excellent, ranking in this respect as* a grape 

 of the first class. In time of ripening it may be described as very early, being the first white grape 

 to ripen. Its habit of growth is vigorous and the foliage clean and healthy, while its bearing 

 quality is all that can be desired. 50c.
