HARDY GRAPES.

CAflPBELL'S EARLY. 



The limits of a catalogue do not permit more than brief mention of modes of cultivation of the grape. I refer the reader 

 to the excellent works of Fuller and Husmann for full details. Plant in rows six feet apart and eight feet apart in the row. 

 Dig holes sufficiently large to amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use only fine surface soil in filling in, mixing it 

 with a little ground bone. Cut back one year vines to two eyes, placing the lower one beneath the surface ; cut back two year 

 vines to three or four eyes, putting two or three eyes below the surface. Spread the roots out, after trimming them ; place the 

 stock of the vine at one side of the hole and fill up with soil pressing down firmly with the feet. Set a stake by the side of the 

 stock, to which the vine should be kept tied, which will be all the support needed for two years. Keep old wood trimmed off, 

 growing fruit on new canes. Any manner of pruning that will admit the sun and air to the fruit will insure a crop. 



By matl postpaid at dozen rates. If to go by mail at 100 rates add 50c per 100 for 1 year old and 15c per 100 for 2years old.

 juicy, and good, with thin skin and little pulp. 1 vear, each,

 Moore's Early, is a JP^l 

 strong, healthy. a 

 grower and very |fc=y | 

 hardy. The clus- jBF^

 and often shoulder- 

 ed; berries medium 

 — a little larger 

 than those of the 

 Delaware, thin- 

 skinned and when 

 full}' ripe a clear 

 translucent green- 

 ish white. In qual- 

 ity it is exceedingly 

 sweet, rich, pure 

 and refined and the 

 pulp is soft and 

 ten der — almost 

 equaling a Muscat 

 of Alexandria, and 

 surpassing by far 

 any other hardy 

 white grape. 1 year 

 each, 20c ; dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $9.00; 2 

 years, each, 25c ;

Dane Co., Wis., April 17, 1900. 

 I received the King raspberrv plants in excellent condition. 



B. F. ADAMS. 



The finest grape that has been produced in a long time and 

 -probably the greatest acquisition thus far achieved in hardy 

 grapes. Its strong, hardy vigorous growth ; thick, heavy, 

 healthy foliage; very early ripening and abundant bearing 

 of large and handsome clusters of most excellent quality, 

 combined with remarkable keeping and shipping properties, 

 form a combination equaled by noother grape. Cluster large, 

 shouldered, moderately compact ; berry large, nearly round, 

 black svith profuse bloom, skin thin but very tenacious, flesh 

 very tender and juicy, flavor sweet, rich, aromatic, with deli- 

 cate aroma ; seeds small and part readily from the flesh, so 

 easily indeed that persons need never swallow them. Its 

 season is early— ripening with Moore's Early, but remains on 

 the vine a long time. The vines are uncommonly hardy, 

 having endured eighteen degrees below zero without any pro- 

 tection and were not injured in the least. There is every 

 indication that it will prove to be the best black grape at 

 present known. 1 year, each, 10c ; dozen, $1.00. 2 years, 

 each, 15c ; dozen, $1.50. 100 rates of either size upon application. 



BRIGHTON One of the most valuable of the standard 

 sorts and a choice table grape. In color, form and size of both 

 bunch and berry it resembles Catawba, but ripens much 

 earlier— before Delaware. In quality it is very fine ; tender, 

 sweet, juicy, and luscious. Vine a free grower and produc- 

 tive, but quite subject to mildew. 1 vear, each, 10c; dozen, 

 60c ; 100, $3.00. 2 years, each, 15c ; dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



CONCORD. Popular and well known. ^ The grape for 

 the people; succeeding everywhere and producing abundantly 

 fruit of good quality. 1 year, each, 8c ; dozen 50c ; 100, $2.00. 

 2 years, each, 10c ; dozen, 6oc; lot), $3.00. 



Eos Angeles Co., Cal., April 18, 1900, 

 I received the two packages of small fruits in fine condition. 

 2Jo reason now why they should not grow nicely.
