 garden. 25 cents.

 size ; sometimes large and handsome ; flesh tender and juicy. Vine a good grower 

 and bearer. 25 cents.

 vigorous, but in some locations is subject to mildew. 25 cents.

 plish when well ripened ; vinous, rich ; requires the most favored soils and situa- 

 tions, good culture and warm seasons to mature perfectly in Western New York,

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

 fectly hardy in this climate ; ripens early. Bunch 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. 25 cents. 



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 young. 25 cents.

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

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

 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 every garden where the climate admits of its being ripen- 

 ed. It must not be allowed to overbear. 20 cents.

 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. It sometimes fails to set a full crop.

 lilac, peculiar, with thin white bloom. Flesh very sweet, vinous, rich and aroma- 

 tic. Vine a remarkably vigorous grower ; wood short-jointed and hardy ; foliage

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