34 ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 



CLASS ill— WHITE GRAPES. 



Croton— Buncli long, compact, shouldered ; berry medium or small, yellowish green ; 

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

 but where it does succeed, it is one of the m^t valuable grapes for the amateur. 

 25 cents. 



Diicliess — Bunch medium to large, long, shouldered, compact ; brerries medium not 

 uniform, some being quite small, form 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 with- 

 out 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. Grown 

 with care it is no doubt a valuable white grape for the amateur, and perhaps in 

 favorable locations may be cultivated successfully on a larger scale for market. 

 Ripens early, before the Concord. 25 cents. 



Ijady— Said to be a seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium ; berry medium to large 

 skin thin ; color light greenish yellow, with white bloom ; pulp tender, sweet and 

 pleasant without much character. Vine hardy and vigorous. A valuable early 



white grape. 25 cents. 



liady Wasliing'toii— One of Mr. Rickett's seedlings. Bunch very large, compact, 

 generally double shouldered ; berry medium to large, round; color yellow with a 

 tinge of red on the sunny side, and covered with bloom ; flesh soft, lender, juicy, 

 sweet and good, not rich. Vine remarkably vigorous and productive, and the 

 fruit is beautiful when in perfection. It ripens after the Concord here, and in 

 average seasons it may be too late for this immediate locality, but will be valuable 

 in more favorable locations and farther south. A noble grape, worthy of careful 

 trial, where it is likely to succeed. 25 cents. 



Martlia — Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered ; berry medium, roundish ; 

 flesh somewhat pulpy ; a little foxy, but good ; ripens earlier than Concord. Vine 

 hardy and vigorous. "^ 20 cents. 



.Niagara — Said to be a cross of Concord and Cassady. Bunch medium to large, com- 

 pact, occasionally shouldered ; berry large, roundish, uniform ; skin thin but 

 ton ail, pale green at first, changing to pale yellow when fully ripe, with a thin 

 whitish bloom ; flesh slightly pulpv, 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. A^ine remarkably vigorous, healthy and productive : foliage Thick 

 and leathery. Ripens with the Concord. This variety is no doubt destined to 

 supply the long felt want, among white grapes. 50 cents. 



Pockling'tou— A seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium to large, generally shoul- 

 dered ; berry large, roundish, light golden yellow when fully mature ; flesh pulpy, 

 juicy, of fail' quality ; vine very hardy, healthy, vigorous and productive ; leaves 

 large' tough and dbwny ; ripens after the Concord. It will require favorable 

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



Prentiss— Bunch medium, compact ; berry medium, round ; skin thick, pale yellow 

 when ripe ; flesh tender, juicy, sweet and pleasant. It bears considerable resemb- 

 lance to the Rebecca, but the clusters are more uniform. It is not, however, so 

 good in quality and ripens later ; after the Concord. Vine a moderate grower and 

 productive. 25 cents. 



Rebecca— A fine and delicious grape ; berry and bunch medium size ; vine a moderate, 

 slender grower but an abundant bearer ; quite hardy ; ripens almost as soon as the 

 Delaware. We regard it as the highest flavored of our native grapes ; recommend- 

 ed particularly for careful garden culture. It does well grafted on a strong 

 growing sort. 25 cents.
