NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES. 



PEACHES. 



The three varieties here described are of recent introduction and come highly recommended. They have not fruited 

 with us. 



THE CHAMPION PEACH. 



A new early Peach described as large, handsome, creamy white with red cheek ; sweet, rich, juicy, freestone ; a good 

 shipper. Hardy and productive. 50c. 



THE CROSBY PEACH. (Excelsior.) 



A new variety which comes highly recommended, especially for its hardiness. Fruit medium, roundish, slightly flattened, 

 bright orange-yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine on sunny side ; good in quality. Ripens between Crawford's Early 

 and Late. 50c. 



THE ELBERTA PEACH. 



This variety originated in Georgia some years ago, and has proved to be one of the most valuable for that region. It is 

 also highly spoken of in other parts of the country. Here in New York State it has done remarkably well, and is considered 

 highly promising. Large, yellow ; quality good. Ripens about with Crawford's Late here. 25c. 



GRAPES, ETC. 



The grapes and some of the other small fruits here named have been offered before and are described in the General 

 Catalogue but are of such superior merit that we think it not out of place to direct especial attention to them. 



THE DIAMOND OR MOORE'S DIAMOND GRAPE. 



A pure native ; bunch large, compact ; berry medium size ; color greenish white with a yellow tinge when fully ripe ; 

 fiesh juicy and almost without pulp ; quality very good ; vine vigorous and productive. Ripens with Niagara or a little 

 earlier. 250. 



THE EATON GRAPE. 



A large handsome, very showy grape. Bunch large compact; berries very large, round, black, covered with a thick blue 

 bloom. In general appearance of bunch and berry, it strongly resembles Moore's Early. Skin thick, very juicy with some 

 pulp ; quality good. Promises to be a valuable market grape on account of its handsome appearance. $1.00. 



THE MILLS GRAPE. 



Raised by crossing Muscat Hamburgh with Creveling. Bunch very large, compact, shouldered, some clusters weighing 

 over twelve ounces. Berry large, round, jet black, covered with a thick bloom ; tlesh firm, meaty, juicy, breaking with a rich 

 sprightly flavor. Skin thick ; berries adhere firmly to the peduncle. Vine vigorous and productive ; foliage large and 

 healthy. Ripens about with the Concord, or a little later, and is a long keeper. We think it will be especially valuable 

 towards the South, $1.00, 



One of our customers in N. J., under date of September 2, 1892, writes as follows: 



" Mills Grape now ripening ; immense crop, fine fruit ; vine the most vigorous I have ever had. The vines bought of you 

 April 30, 1889, now cover a trellis 25 feet long and ten feet high." /t is the grape 0/ the ficture for this country^ 



THE WINCHELL GRAPE. 



The earliest white grape {identical with Green Mountain). This new white grape has been thoroughly tested for 

 several years in our vineyard, and it has proved so satisfactory in all respects that we can recommend it with the utmost con- 

 fidence to our customers. It combines hardiness, fruitfulness, vigor, good size and e.xcellent quality. 



Though not the largest, yet, both berry and cluster are of good size, and the flavor is e.xcellent, 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, and 

 maturing about the same time as Champion or about a week earlier than the Hartford. This qualification insures its ripening 

 even in the worst of seasons, a consideration which will be appreciated by all planters. Its habit of growth is vigorous and 

 the foliage clean and healthy, while its bearing quality is all that can be desired. It can be said to be a most valuable white 

 grape either for the amateur or professional grower, and there is every reason to believe that it is destined to wide-spread 

 popularity. We think from what we have seen of it in the past six years, that it is one of the few grapes adapted to general 

 cultivation, and of especial value for the amateur, while its earliness, productiveness and vigor, combined with fine quality, 

 in our opinion render it also very desirable for market. Price, i year, 50c. each ; 2 years, 75c. each. 



THE COLUMBUS GOOSEBERRY. 



Introduced by us. This is a new variety which we ha\,-e thoroughly tested and which we can recommend with the great- 

 est conhdence. The fruit is of largest size, handsome, of a greenish yellow color, and the quality is e.xcellent. The plant is 

 vigorous and productive, and does not mildew. It merits a place in every garden. 50c. each ; §4.00 per dozen. 



The Editor of the Rural New Yorker says : " It is the best variety yet introduced and seems close to a perfect Gooseberry 

 tor our climate. 



THE GOLDEN PROLIFIC GOOSEBERRY. 



An American Seedling of the English type raised at Rochester, N. Y. Medium to large, golden yellow • a good grower 

 perfectly hardy and free from mildew. 50c. each; $4.00 per doz. 



THE INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 



This fine English variety fully justifies the claims made for it, when it was sent out a few years ago. It has grown in 

 popular favor and its large size and good quality render it particularly desirable for the garden and market. The plant is 

 healthy, vigorous, and remarkably productive. 25c. each; $2,50 per doz. 



THE TRIUMPH GOOSEBERRY.
