Hardy Grapes 



Two Luscious Hardy Grapes 



Champagne. A variety that is being extensively grown in the 

 grape growing districts of New Jersey and which has special 

 merit not only in the quality of its fruit but is also an exception- 

 ally strong grower and very prolific bearer. Its berries are of 

 large size, coppery-red in color, and of delicious flavor. 

 We can supply strong two-year-old plants of either of the above 

 sorts, 60c each; $6.00 per doz.; §45.00 per 100. 



The Caco. A cross between Catawba and Concord, which has 

 inherited the best characteristics of both parents, developing 

 a luscious fruit which ranlis close to the greenhouse grown 

 product in high quality and melting texture. In appearance 

 it is one of the most beautiful of all hardy grapes. Berries large, 

 wine-red with abundant bloom, carried in large compact bunches. 

 It ripens in advance of Concord and is a strong vigorous grower. 



Six Best Standard Hardy Grapes 



Catawba. Red, sweet and rich, with pleasant musky flavor. 

 Concord. The most popular black grape; succeeds everywhere. 

 Lucile. Very large red, of exquisite flavor. 

 Moore's Diamond. Greenish-white, v/ith rich yellow tinge. 

 Moore's Early. Large, black; good quality. 

 Niagara. Berries large, light greenish-white; slightly ambered.

Raspberries 



Raspberries will succeed in any soil that will grow good corn 

 but respond quickly to liberal treatment. For best results the old 

 wood should be cut out just as soon as the crop has been gathered. 

 Cuthbert. Large, deep rich crimson. 

 Latham. A standard red variety. 



Everbearing Red Raniere. This is not only the earliest red 

 Raspberry, but it is a perpetual fruiting variety. Its main 

 crop is greater than that of any other red variety, but con- 

 tinues to bear until late in August, at which time the berries 

 begin to ripen on the young canes which continue to bear 

 fruit in increasing number until late in fall. 

 Any oj the above: 75c per doz.; S6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 1000.

Two New Early Strawberries 

 Fairfax and Dorsett 



These were developed by scientists in the U. S. Dept. of Agr. 

 In the opinion of most of those who have tested them they far 

 surpass in quality any variety known to growers in this country. 

 The "royal" flavor of these berries coupled with the fact that the 

 plants of both varieties are unusually vigorous, healthy, pro- 

 ductive, and that the berries average large in size and are of 

 beautiful appearance will make them the leading early berries 

 even displacing Premier in many places. Fairfax berries after 

 they have become fully ripe are dark in color although they stay 

 firm for many days. Dorsett berries are light in color and stay 

 light even when fully ripe. 



Either of the above 2 varieties: 75c per doz.; 



$1.00 per 25; $1.50 per 50; $2.50 per 100.

Blackberries respond generously to good treatment, 

 prefer a deep soil, but will grow and fruit almost anywhere.

hardy.
