NEWER VARIETIES OF GRAPES. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY.— This is claimed to be 

 the finest grape that has been produced In a long time. 

 It has a strong, hardy, vigorous growth ; thin, heavy, 

 healthful foliage ; very early and abundant ripening, 

 making it especially valuable. The clusters are large 

 and shouldered, moderately compact ; color black. One 

 strong, well-rooted plant, 20c. ; $1.50 per dozen, by 

 express. 



EATON. — Bunch and berry large, showy, black, 

 thin skin, good quality, robust and productive ; season 

 early. 20c. each ; $1.75 per dozen, by express. 



WYOMING BED. — A popular market sort, berry 

 email, good quality, color red, very productive and 

 hardy, somewhat resembling Delaware. Valuable for 

 home use or market. Personally, I consider this one of 

 the best grapes grown, next to Delaware in quality. I 

 believe this will give satisfaction to every one who 

 tries It. 15c. each ; $1.25 per dozen, by express. 



WOODRUFF RED. — A red grape that originated 

 In Michigan. Bunch medium to large, short, compact; 

 berries large, skin thick, of a beautiful bright red 

 color, very handsome and attractive, making it a 

 profitable market variety. Firm, very vigorous, hardy, 

 healthy and unusually productive. The fruit is of 

 good quality, though somewhat foxy. Ripens about 

 with Concord. Price, 20c. each ; $1.50 per dozen, 

 by express. 



EMPIRE STA.TE. — White. Bunch medium, long, 

 compact ; .berries medium, quality best, firm. A strong 

 grower, hardy, with large, healthy foliage, and short 

 Jointed canes which ripens early. Superior in quality 

 to Niagara. 15c. each ; $1.25 per dozen, by express. 



HORSE RADISH. 



— BOHEMIAN or MA- 

 LI NER-KREN — This is 

 grown by planting the 

 small sets or pieces 

 from the side roots in 

 deep rich soil and cul- 

 tivating in the same 

 manner as with the or- 

 dinary variety of Horse 

 Radish, but the plants 

 are so much stronger in 

 growth that the roots 

 grow to considerably 

 larger size and greater 

 weight. The quick, 

 strong growth not only 

 gives a much larger 

 ornp from a given area, 

 both in size of single 

 roots and bulk weight 

 of crops, but also en- 

 ables the grower to 

 place the roots in the 

 market much earlier 

 than with the ordinary 

 variety. When grown 

 In light soils the roots of this new variety are 

 pure white in color, and develop the fine flavor 

 early in the fall. I can send small roots by mail 

 postpaid, at $1.00 per 100. I.arg<'r and stronger 

 roots by e.^press or freight, receiver to pay charges, 

 75c. per 100 ; $5.00 per M. ; $20.00 per 5000.
