 HARDY GRAPE VINES 



CACO OR CATAWBA-CONCORD 



A cross between the old favorite Catawba and the well-known Concord. 

 It ripens a httle in advance of the Concord. This variety fully equals the 

 Concord in strength and rapidity of growth and is very hardy. The color 

 is a rich, sparkling wine-red, with abundant bloom. Bunch large; berry 

 medium to large and almost round. The crowning merit, however, is its 

 quality, surpassing in tenderness of pulp, luscious flavor and aroma the 

 Catawba, while it is as prolific as the Concord. {See engraving.) Price, 

 2-year vines, Sl.OO each; SIO.OO per doz. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY 



Some points of special merit in Campbell's Early are a very strong, 

 vigorous, hardy vine, with thick, heavy mildew-resisting foliage, and bear- 

 ing abundant clusters; very large, compact and handsome. Berries large, 

 often an inch or more in diameter; black, with light purple bloom; skin thin, 

 but very tenacious; flesh firm but tender, parting easily from its few and 

 small seeds. Flavor rich, sweet, slightly vinous, free from foxiness. Its 

 season is very early, and its keeping qualities remarkable; ha%'ing hung upon

 tendency to fall off or shell from stem. Price, 2-year \'ines, Sl.OO each.

Raspberries—Black Varieties 



(If wanted by Parcel Post add 10c. per doz.) 



Black Diamond. A berry very popular among western New York growers. 

 One of the strongest growers making an abundance of good, clean wood 

 which ripens up well in the fall, thus enabling it to withstand the cold 

 weather remarkably well. Fruit jet black and juicy mth few seeds. 



Cumberland. In size the fruit is simply enormous, the berries measuring 

 seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, but in spite of this, the frmt is 

 possessed of unusual firmness. Extremely \'igorou3 and remarkably free 

 from disease. 



The "Munger." The fruit is black and resembles Gregg very much. It 

 is a better flavored berry than Gregg, tougher in texture, and therefore a 

 better shipper. In size it excels Gregg, and is extra fine for the, ' table 

 and preserving.

NEW BLACKBERRY JOY 



New Continuous-Fruiting 0+ 'D^,--^,-, 

 Red Raspberry Ot. JTieglS 



Fruits from June to Frost. 



It is the earliest of all red raspberries; beginning to ripen in New Jersey from June 

 15th to 20th — just as the strawberry crop is waning. 



It is wonderfully prolific; the first or main crop being far greater than that of 

 any other red variety known; it succeeds upon all soils, and the canes are absolutely 

 hardy. 



It fruits on the old canes in generous quantities until late in August. By that 

 date berries begin to ripen upon the young canes, which continue to produce ber- 

 ries in increasing numbers until severe frost. 



The berries are a bright crimson, of large size and surpassing quality — rich 

 sugary, with full raspberry flavor. They are of exceedingly meatv, firm texture and 

 keep in good condition longer after being gathered, than any other red raspberry. 



Price, strong transplanted -plants, SI. 50 per doz., S8.00 per 100.
