The Niagara. — The Niagara grape is 

 the best of the white varieties. The 

 bunches are large, transparent white, 

 very sweet and delicious in flavor. This 

 is one of the best table grapes, but will 

 answer also for wine making. 25c. each.

Scuppernong. — The Bronze Scupper- 

 nong Grapes are native of the South, and 

 bear well here. In Mississippi, Alabama 

 and Florida Scuppernong Grapes are 



largely planted for preserving and wine 

 making; they are excellent for the latter 

 purpose, and will make as good wine as 

 Missouri. The vines should not be 

 trimmed. 25 cents each. Extra large 

 size, 75c. each. 



Columbian Imperial Grape. 

 This is the largest and most beautiful 

 purple Grape in the world. The v?nes are 

 very productive and grow in any soil. Its 

 deep feeding root enables it to resist any 

 long period of drought, which, however, 

 wbile somewhat reducing the size of the 

 fruit does not in the least affect its bear- 

 ing qualities. It is decidedly free from 

 disease — mildew and black rot. Grows in 

 immense clusters, berries of rich purple 

 color, fine flavor, sweet, juicy pulp, com- 

 pact and even growth. A desirable ship- 

 ping and table grape. Price, $1.00 each. 



Japanese Persimmons. 

 (Hyakume, Zenpi, Triumph). — This 

 valuable fruit has been fruited for the 

 last few years. Most varieties are of ex- 

 cellent quality; twice and three times as 

 large as the native kind; very attractive 

 when the fruit is ripe. The fruit often 

 weighs a pound, is very sweet and of a 

 most delicious flavor. As they are of easy 

 culture and do well here it is a profitable 

 fruit to grow. Assorted named varieties, 

 Price, 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen, large 

 size. Extra large size, $1.00 each.
