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, 15c. ; $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. 



M^'PIKE. — This is a new grape about which there 

 has been a great deal written and said. It has been on 

 exhibition in nearly every part of the country. Its 

 great size, fine flavor and beauty always attract atten- 

 tion. It is a seedling of the Worden, and has many of 

 the good qualities of both Worden and Concord ; the 

 berries are very large, sometimes as much as three 

 Inches in circumference ; ripens evenly and keeps well ; 

 the vine is very strong and thrifty In growth, with 

 large leathery leaves ; color purplish black ; ripens be- 

 fore Concord. Plants of this variety have been sold at 

 fabulous prices. Only a few days ago an agent called 

 at my office and wanted to sell me some plants at $2 

 each. I told him no ; that while It was a good variety, 

 I would sell him all he wanted at $2 per dozen. Our 

 price, by express, Is 25c. each ; $2 per dozen. 



WYOMING RED.— A popular market sort, berry 

 small, 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 ; $1.50 per dozen, by express. 



GREEN MOUNTAIN. — This is an extra early 

 variety from Vermont ; thin skin, pulp tender and 

 sweet, quality superb, bunch and berry medium size, 

 very hardy, vigorous and productive. By express, 20c 

 each ; $2 per dozen. 



CALIFORNIA OUTDONE. 



San Bernardino Co., Cal., January 28, 1907. g 

 W. F. Allen, Dear Sir : Plants received, set 

 out and all growing, and expect big results from 

 ; your Virginia, according to your description. 

 2j I thought California was noted for the biggest 

 S of everything, liars included, but Maryland has 

 X the biggest dozens I ever saw. I sell thousands 

 2 of plants, but never such dozens. 

 £ Yours truly, C. W. PATTERSON.

ASPARAGUS. 



I have no asparagus plants to offer this season except 

 about 40.000 BARR'S MAMMOTH, 4-YEAR-OLD, 

 LARGE ROOTS. Barr's Mammoth Is early, large, and 

 when placed on the market its appearance makes a de- 

 mand for it at good prices. This is considered one of 

 the best standard varieties. These roots are grown In 



very light loam. They are large, bright and solid ; 

 will run about 500 roots to the sugar barrel, and should 

 go by freight only. Price per 100, $1.00; per 1,000, 

 $6.00 ; 5.000 or over, at $5.00 per 1.000. 



The above Is all the asparagus I have this season, 

 and when it is gone I cannot supply any more. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



I have an excellent stock of 1-year California Privet, 

 running about 15 to 20 inches ; branched, strong, 

 healthy and heavily rooted. Just the right size to 



plant for best results. Makes beautiful ornamental 

 hedge. Price, $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1,000 (no 

 extra charge for packing.)
