GRAPES— Continued. 



(Jampbell's Early— This new early black grape 

 was originated by George W. Campbell, of 

 Delaware, Ohio. It is an improved Con- 

 cord, produced by different crosses from 

 Hartford Concord, Moore's Early, through 

 Muscat-Hamburg. It is fully as early as 

 Moore's Early, is of good size, not liable 

 to crack, free from mildew, and of excep- 

 tionally good firm shipping quality. In 

 dessert quality it is unrivalled by any of 

 our present list of early market grapes. 

 The vine is of a robust, vigorous habit of 

 growth, the buds having stood a tempera- 

 ture of 18° below zero without injury. 

 Fruit from vines but 20 months planted 

 out was shown at the annual exhibit of 

 the Chautauqua Horticultural Society at 

 Brockton in September, 1896. This va- 

 riety is this season first offered to the 

 fruit-growing public. $1.50 each, $12.50 

 per 1 0.

GREEN MOUNTAIN GKAPE. 



The Green Mountain Grape— This grape stands at the head oi 

 the list for earliness, good bearing and vigorous growth. 

 The vine is a young and very profuse bearer; the bunches 

 are of good size, handsomely formed and heavily shoul- 

 dered. The berries are of medium size; color, greenish 

 white ; skin thin, and leaving no unpleasantness whatever 

 in the mouth when eaten ; pulp tender and sweet. The 

 seeds, which are only one or two to a grape, separate from 

 the tender pulp with the slightest pressure after leaving the 

 skin. It is now six years since we planted the first vines of 

 the Green Mountain Grape, and the longer we test it the 

 more we are impressed with its great value as an early grape. 

 During these years of trial the grapes have been in every 

 iirstance fully ripe the last week in August. For healthy, 

 vigorous growth, earliness, quality of fruit, and profusenc-ss 

 in bearing, it is, without exception, far ahead of any va- 

 riety of white grape yet introduced. 2-year vines, 50 cts., 

 $5 per dozen. 



lona — Bunches long, somewhat shouldered and loose ; berries 

 of a fine, clear wine color ; skin thin ; flesh tender, without 

 pulp, with a brisk, sweet, vinous flavor. Eipens about a 

 week aftert he Delaware. 25 cts. each, $2 50 per dozen. 



Lady Washington— Fruit yellow, tinged with pink ; bunches 

 very large, often weighing a pound. Vine strong, verj- 

 hardy. 50 cts. each, $5 per dozen. 



Martha— Bunch of good size, and berry large, of pale green or 

 light color ; buttery, sweet, juicy, sprightly. Ripens with the 

 Concord. 20 cts, each, $2 per dozen.
