THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
Early Moorpark. Like the old Moorpark, but much earlier. A large, fine apricot. 
Flesh orange, sweet, juicy, and rich ; parts from the stone. July. Very produc- 
tive.

rich golden yellow ; ripens middle of July. 
Moorpark. Fruit large size, round ; deep orange, or brownish red ; flesh firm, rich, 
and juicy. Tree vigorous. Ripens early in August.

QUINCES. 
Champion. Very large size ; tree remarkably vigorous bears when very young ; 
quality the very best. Keeps until January, and will not bruise when shipped. 
Fuller. Fruit large to very large ; distinctly pyriform, somewhat ribbed ; golden 
yellow color ; flesh remarkably tender and well flavored. The tree Ls a good 
grower. Very productive and holds its foliage until late.

form and color ; fair, handsome, equally as good, and more productive. Tree a 
heiilthy, thrifty grower. 
GRAPES. 
Full directions for the pruning and culture of the grape will be found in our work 
on fruit growing— " Transplanting and After Culture." 
Brighton. In quality it is equal to or better than Delaware or Catawba, with less 
pulp. It grows rapidly and is healthy, hardy, and productive. It ripens with our 
earliest fine grapes. It is as beautiful as the Catawba, which it resembles in color, 
size, and form of bunch and berry. 
Concord. Bunches large, compact ; berries large, round ; black, covered with 
bloom ; skin rather tender ; flesh sweet, juicy, buttery. Vine very hardy, vigor- 
ous, and productive, with large, healthy foliage, which resists mildew admirably. 
Ripens in September. 
Catawba. Bunches and berries large ; skin pale red ; flesh juicy, sweet, and highly 
aromatic. Vine productive, but uncertain except in favored locations. 
Delaware. Bunches rather small, compact, shouldered ; berries small, round, 
beautifully rose-colored ; skin thin ; flesh juicy, very sweet, but with a high vinous 
flavor ; unsurpassed in quality. Vine rather a slow grower ; bears manuring. The 
foliage is sometimes injured in the West and South. Difficult to propagate, and 
hence the vines are higher priced than most old varieties.
