The "COLDEIM POCKLIIMCTON" 
The best hardy, White Grape. 
The PocKLiNGTON i3 a seedling from tlie Concord. 
The vine is a stuong guoweu, having lauge, thick, leathery foliagb, 
and never mildews — either in foliage or fruit. 
The fruit is of a light golden yellow, covered with bloom ; bunches very- 
large, sometimes shouldered; berries round, very large and thickly set on the 
bunch; quality better than the Concord in its best state. Ripens with the Con- 
cord, and will prove to be the White Grape for the million — both for market 
ASD HOME USE — and is adapted to succeed in all sections of the country. 
Dorchester, Mass., Oct. 18th, 1880.— " Thanks for the fine basket of Pockling- 
toa grapes, which are giving our family a lucious feast. It is a remarkable 
variety, so rich and sweet, and withal so hardy and vigorous, as it proves in your 
cold location." Maushali. P. Wilder. 
Mr. Thomas Meehan, Editor of the Gardener's Monthly, October 14, 1879, 
writes: — "I find the plants of Pocklington Grape are growing finely. It is one 
of the best growers we have. From what I have seen of it, it is a very promis- 
ing variety." 
The American Agriculturist says of it. — "Of much better quality than 
(Concord; intensely sweet. The berry adheres well to the stalks, and has every 
appearance of being a good keeper. The great size and copious bloom makes 
this Grape attractive to the eye.'' 
"I saw the Pocklinglon repeatedly, growins; at liochcster. It was eatable 
Sept. 1st; was in its glory Sept. lo; was still good Oct. 1st, wlien it had assiuned 
a rich amber hue. It is hardy, healthy, vigorous and productive — a grape that 
will r.ucceed with the Concord." — Chas. A. Guben, .n Country Gentleman. 
"The Pocklington, how do you like it?" has been asked of me so often, I 
avail myself of the columns of the Rural New Yorker to give a more general re- 
ply than 1 could in separate answers to individual questioners. I will say I like 
its large size, both in bunch and berry; the hardiness, health and Concord charac 
terofthc vine, both in growth and I'oliage; and I like it especially forthosoquali- 
ties which promise to make it both valuable and prolitablo as a shipping and 
market grape. When fully ripe its color— a handsome golden yellow— is quite 
attractive, the clusters are very large, the skin of the berfies, although thin, is 
quite tenacious, and this grape will bear handling and shipping, with ordinarily 
good care, much better than the Concord, or any of its seedlings within my 
knowledge. Then I think it will prove one of the best keepers. For two suc- 
cessive years I kept clusters of the Pocklington in the ordinaiy temperature of a 
-iving-room for three months, and found tliem neither to decay nor lose flavor, 
and they gradually dry into raisins.— Guo. W. Camimsell, in Rural New Yorker.
