dered. Color green or greenish white ; skin thin ; pulp exceedingly tender and sweet. Very- 
early, being three weeks earlier than Concord. 
HARTFORD. Hardy, profuse bearer, of fair quality. Very early. Black. 
ISABELLA. Black, bunches long, large; berries large, oval. Juicy, sweet and musky; 
an immense bearer and good keeper. 
MOORE'S DIAMOND. Vine vigorous, with large, dark, healthy foliage, prolific, pro- 
ducing large, handsome, compact, slightly shouldered bunches, of delicate greenish white, 
with rich yellow tinge. Its desirable characteristics are earliness, hardiness, healthfulness 
and good quality. 
MOORE'S EARLY. One of the best very early Grapes. A seedling of Concord, which 
it ecjuals in vigor and hardiness of vine, but ripens ten days or two weeks earlier than that 
variety. Bunch large; berry round and large, black, with a heavy blue bloom; quality 
good. 
NIAGARA. One of the best known white Grapes. A splendid table Grape. Mid-season.

and prolific. 
VERGENNES. Bunch and berry large, chocolate-colored; ripens early and keeps until 
mid-winter. 
WORDEN. A seedling of 
Concord ; ripens a few days earlier, 
has a larger berry, and a larger 
and more compact bunch; hardy 
and healthy; black, of fine quality 
and very desirable. 
WYOMING RED. A decidedly 
fine, early red Grape. Bunch 
and berry double size of Dela- 
ware, of same color, with similar 
flavor. Ripens a week or ten 
days before Concord. 
CURRANTS 
CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES 
should be planted on good soil, 
which must be kept rich and 
well worked. Few plants will 
live under such neglect as these 
generally receive, and very few so 
thoroughly repay good and pro- 
per treatment. Trim out the old 
wood as soon as it begins to de- 
cline, and shorten all the young 
shoots to keep the bushes in good 
shape. Sprinkle ashes around the 
roots occasionally, to keep the 
borers away. The currant worm 
may be destroyed by sprinkling 
the bushes with powdered white 
hellebore while they are wet with 
dew. In some instances it may 
be necessary to repeat this process, 
but the trouble and expense of 
exterminating the worms is trifling 
if the powder is applied as soon 
as the worms appear. 
WILDER. A remarkable 
new variety for which we predict 
great popularity both for table 
and market. One of the strongest 
growers and most productive. 
Bunch and berries very large, 
bright, attractive red color, even 
when dead ripe ; hangs on bushes in 
PRESIDENT WILDER CURRANT.
