GREEN MOUNTAIN. New. Found 
growing in a garden on the side of the Green 
Mountains in Vermont, at an altitude of 
1,400 feet, where it ripened its fruit per- 
fectly. Vine strong, vigorous, healthy, 
very hardy and productive. Bunch long, 
compact, shouldered. Color green or green- 
ish white ; skin thin, pulp exceedingly 
tender and sweet. Very early, being three 
weeks earlier than Concord. 
MOORE'S DIAMOND. Vine vigorous, 
•with large, dark, healthy foliage, prolific, 
producing large, handsome, compact, slight, 
ly shouldered bunches, of delicate greenish 
white, with rich yellow tinge. Its desir- 
able characteristics are earliness, hardiness, 
healthfulness and good quality. 
NIAGARA. One of the best known 
■white grapes. A splendid table grape. 
Mid-season. 
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 Delaware, of same color, with 
similar flavor. Ripens a week or ten days 
before Concord. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
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 
proper treatment. Trim out the old wood as 
soon as it begins to decline, and shorten all 
the young shoots to keep the bushes in good 
shape. Sprinkle ashes around the roots occa- ] 
sionally to keep the borers away. The cur- ' 
rant worm may be destroyed by sprinkling 
the bushes with powdered white hellebore 
while they are wet with dew. In some in- 
stances it may be necessary to repeat this 
process, but the trouble and expense of ex- 
terminating the worms is trifling if the powder 
is applied as soon as the worms appear. 
WILDER. A remarkable variety of great 
popularity both for table and market. One of | 
the strongest growers and most productive. 
Bunch and berries very large, bright, attrac- 
tive red color, even when dead ripe; hangs on 
bushes in fine condition for handling as late as any known 
variety. Compared with the celebrated Fay's, is equal in size, 
with longer bunch, better in quality, with much less acidity, 
ripens at same time, continues on busli much longer, fxilly as 
prolific, in some trials largely outyielding it. 
CHAMPION BLACK. A new variety from England; pro- 
nounced the finest black currant ever brought to notice. The 
bushes are very large and the flavor of the fruit excellent. 
CHERRY. The largest of all red currants; berries are some 
times more than half an inch in diameter, bunches short, plant 
very vigorous and productive when grown on good soils and 
well cultivated.
