producing 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 equals 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. 
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. 
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 occasionally, 
to keep the borers away. The currant worm may be destroyed by 
sprinklmg 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 variety of 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 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 bush much longer, 
fully as prolific, in some trials largely out- 
FAY'S PROLIFIC yielding it. 
CHAMPION BLACK. A new variety from England; pronounced 
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. 
FAY'S PROLIFIC. Has been carefully cultivated for the past 
twelve years alongside of all the popular varieties, and proved 
by far the most prolific of all. Color rich red. As compared 
with the Cherry Currant, Fay's Prolific is equal in size, better 
flavored, with much less acid, and five times as prolific; also, 
from its peculiar stem, less expensive to pick. It is one of the 
few good things that will sustain all the claims made for it. 
PERFECTION. A fine new currant of superior merit. 
Berry very large, larger than Fay's; clusters averaging longer, 
color a beautiful bright red; flavor rich, mild sub-acid. A great 
bearer, less acid and of better quality than any other large cur- 
rant in cultivation. The Perfection was awarded the Barry Gold 
Medal of the Western New York Horticultural Society. Also 
received highest awards at Pan-American and St. Louis 
Expositions. 
WHITE GRAPE. Very large, yellowish white; sweet or very- 
mild acid, of excellent quality and valuable for the table. The 
finest of the white sorts. Very productive. PERFECTION
