Ostheim. Large, dark red, almost black; tender, juicy, mild, almost sweet; very 
good. A hardy Russian variety; the best of the Morello's. 
Sweet Varieties 
YELLOW GLASS _ 
Yellow Glass. Double Glass — Large, roundish, heart-shaped, bright yellow, juicy, 
very sweet and good; one never tires of eating them. Tree very vigorous; certainly 
the hardiest of sweet cherries. Imported by Professor Budd from Silesia in 1882. In 
spite of the freezing it ripened a few fruits this year. 1-year buds, 5 to 6 ft., SOc; 4 to 
5 ft., 40c; 3 to 4 feet, 30c. 
Grapes 
There is not a yard so small but that there is room for from one to a dozen grape 
vines. They may be trained on a building, arbor, or fences if necessary, and they will 
richly reward the planter with an abundance of the most healthful fruit. Any well 
drained land will produce grapes. 
Plant them in rows, 6 to 8 feet or more apart. Dig holes so as not to have to fold 
the roots in planting, cut back the top to two buds, prune off most of the new growth 
each fall, lay down the vines and cover with dirt for winter protection. 
Agawam. Red; large to very large, aromatic, sweet and good. Very vigorous and 
productive. Needs winter protection. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
Brighton. Red; large, sweet, delicious. Should be planted with other varieties for 
pollination. Requires protection. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
Campbell's Early. Black; very sweet, juicy and good. This variety does not seem 
to be adapted to this part of the country. In our vineyard the vines have not paid 
for themselves and do not promise to do so. 25c each; $2.75 per dozen. 
Concord. Black. The well known standard variety for all purposes. Size medium; 
succeeds wherever grapes are known. 10c each; 90c per doz^n; $7.00 per 100. 
Delaware. Light red; bunch and berry small and compact; very sweet and highly 
flavored. Best in quality of all American grapes. Needs winter protection for good 
results. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen. 
Diamond. Moore's Diamond — White; large, round, greenish white, sweet, juicy 
and very good. Healthy, vigorous, prolific and very hardy. One of the best of the 
white varieties. 10c each; $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
Moore's. Moore's Early — Black; berries large to very large, round, black, very 
sweet and good. Two to three weeks earlier than Concord. This variety grows in 
favor every year; one of the most profitable for market and should be in every garden. 
15c each; $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100.
