SELECTED TREES, PLANTS, ETC 
MOORE’S EARI.V. 
Lady Washington. A large white Grape of good 
appearance. The vine is strong and vigorous, and the 
foliage large and healthy. The clusters are of large 
size, shouldered, and moderately compact ; amber, 
with delicate rosy tint next the sun ; flesh tender and 
sweet, without foxiness. Requires a favorable soil and 
location to produce best results. 
Martha. This is one of the most reliable white 
Grapes yet known ; bunch medium, compact, shoul- 
dered ; berry white or greenish, turning to pale 
yellow when fully ripe ; skin thin ; flesh very sweet 
and juicy. 
Moore’s Early. A handsome Grape ; very 
early; resembling Concord, with smaller clusters, 
but well packed and larger berries, ripening about 
ten days earlier ; it is no bet'ter than Concord except 
in this respect. Has been largely planted, and 
seems to give good satisfaction as an early market 
Grape. 
Niagara. This Grape has been in the market for 
the last four or five years, and is well enough known 
now to need no help. I have no reason to change 
my opinion of it. It is a vigorous grower, and very 
productive when not exposed to the severe cold of 
the extreme north. It is not affected by mildew, 
and cannot fail to make a profitable Grape. When 
well grown and fully ripened, it is a better flavored 
Grape than the Concord, but is somewhat foxy, and 
ripens about the same time as Concord. 
Pocklington, or “ Golden Pocklington,” retains 
its popularity, and will probably take its place as a 
valuable standard Grape, being one of the largest 
and most showy white Grapes of the Concord type 
yet introduced. It is a pure native, hardy in vine 
and healthy in foliage, rather better flavored and 
richer than Concord, though somewhat foxy, and of 
the same general character as the Concord and its 
seedlings. 
Prentiss. A moderate grower, bunch medium 
size, compact ; berry medium ; color yellowish 
green ; flesh tender, juicy, sweet and pleasant, with 
a slight musky aroma. Ripens with or a little later 
than Concord. 
Vergennes. Very productive ; clusters large ; ber- 
ries large, holding firmly to the stem ; color light 
amber ; flavor rich and delicious ; flesh meaty and 
tender. Ripens as early as Hartford Prolific; ana is an 
excellent late keeper. 
Wyoming Red. Vine very hardy, healthy and 
robust, with thick, leathery foliage; color of berry 
similar to Delaware, but brighter, being one of the most 
beautiful of the amber or red Grapes, and in size nearly 
double that of Delaware ; flesh tender, juicy, sweet, 
with a strong native aroma ; ripens before Delaware, 
and is a valuable market Grape. 
Woodruff Red. A large, handsome Grape from 
Michigan, said to be a seedling of Concord, but of much 
stronger native aroma. Its large size of bunch and 
berry makes it remarkably showy, and it is, therefore, 
a profitable market sort. The vine is a strong grower, 
with healthy foliage, and entirely hardy ; ripens early. 
Wilder (Rogers’ No. 4). Bunch and berry very 
large, round ; flesh tolerably tender, sprightly, sweet 
and agreeable. 
Worden. An improved Concord, being larger in 
both bunch and berry, handsomer, nearly two weeks 
earlier and of better quality. As it is difficult to grow, 
many vines of Concord are sold for it. 
Poughkeepsie Red. A seedling Grape, raised by 
A. J. Caywood ; claimed to be a cross of Iona with 
Delaware and Walter ; somewhat larger than the Dela- 
ware, but resembling it in general appearance. It is 
fully equal to the Delaware in quality, ripens early, 
and keeps well. So far as tested, much like the Dela- 
ware vine in habit of growth. 
Ulster Prolific. Vigorous ; good foliage ; very pro- 
ductive ; clusters medium to small, compact ; berries 
good size, dull copper color, a good shipper and keeper ; 
quality excellent ; ripens early. 
Hayes. A seedling of the Concord, originating in 
Massachusetts, and pronounced b’y the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society the best eating white Grape ever 
shown ; ripens early in September. Bunch large, skin 
thin, berry juicy and very sweet. Vine a strong, ram- 
pant grower, and partakes of the ruggedness of its pa- 
rent ; altogether a very desirable variety, and well worth 
the attention of Grape growers. 
Jessica. A very early white Grape, hardy, very pro- 
ductive, good quality. Berries and cluster medium. 
One of the best very early white Grapes, and should be 
in every collection.
