E. W. REID’S IVTURSERIES, BRIDGEPORT, OHIO 
FAVORITES FOR ALL VINEYARDS 
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, 
shouldered; 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 
10 days earlier; it is no better than Concord, 
except in this respect. 
Niagara. This Grape 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. 
Vergennes. Very productive; clusters large; 
berries large, holding firmly to the stem; color light 
amber; flavor rich and delicious; flesh meaty and 
tender. Ripens as early as Hartford Prolific; and 
is an excellent late keeper. 
Wilder (Rogers’ No. 4). Bunch and berry very 
large, round; flesh tolerably tender, sprightly, sweet 
and agreeable. 
Pocklington Grape. 
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 seedlingof 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. 
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. Cay wood; 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 gro\flh. 
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 by 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 
parent; 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
