ALBANY NURSERIES, Incorporated 
EATON — Bunch very large, compact, shouldered; berries very large, many 
one inch in diameter; round, black, covered with a heavy blue bloom; skin 
thin, with no bad taste when eaten close; pulp tender, very juicy, equal or 
superior to Concord in quality; clusters weigh from 10 to 25 ounces; vine 
very hardy, healthy and productive. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN (Same as Winchel) — white; bunch medium to large, 
shouldered; berrites medium, greenish white; skin thin, tough; pulp tender, 
sweet, with few seeds; of excellent quality, free from foxiness; very early; 
vine vigorous, healthy, hardy and very productive; a fine grape, identical in 
every w'ay with Winchell. 
HARTFORD PROLIFIC — Very productive, hardy and a strong grower; 
bunch and berry rather large; black; juicy, sweet and agreeable, but not rich; 
ripens a week before Concord. 
ISABELLA — An old, esteemed variety that is now quite inferior to some of 
the newer introductions in point of flavor and earliness; in some seasons rots 
and is uncertain. 
McKINLEY — A cross between Niagara and Moore’s Early; strong grower; 
healthy, robust foliage; equal to Niagara; bunch large, compact and hand- 
some; berries large, nearly round; green at first, turning to yellow when fully 
ripe; very sweet, extra quality; a good shipper, remarkable keeper; will 
hang on vines sound and perfect for weeks after ripe. All grape growers 
will appreciate the value of an early white grape as large and productive as 
Niagara. The introducer guarantees the McKinley to be as strong a grower 
as Niagara, fully 10 days earlier, with the richest flavor of any grape on the 
market.

taken premiums at Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri State Fairs. The Mc- 
Pike is a seedling of the Worden, perfectly hardy, with leaf unprecedented. 
It is earlier than the Concord; bunches large, even and compact; berries even 
in size, covered with a beautiful bloom, black in color; ripens uniformly and 
has generally the appearance of Worden; the berries are of mammoth size, 
being three inches in circumference and of superb quality. 
MOORE’S EARLY — Seedling of Concord, combining the vigor, health and 
productiveness of the Concord, and 10 days earlier than Hartford; in quality 
hardly to be distinguished from Concord. This grape has taken the first 
prize at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society each year since 1872, when 
first exhibited, and the $60 prize of same society for the best new seedling in 
the fall of 1877; a valuable acquisition; bunch large; berries very large; 
black. 
NIAGARA — Originated at Lockport, N. Y.; is a cross between Concord and 
Cassady; vine remarkably hardy and an unusually strong grower; bunches 
very large and compact, sometimes shouldered, uniform; many weigh 15 to 
20 ounces; berries as large or larger than Concord; light greenish white, 
semi-transparent, slightly ambered in the sun; skin thin, but tough and does 
not crack; quality good; has a flavor and aroma peculiarly its own; very lit- 
tle pulp; melting and sweet to the center; enormously productive. 
POCKLINGTON — Is a seedling from Concord; the vine thoroughly hardy, 
both in wood and foliage; strong grower; never mildews in vine or foliage;
