ILLUSTRATED AND DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 
Yellow Japan. Tree a strong, vigorous grower and heavy producer. Fruit large, round, 
yellow skin and flesh of fine quality. Ripens after Satsuma. August. 
CHERRIES. 
Early Amarella. (Rus.) Fruit large, light brilliant red; becoming darker as it gets riper. 
The stem is so long that it can be picked from the tree without bruising the fruit. Tree 
upright, handsome, a fine grower, hardy and very productive. 
ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHERRY. 
Improved Dwarf. From the mountains of Colorado. Hardy as a Wyoming sage-bush. 
With its deep-green willow like leaves, mass of pure white flowers in spring and a load 
of fruit in summer, it is well worth cultivation for an ornamental shrub. Makes a bush 
four to five feet high, usually fruiting in two years, producing large quantities of jet 
black fruit about the size of English Morello, and ripening after all other cherries are 
gone. 
GRAPES. 
America. This is a seedling of Hermann Jaeger’s No. 70. A native of Missouri. The 
vine is very vigorous and productive, comes into and sheds its foliage very late ; free 
from disease. The vine is very hardy to resist heat and cold; clusters large, berry 
medium to large, black, skin thin; pulp tender, juicy, pure and good; a good market 
grape. Succeeds over a large extent of country. 
Brilliant. This is a seedling of Lindley crossed by Delaware, produced in 1883. The 
vine is healthy, vigorous and hardy, having endured the winters of New York and Ohio 
with impunity. It ripens just before the Delaware, is very prolific; berries and clusters 
as large as Concord; compact, translucent red, similar to the Delaware with less pulp; 
skin thin and tough, berries adhere firmly to peduncle, making it a splendid early 
market grape, 
Bell. A hybrid of Elvira with Delaware. Vine vigorous, healthy, free from mildew, very 
hardy, a good, sure producer; cluster medium, cylindrical, often with a shoulder, fairly 
compact; berry medium round, greenish yellow; rarely attacked with black rot; skin 
thin, pulp rather tender, juicy, very sweet and agreeably flavored; ripens just before 
Concord. 
Colerain. Color green with delicate white bloom, flesh juicy and remarkably sweet, one 
small seed to the berry as a rule; ripens with or a little before Moore’s Early and hangs 
on the vine until frost. A vigorous grower; abundant bearer and perfectly hardy. 
Carman. A hybrid produced by using pollen of Triumph upon one of the best North 
Texas Post-Oak Grapes. The vine appears as hardy as the Concord wherever tried, 
it having passed twenty-seven degrees below zero in Missouri without damage. Clusters 
very large, shouldered, conical ; berries medium to large, black, very persistent; skin 
thin but tough; pulp meaty and juicy; flavor pure and rich, very sweet, of high quality. 
Early Ohio. Briefly, its points of merit are extreme earliness, hardiness and productive- 
ness. The berry is black, smaller than Concord, firm in texture. The vine is thrifty, 
a strong, rapid grower and an abundant bearer. Its exceeding earliness makes it a 
decided acquisition. 
Jaeger. A hybrid produced in 1885 by using pollen of the Ilerbermont upon one of the 
best varieties of VITIS LINCECUMII. Vine exceedingly vigorous, healthy and pro- 
lific. It will probably endure the winters without protection as far North as 40°. 
Bunch very large, shouldered or double shouldered, compact; berry medium, of a dark 
purple, covered with a rich bloom; very persistent to the stem; skin thin, tough; pulp 
melting, very juicy, sweet and sprightly, good quality. A valuable Grape for market, 
table or wine. Ripens a few days later than Concord. 
Kommel. Produced in 1885 by crossing the Triumph upon Elvira. Vine very vigorous, 
free from disease; clusters medium, compact, handsome; berry medium to large, yellow-
