MULBERRY 
The rapid growth of the everbearing Mulberries recommend them as among 
the best where a quick shade is wanted, and their beauty alone is sufficient to 
commend them as a street or lawn tree. Besides the above good qualities they 
bear a profusion of large black fruit, three to four months in the year, which is 
not only edible but the most economic food for poultry and hogs. 
Hicks. Fruit large, sweet, insipid; wonderfully prolific; excellent for hogs 
and poultry. 
GRAPES 
Grapes are nearly a certain crop every year; bear most abundantly and are of 
the easiest culture. -We urge upon every one who owns land, especially the farm- 
ing class, to plant liberally of them. 
Moore's Early. Black; bunch not so 
large as Concord; berries larger and 
fully equal to it in quality. After fruit- 
ing this variety for several years, we 
do not hesitate in pronouncing it the 
very best of all the early black varieties, 
quite free from rot. Rijjens about July 
IS. 
Niagara The vine is a strong grower 
and very hardy. Bunches very large 
and uniform and very compact; berries 
larger than Concord, and skin thin but 
tough, which insures their shipping 
qualities; quality good, very little pulp, 
melting arid sweet to the center; ripens 
before Concord. 
hes. Black; a popular and profitable 
market and wine variety. A good ship- 
per and early; bunch and berry of med- 
dium size, verj- free from rot. Colors 
several days before ripe and should be 
left on the vine until fully ripe, when it 
is of good quality. Ripens a few days 
after Moore’s Early.
