Niagara. The famous new white grape. A cross between the Concord and Cassady. 
Bunches large; berries larger than the Concof d, mostly round, light greenish white 
slightly ambered in the sun ; skin thick but tough, and does not crack ; has a flavor 
and aroma peculiarly its own, much liked by most people ; a fine market variety. 
Like all oew fruits, the Niagara has been critically watched by all who are in any way 
niterested in grapes, and no one has watched it more clbsely than we— if it proved to 
be as i^presented by its introducers, “ the grape for the million,” we wanted to know 
It ; and if a failure, we did not care to push the sale of it. Our neighbor, Mr. W'. F. 
Biandon, has about 2,600 vines of the Niagara, which he bought from the Niagara 
White Grape Company. The vines were loaded. At the time the Niagara came on 
the market, the price of grapes here had run down to five cents per pound, and slow 
also at that. The Niagara readily brought 1254 cents and the whole crop was closed 
out at that price, and was retailed at 15 and 20 cents a pound, where Concord and 
other varieties went begging at 6 to 8 cents. We would advise all who want a good 
white grape that will be sure to bear a heavy crop of fruit to try a few Niagaras 
Good for trellises or arbor. July and August. 75 cents each, |8 per dozen. 
We are growing other varieties of grapes and wilt quote in our cata- 
logue from time to time, such as prove worthy. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
Dallas. This is described by Mr. Howell, of Dallas, as follows: “A native, discovered 
in Dallas several years ago. By culture it has been greatly improved in size, flavor 
and productiveness, and to day it stands at the head of the list for earliness, produc- 
tiveness and absolute freedom from rust. The Central Texas Horticultural Society 
at Its meeting in Dallas on the 6th day of August, 1884, adopted a resolution offered by 
J. M. Howell to name this berry the Dallas Blackberry.” 15 cents each. Si so ner
