Too thoroughly tested to be regarded as a novelty now. It has proved a success 
wherever cotton will grow, and no collection of trees, whether fruit or ornamental, should 
be without it. Home grown trees, Ji each. 
GRAPES. 
Brighton. Vine hardy, a rapid and vigorous grower ; leaves large, thick, dark ; quality 
best as compared with the finest table grapes : the fruit ripens early, along with the 
Hartford Prolific and before Delaware ; is good as soon as fairly colored red, becom- 
ing very rich, but less vinous if allowed to hang long. 50 cents each, $5 per dozen. 
Agawam. Bunches medium to large, ofien shouldered ; berries very large, pulp soft, 
sweet sprightly, of peculiar aromatic flavor ; productive and of great vigor of growth ; 
prefers long pruning. Ripens soon after the Concord. 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen. 
Concord. Bunches large; berries very large, blue black, with bloom; skin thin, pulp 
dissolving, juicy ; a beautiful market variety ; rampant grower and good bearer. Ripe 
middle of July. 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen. . . 
Delaware. Bunches medium, berries medium to small, with red or pink skin, very thin, 
juicy, vinous and most delicate table grape; a very prolific bearer. 35 cents each, 
Catawba. The best late grape for this section. Bunches and berries of good size ; fine 
coppery or purplish red, and when well ripened of delicious flavor ; vigorous, early 
and a grand bearer.' One to two weeks later than Concord. 25 cents each, 52.50 per 
dozen 
Champion. Said to be the earliest black grape ; bunches and berries large, black; quali- 
ty good ; vine hardy, vigorous, productive. Valuable for market. 25 cents each, 
$2.^0 per dozen. , i i- i 
Black Spanish, {/.enoir.) Of the Herbemont class. Bunches medium to large, 
shouldered under favorable circumstances ; on badly pruned or overloaded vines the 
bunches are loose and not shouldered ; berries small, round ; vine a fine grower and 
abundant bearer. 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen. , , j , 
El Paso or Mission. Bunches very large, often weighing one and a-half pounds; ber- 
ries medium to small, of dark amber color; flavor the best ; commands fancy prices 
on any market. Not quite hardy here ; needs slight protection in winter. If well 
cared for it will repay any one for the trouble. We consider it the best grape for 
Western,’ South-Western and Southern Texas. 50 cents each, $5 per dozen. 
Hartford Prolilic. Bunches large; berries large, blue; flesh pulpy, musky, sweet. 
July ist. 25 cents each, |2 50 per dozen. 
Bulaiider. Small, compact ; purple, sweet, fine quality ; an excellent wine grape. 25 
cents each, S2.50 per dozen. , ... 
Scupperiionir. As this is such a general favorite of all who are familar with it, we grow 
and sell a few. It has never proved a success from Central Texas, north and west, 
though succeeding well in the southeastern portion of the State. 50 cents each.
