Grand Mere Nurseries, 
Grapevines 
While we have not an extensive variety of grape vines, we have a fine stock 
of the most popular varieties in the country. 
CONCORD. — A large, purplish hlack grape, ripening about the middle of Sep- 
tember; vines remarkably vigorous and free from disease: the standard for 
productiveness and hardiness all over the country. One year, No. 1, by mail, post- 
paid, each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; two year old, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.00. 
By express, not prepaid, one year, each. 5 cents; dozen, 50 cents; hundred. $2.50; 
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred, $3.50. 
CHAMPION OB TAiliMAN Vine a Strong, vigorous grower, hardy and pro- 
ductive; bunch large; berries large, black, quality poor, but pro0table as a mar- 
ket grrape because of its extreme earliness. One year old, by mail postpaid, 
each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; two year old, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.00. By 
express, not prepaid, one year old, each, 5 cents; dozen 50 cents; hundred, $2.50; 
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen 75 cents; hundred, $3.50. 
CAMFBEliIi’S EABliY. — It is strong, hardy, vigorous growth, thick, heavy, 
perfectly healthy foliage, very early ripening and abundant bearing of largo 
and handsome clusters of excellent quality, combined with the most remarkable 
keeping and shipping qualities, form a combination not equalled by any other 
grape. Its period of full maturity is from the middle to the last of August, ac- 
cording to the season, ripening with Moore's Early, but unlike that variety, it 
has kept sound and parfect, both on and off the vine for weeks after Moore's 
Early was decayed and gone. In dessert quality it is unrivaled by any of our 
' present list of first early market grapes. It is, both as to cluster and berry, of 
large size, of a glossy black color, with a beautiful blue bloom, pulp sweet and 
juicy, free from foxiness, seeds small, few in number and part readily from the 
pulp. We have fruited the Campbell two seasons and find it far superior to any 
we have ever fruited, are so well pleased with them we intend setting out a 
large vineyard of them this spring. One year old, by mall, postpaid, each. 30 
cents; dozen, $3.00. By express, not prepaid, each, 25 cents; dozen, $2.50. 
DEIiA'WABE. — Still holds its own as one of the finest red grapes. Bunches 
small, compact, shouldered; berries rather small, round: skin thin, light red; 
flesh very juicy, without any hard pulp, with an exceedingly sweet, spicy and 
delicious flavor. Vine moderately vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens early. 
One year. No. 1. by mail, postpaid, each, 15 cents; dozen, $1.25; two year old, 
by mail, postpaid, each, 20 cents; dozen, $1.50. By express, not prepaid, one 
year old, each 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; hundred, $4.00; two year old, each 15 
cents: dozen. $1.25; hundred. $5.00. 
DIAMOND. — (Moore’s.) — In vigor of growth, texture, foliage and hardiness 
of vine, it partakes of the nature of its parent. Concord, while in quality the 
fruit is equal to many of the best tender sorts and ripens two or three weeks 
earlier than Concord. The color is a delicate greenish white, with a rich yellow 
tinge when fully ripe; skin smooth and entirely free from the brown specks 
and dots which characterize many of the white varieties; very few seeds, juicy 
and almost entirely free from pulp. Berry about the size of the Concord a 
adheres firmly to the stem. One of the best of recent introductions. By mail, 
post paid — one year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; two year old, each, 15 
cents; dozen, $1.25. By express, not prepaid — one year old, each, 8 cents; dozen, 
75 cents; hundred, $3.50; two year old, each 10 cents; dozen $1.00; hundred, 
$4.50. 
MOORE’S EARDY. — A black grape. Raised from seed by John B. Moore, Con- 
cord, Mass., in 1872. Bunch large, berry round (as large as the Wilder or Rog- 
ers’ No. 4); color black, with a heavy blue bloom; quality better than the Con- 
cord: vine exceedingly hardy; has nSver been covered in winter, and has been 
exposed to a temperature of more than twenty degrees below zero without injury, 
and it has been entirely exempt from mildew or diseas. Its earliness makes it 
desirable for an early crop, and more particularly adapts It to New England and 
the northern portion of the United States, maturing, as it does ten days before 
the Hartford and twenty before the Concord. By mail, postpaid — one year old. 
each, 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; two year old, each 15 cents; dozen, $1.25. By ex- 
press. not prepaid — one year old, each. 8 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred, $3.50: 
two year old, each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; hundred, $4.50. 
NIAQAbA Occupies the same position among the white varieties as Concord 
among the black, the leading profitable market sort. Bunch and berries large 
greenish white, changing to pale yellow when fully ripe. Skin thin but tough; 
quality much like Concord. By mail, postpaid — one year old. each 10 cents: 
doz'en, $1.00; two year old. each 15 cents; dozen, $1.25. By express, not pre- 
paid — one year old, each. 5 cents; dozen, 75 cents: hundred, $3.00; two year old, 
each, 10 cents; dozen. $1.00; hundred, $4.00. 
WORDEN. — (True.) — In brief, an improved Concord; being larger in both 
bunch and berry, handsomer, nearly two weeks earlier and of better quality. 
Very choice and reliable. By mail, postpaid — one year old, each 10 cents; doz- 
en. 75 cents; two year old. each 15 cents; dozen, $1.00. By express, not prepaid 
— one year old, each 5 cents; dozen, 50 cents; hundred. $3.00; two year old. 
each, 10 cents; dozen, 75 cents; hundred. $3.50.
