^Ve leave room for only a few of the many Testimonials we have 
received in regard to this valuable grape. 
From Editor Vick’s Magazinb. 
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 17, 1SS7. 
Bear Sir— In reply to yours of the 8th iust., I will say that, in my opinion, “Moore’s 
Diamond ’’ is the finest white grape, all points considered, that has yet been produced in 
this countiy— far superior to Niagara or I’ocklingtou, which are coarse in comparison with 
it. It ripened with me about with the Delawares. Yours very truly, 
C. W. SEELYE {Editor Vick's Magazine). 
Mr. E. P. Powell, an experienced grape-grower, mentions in Garden and Forest, 
Brighton, Gairtner and Salem as his choice of red grapes. For white grapes he does not 
hesitate to take Diamond for the head of the list. He thinks it has been sufficiently tested 
and by the best judges in all parts of the Union. He has not seen one severe stricture on 
its quality, growOi, habit or bearing qualities. 
In the proceedings of the Western New York Horticultural Society for 1S90, we find 
Ihe following references to the Diamond White Grape: “Mr. Green regards the Diamond 
as a promising grape, fine in quality, handsome clusters, productive, with something of the 
Iona flavor.’’ 
Mr. T. S. Hubbard saw the Diamond at Bluff Point last season. It was very healthy, 
bore good clusters, a good sized berry, ripening before the Concord. The foliage was 
healthy, more so than Ihe Catawba; it was earlier than almost any other grape in the vine- 
yard. 
Mr C. M. Hooker said the Diamond first fruited on their place, and was ve^ promising. 
The foliage always healthy, the vine a vigorous grower. Strong leaved and productive, 
RIPENING BEFORE CONCORD, NIAGARA, EMPIRE STATE OR POCKEINGTON. The buiich 
was large sized and handsome, and the fruit of good quality. Superior, he thought, to the 
varieties above named.

Gentlemen — In reply to your favor of August iSth, would say, that the two Diamond 
White Grapes you sent me seem to be healthy and doing moderately well. They have each 
fruited two or three bunches of grapes, which are now ripe and of very fine flavor. I pre- 
dict that they will find ready sale as a table grape. The berries are about the size of the 
Catawba — not nearly so large as the Muscat Fraternally yours, 
D. EDSON SMITH. 
Diamond White Grape Co. : Catawba, N. Y., Sept. 2, ’90. 
Gentlemen— I am glad to be able to state that the Diamond will fully justify my state- 
ment of two years ago, made before the Horticultural Society at Rochester, that the 
Diamond ripened with me that year about ten days before the Delaware. My Diamonds 
are ripe enough to ship, while my Delawares cannot be shipped under ten days yet. Everj’- 
tiody is simply delighted with the Diamond, that see it. Clusters are large, and mostly 
shouldered and compact enough to pack nicely for shipping. 
Yours truly, GEORGE SANDERSON. 
From the Rural New Yorker,' OcL 4, 1890. 
The Diamond Grape has conducted itself fairly well at the Rural grounds this season. 
It has bom several long, well filled bunches, free of rot, w’hich ripened before the Concord. 
Our only vine was set in the spring of 18S7. We commend the variety for trial. 
Esperanza Vineyards, Lake Keuka, \ 
Penn Yan, N. Y., Oct. 24, 1890. j 
Dear Sir — The basket of Diamonds came to hand, and it is the first time I could get 
a real good taste of the Diamond. I like it very much to eat — I am pleased with its flavor. 
Respectfully, G. C. SNOW. 
G. R. Wood, Kentucky, says: “Moore’s Diamond has come to stay; it is all that was 
ever claimed for it. With me it ripened on August 4th, and is hanging on the vines to-day, 
September 12th, in perfect condition, with large, w-hite, beautiful clusters; a favorite with 
everyone who has tasted it.
