sweet and rich, slightly vinous, and without foxiness in taste or smell. It lias, for 
the past three years, ripened in my garden a little in advance of the Hartford Pro- 
lific, and I regard it as possessing more desirable qualities for a profitable garden 
and market grape, than any white grape within my knowledge. I shall offer it 
for sale the coming fall of 1874, at the following rates; and as the stock is limited, 
will supply orders in strict rotation, as received. 
For strong, selected, one year plants, first class roots $1.50 single ; $12 per dozen. 
Select, first class two years, $2 single ; S18 per dozen. Not. less than 6 at dozen rates. 
A few extra three years’ plants, trained for immediate bearing, $3 each.

fore the Autumn of 1874.

a flue bloom; flesh melting, nearly free from pulp; sweet, and juicy, with a very suri’i/htiv 
agreeable flavor. Mr. Arnold says The Cornucopia, all tilings considered is my favorite 
He furt her says it is the only grape on his premises that lias perfectly resisted the mildew • 
and that it is, in the opinion of many good judges, the best wine grape in America’ 
besides being much admired as a table grape. Ripens with the Concord. ’

an early variety. 
CANADA — Regarded by some as the highest flavored of all. Color black with a tlnn 
bloom; bunch and berry above medium ; free from pulp, with a very distinct foreign flavor 
and very aromatic, with a most delightful bouquet. A vigorous grower, with peculiar foiim.,, '• 
hardy, and matures its wood well. Ripens with the Concord. 
ALLENS WHITE HYBRID. 
A strong grower, tolerably hardy and productive. Bunches large and compact 
berries medium to large; skin thin, semi-transparent; color nearly white tinged 
with amber ; flesh tender and delicate ; quality best; ripens early. 
ALVEY. 
A vigorous, healthy vine, with fruit of the character of Lenoir and Lincoln but 
rather larger berries, and ripens earlier than either; about with Concord. A fair 
bearer, of fine quality; one of the most desirable of this class of grapes both for 
wine and table. Colors some time before fully ripe. 
BELVIDERE. 
A very early black grape, large in bunch and berry ; of very vigorous growth 
perfectly hardy and healthy, and very productive ; somewhat like Christine or Tel- 
egraph, but much larger and liner in appearance. Originated by Dr. Lake of Bel- 
videre, Ills., and will probably be a valuable market variety, on account of extreme 
earliness, large size and fine appearance. Earlier thau Hartford Prolific and of 
better quality, as grown here.
