A. C. GRIESA & BRO., LAWRENCE, KANSAS. 
CKAPES, continued. 
Ives’ Seedling. Vine healthy, strong grower ; fruit bunch medium to large ; 
flesh sweet and jnicy, but foxy and puffy. A desirable market Grape on account of 
its good keeping qualities ; it 
colors early, but ripens later 
than Concord. 
Martha. Seedling of Con- 
cord, which it resembles in 
growth and hardiness. Bunch 
of good size, and berry large ; 
pale green or light color ; sweet, 
juicy and sprightly. 
Moore’s Diamond A most 
desirable new white Grape 
originated by Jacob Moore, of 
Brighton, New York. A seed- 
ling of the Concord fertilized 
with the Iona. Bunch large ; 
berry large and nearly free 
from pulp, which makes it 
almost transparent when held 
up to the light : quality excel- 
lent ; strong, vigorous grower, 
hardy and productive. Ripens 
a few days before Concord. 
Moore’s Early. Seedling of 
Concord, combining the vigor, 
health and productiveness of 
Concord ; lo days earlier than 
Hartford ; in quality hardly to 
be distinguished from Concord. 
This Grape has taken the first 
prize at the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society each year 
since 1S72, when first exhibited, 
and the $60 prize of same society 
for the best new seedling in 
the fall of 1877. A valuable ac- 
quisition. Bunch large, berries 
very large, black. 
Niagara. Bunch medium to large, compact, .sometimes shouldered, being large, 
roundish, uniform ; skin thin but tough, pale green at first, changing to pale yellow 
when fully ripe, with a thin, whitish bloom ; flesh slightly pulpy, tender, sweet 
before it is fully ripe : it has a musky odor, which disappears when fully ripe ; vine 
vigorous, healthy and productive ; ripens with Concord. 
Pocklington. Seedling from Concord. The vine is thoroughly hardy, both in 
wood and foliage ; is a strong grower, never mildews in vine or foliage. This is 
called a white Grape, but the fruit is a light golden yellow, clear, juicy and .sweet to 
the center, with little or no pulp ; bunches very large, sometimes shouldered ; berries 
round, very large and thickly set ; (juality, when fully ripe, superior to the Concord. 
Ripens with the Concord. 
Salem. Bunch large.and compact: berry large, of a light chestnut or Catawba 
color; thick skinned, perfectly free from hard pulp ; very sweet and sprightly, with a 
most e.xquisite aromatic flavor ; as early as Delaware, having never failed to ripen in 
the most unfavorable seasons for the last six years ; keeps well. 
Worden. Seedling of Concord, which it greatly resembles in appearance and 
flavor, but the berries are larger. The fruit is said to be better flavored, and to ripen 
several days earlier. These qualities will give it the foremost rank among native 
Grapes. ' 
Wyoming Red. A very early, medium-sized red variety ; bunch small but 
compact ; skin bright red, sweet, very agreeable, were it not for the slight foxy odor 
apparent when first gathered. 
Moore’s Diamond. 
Trifles make Perfection, tout Perfection is no Trifle.
