QUINCES 
The exquisite flavor of this fruit makes it unsurpassed for preserves or to give 
flavor to other fruit when canning-. It only requires, a very small proportion of 
quinces to give the other fruits a most delicious flavor. The bush is rather tender 
for Nebraska, but we have seen them fruiting finely here.

GRAPE VINES 
The best and hardier sorts of 
grapes such as we . list, can be grown 
in an abundant supply so easily that 
every owner of a farm or even a city 
lot makes a mistake if he fails to 
plant enough for family use. On ac- 
count of their late blooming they 
nearly always bear a good crop of 
fruit. For field culture they should 
be planted in rows eight feet apart 
and six to eight feet apart in the 
rows, according to variety. We do 
not grow Elvira, Clinton, Champion, 
Hartford nor Janesville, as such va- 
rieties only act to discourage the 
planter, when he can grow varieties 
such as we list, which are of su- 
perior quality. With the exception 
of the one-vear Concord quoted, our 
vines are all heavy two-year No. 1 
vines, and are not excelled in qual- 
ity. no matter how much is charged 
They are strictly true to name, as 
they are cut directly from the bear- 
ing vines for propagation, and the 
greatest care possible taken to keep 
them true to the variety. We could 
sell one-year vines much cheaper, 
but believe these will give better 
satisfaction when small lots are 
wanted. To parties wishing to set 
large vineyards we will give special 
low quotations, as we have a very 
heavy stock. The vines will cer- 
tainly give you fine stands and 
growth.

Cfimithell’M Early — A fine new grape, raised by the late George W. Campbell, 
of Delaware, Ohio. Clusters large and handsome; berries large, nearly round, black, 
with light purple bloom; flesh rather firm, but tender; the seeds are few and easily 
separated from the pulp; quality rich, sweet, s.ightly vinous; a strong and vigorous 
grower, with healthy foliage; it ripens very early. The berries do not drop easily 
from the clusters, and the fruit keeps a long time in perfection; promises to be of 
great value. They are well worth what we charge for them. 
Concord — Bunches large, berries large, round; skin thick and covered with 
bloom; flesh juicy, sweet; vine very hardy, vigorous and productive; at present the 
most popular of our native sorts.
