NEWER VARIETIES OF GRAPES. 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY — This is claimed to he 
the finest grape that has been produced in a long time. 
It has a strong, hardy., vigorous growth; thin, heavy, 
healthful foliage ; very early and abundant ripening, 
making it especially valuable. The clusters are large 
and shouldered, moderately compact; color black. One 
strong, well-rooted plant, 20c.; $1.50 per dozen, by 
express. 
EATON. - Bunch and berry large, showy, black, 
thin skin, good quality, robust and productive; season 
early. 20c. each; $1.75 per dozen, by express. 
WYOMING RED. — A popular market sort, berry 
small, good quality, color red, very productive and 
hardy, somewhat resembling Delaware. Valuable for 
home use or market. Personally, I consider this one of 
the best grapes grown, next to Delaware in quality. I 
believe this will give satisfaction to every one ’ who 
tries it. 15c. each ; $1.25 per dozen, by express. 
. WOODRUFF RED —A red grape that originated 
in Michigan. Bunch medium to large, short, compact; 
berries large, skin thick, of a beautiful bright red 
color, very handsome and attractive, making it a 
profitable market variety. Firm, very vigorous, hardy, 
healthy and unusually productive. The fruit is of 
good quality, though somewhat foxy. Ripens about 
with Concord. Price, 20c. each; $1.50 per dozen, 
by express. 
EMPIRE STATE. —White. Bunch medium, long, 
compact; berries meuium, quality best, firm. A strong 
grower, hardy, with large, healthy foliage, and short 
jointed canes which ripens early. Superior in quality 
to Niagara. 15c. each; $1.25 per dozen, by express. 
HORSE RADISH. 
—BOHEMIAN or MA¬ 
LI NER-KREN—This is 
grown by planting the 
small sets or pieces 
from the side roots in 
deep rich soil and cul¬ 
tivating in the same 
manner as with the or¬ 
dinary variety of Horse 
Radish, but the plants 
are so much stronger in 
growth that the roots 
grow to considerably 
larger size and greater 
weight. The quick, 
strong growth not only 
gives a much larger 
crop from a given area, 
both in size of single 
roots and bulk weight 
of crops, but also en¬ 
ables the grower to 
place the roots in the 
market much earlier 
than with the ordinary 
variety. When grown 
in light soils the roots of this new variety are 
pure white in color, and develop the fine flavor 
early in the fall. I can send small roots by mail 
postpaid, at $1.00 per 100. Larger and stronger 
roots by express or freight, receiver to pay charges, 
75c. per 100; $5.00 per M. ; $20.00 per 5000.
