NEWER VARIETIES OF GRAPES. 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY.— This is claimed to be 
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, 15c.; $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. 
MePIKE. —This is a new grape about which there 
has been a great deal written and said. It has been on 
exhibition in nearly every part of the country. Its 
great size, fine flavor and beauty always attract atten¬ 
tion. It is a seedling of the Worden, and has many of 
the good Qualities of both Worden and Concord ; the 
berries are very large, sometimes as much as three 
inches in circumference ; ripens evenly and keeps well; 
the vine is very strong and thrifty in growth, with 
large leathery leaves; color purplish black; ripens be¬ 
fore Concord. Plants of this variety have been sold at 
fabulous prices. Only a few days ago an agent called 
at my office and wanted to sell me some plants at $2 
each. I told him no; that while it was a good variety, 
I would sell him all he wanted at $2 per dozen. Our 
price, by express, is 25c. each; $2 per dozen. 
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 ; $1.50 per dozen, by express. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN—This is an extra early 
variety from Vermont: thin skin, pulp tender and 
sweet,' quality superb, bunch and berry medium size, 
very hardy, vigorous and productive. By express, 20c. 
each ; $2 per dozen.

ASPARAGUS, 
I have do asparagus plants to offer this season except 
about 40.000 BARR’S MAMMOTH, 4-YBAR-OLD, 
LARGE ROOTS. Barr’s Mammoth is early, large, and 
when placed on the market Its appearance makes a de¬

the best standard varieties. These roots are grown in 
very light loam. They are large, bright and solid; 
will run about 500 roots to the sugar barrel, and should 
go by freight only. Price per 100, $1.00; per 1,000, 
$6.00 ; 5.000 or over, at $5.00 per 1,000.

and when it is gone I cannot supply any more.
