Niagara. Has a flavor peculiarly its own 
POCKLINGTON. White. The color 
of the Grape is pale green to a golden yel¬ 
low. The bunches are large and compact, 
and the berries are very large, being cov¬ 
ered with beautiful white bloom. The 
quality is good and it ripens soon after 
Concord. The vine is a moderate grower 
and is very healthy and hajrdy. It is yearly 
increasing in popularity, due tp its fine 
appearance and many good qualities. 
WILDER. Black. The berries are 
large, sweet, with a pleasant, sprightly 
flavor, and with thin and firm skin. The 
bunches are large and shouldered. Because 
of its keeping qualities and good appear¬ 
ance it is an excellent market Grape. The 
vine is a moderate grower, hardy and, if 
given a little attention by spraying, makes 
one of the best Grapes for commercial 
planting. It ripens with Concord. It is 
worthy of more extensive cultivation. 
WORDEN. Black. An offspring of 
Concord, which it rivals in a great many 
particulars, having larger berries and 
bunches, better in quality and a week to 
ten days earlier. While claimed by some 
that it does not ship quite so well as Con¬ 
cord, nevertheless it enjoys great popular¬ 
ity in the eastern states and near the large 
cities. It is quite as hardy, healthy, 
vigorous and productive. 
WYOMING RED. Red. This Grape 
is quite productive of medium-sized, bright 
red, firm Grapes in small bunches. ’ The 
fruit is sweet and agreeable to most tastes. 
The value lies in its hardiness, health, pro¬ 
ductiveness and earliness. This variety 
should be pruned with long canes and 
given plenty of room. 
Moore’s Early. Popular for early market 
GRAPES, continued 
MARTHA. White. This is a seedling of Concord 
and greatly resembles its parent, but differs in the fol¬ 
lowing particulars: Fruit white to green, a week or more 
earlier, bunch and berries not large, but far better in 
quality, being sweeter, more delicate and with less 
foxiness and less pulp. Hardy and healthy in the South. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Black. This is the standard 
Grape of its season, ripening two or three weeks earlier 
than Concord. The berries are larger and the bunches 
somewhat smaller than Concord, but the flesh char¬ 
acteristics are essentially the same, being melting sweet 
and with little pulp, though with a flavor and aroma 
peculiarly its own. The vine is hardy both north and 
southland is planted very extensively for vineyards, as 
it is vigorous, healthy and productive. This Grape is 
the variety for the amateur and the grower who is 
looking for an early market Grape. 
NIAGARA. White. The leading white Grape of 
America. The bunches are large, handsome, shouldered 
and compact. The berries are large, round, with thin 
but tough skin. In all it presents a very fine appearance. 
The vine is vigorous and comparatively free from dis¬ 
ease, though responds very well to any attention given 
to spraying. It was introduced in 1882 by the Niagara 
Grape Co., and while not quite so good as claimed, it is, 
nevertheless, the standard white Grape, and will con¬ 
tinue to be so for some time to come. I have an excellent 
stock of this variety and you should by all means have 
some of them.
